End of 2019 Goals!

End of 2019 Goals!

So, I know it's probably a bit of an odd time to make this post but who cares I'm feeling motivated and inspired & I have a small list of things I want to accomplish before 2019 is out, albeit there's only 5 months left of this year!

1. Reading Challenge 2019

So it speaks for itself, I want to prioritise reading again. I love it but I never do it anymore and I have a pile of books I really want to read and indulge myself in.

The challenge is to try and read 5 books before 2019 is over.

I will create an on-going blog post to keep track and to update regularly when i finish a book, just to track my own achievements of finishing (hopefully) 5 books.

2. Pass my driving theory est 

Self-explanatory really, I just need to revise, revise, revise & pass!

3. Pass my driving test.

I still need to pass my theory test obviously. But hopefully, my lessons are on-going at the moment and are going really well.

Fingers crossed, I pass my theory soon and followed by my practical!

4. Eat healthier & Exercise more.

I really want to start running/jogging more. Recently I've made more of an effort to get out a lot more and go for evening walks with my sister.

I also want to try and do the 10,000 steps a day challenge that last for a week, so maybe when I decide to do that I will document it over on my Instagram and do an overview blog post on here.

Ultimately, I want to start eating healthier too. I love fruit, I could live off of fruit, but veggies aren't exactly my bestie. So that's something I need to work on, incorporating more veggies into my diet.

I'm trying to get a few staple smoothie recipes together so I can pack loads of fruit and veg into a smoothie so you can't taste the veg too much. I'm trying to be more conscious of what I'm snacking on throughout the day and making my meals more filling and healthier.

But also, chocolate is my guilty pleasure, really it's my biggest down fall I think. So I need to cut back on the chocolate indulgence and reach for some cucumber or fruit instead, haha!

5. Put 110% in my second year at Uni.

So, this autumn I'm going into my second year at university and this academic year I really let myself slip into a rut and it didn't go well. I need to plan ahead, stay organised, work damn hard and make good use of my free time at university. 

I'm going to make a blog post all about how I'm preparing for my second year, and how I'm planning and keeping myself organised and motivated to succeed as well as I can next year.

6. Start Saving!

I'm not the best at saving, having my everyday savers account attached to my main current account it's proven so difficult for me to save. I find myself transferring it backwards and forwards to my account having them on my online banking app.

I need to start saving big time towards a car and car insurance, but also for bigger things in the future like saving towards a mortgage and investments.

7. Learn Italian

So for the longest time I've had this urge and wonder about learning the beautiful language that is Italian and I really don't understand why. I can't pin point the origin of my interest or why I want to learn it, but I do.

So I've been trying to teach myself for a few months now. I've been using Google (of course), as one source of trying to teach myself, Pinterest is also quite good for like cheat sheets and pinning resources together for future reference, and things I can keep going back to look at. But I've also been using the app Duolingo which is honestly so, so good! It's really helped me with learning some of the basics, I'm no where near any good, at all. But I've got some basic Italian phrases in the bag which is honestly mostly down to the app. It's free and has any language you could ever think of on there.

My goal for the rest of 2019 really is to just keep going at it, keep practising, use anything I can to help me and continue making small progress every week and month until the end of 2019.

8. Blog more!

Finally, my last goal for the end of 2019 is to blog more and be more consistent!

Since re-launching my blog recently, I've tried to make more of an effort to upload a new post weekly, but really I need to be posting at least 2-3 times a week.

However, having said that, I enjoy blogging for my own enjoyment and started blogging again because writing about things I do and enjoy and documenting my life in some way like blogging is something I wanted to do for myself

But of course, I would love my hobby of blogging to become something more and succeed and progress more too. It would really be a dream come true, a win-win situation really!

I'm going to try and make monthly reviews of where I am at with each personal goal I have set out here, and any progress I've made, any setbacks just as a diary and keepsake for myself. A way of looking back and seeing what I did with my time during the last few months of 2019.

Thankyou so much for reading. Be sure to leave me a comment telling me one goal you have for yourself to complete or work towards for the remaining months of 2019.
