After 2016, I am very excited to move into 2017. I have a lot of stuff planned and I have identified the aspects of my life that I want to change. Today I thought I would share with you all that is happening because I am very excited! Last year I found that by telling you my resolutions, I wanted to try and achieve them even more!
Last year my resolutions were:
Goals for me
- Be fitter - I tried to do this and feel like I succeeded!
- Accept myself for who I am - I'm still working on this but self-love can take a long time.
- Accept people for who they are - Almost done
- Keep my memory jar + book for the whole year - Half completed, I kept my memory jar but not my book.
Goals for my blog
- Produce better quality posts and pictures. - I feel like I achieved this
- 2k on Instagram - Not achieved, I reached 1300 followers.
As I went through 2016, my aspirations changed, which is why I didn't try as hard for some of them. For example, I started to not care about how many followers I had on Instagram so I didn't try to gain any. For 2017 I have decided my resolutions are going to be:
Goals for me
- Spend more time with my friends
- Stop drinking fizzy drinks
- Read at least 10 books
- Post at least 6 times a month
- Become more active in the blogging community (through twitter chats etc.)
- Reach 22,000 page views.
The most noticeable change is my blog layout! Over the Christmas break, I downloaded a blogging template and made my changes on it. I love this design and even though it was a pre-made template, I have customised it so that it reflects me. I will stick to the same schedule as last year, which is posting every Tuesday and Saturday at 5pm.
At the start, I mentioned that a few exciting things were happening! On Christmas day, me and my brother found out that we are going to Florida in April! I am really looking forward to it as it is my first time going to America and my first long haul flight. I am also extremely fortunate to be going to be China with my school in July! 2017 is definitely going to be a year of fulfilling my wanderlust. Look forward to loads of travel posts in the upcoming year!
Do you have resolutions? What are they?
