My 2018 Goals

Hey everyone, firstly I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! I have a good feeling about this one...especially after the shit show of 2017. What the fuck was that, universe?!

I've got a few things I'd like to do and achieve this year and I am confident and motivated to do them! Here we go 2018...

Start Yoga

I've wanted to start yoga for a long time now but have either not had the motivation or confidence to do it. I feel like it's going to improve my mental health so much and make me feel so well in general. My best friend Ben gave me such a lovely Christmas present with Yoga Dice so once I start in a class I can then do it at home. It's going to be a big step, to either go alone or with a friend. I'm excited!

Write more

Whether that is on my blog or in a journal, I just want to write. I love writing, it really helps me and is therapeutic. Hence why I tend to always write a long blog post whenever I am really struggling. I've attempted journals for years, I have tonnes of books but this year I am going to write as much as I can, when I can!

Start a Youtube channel

This is something I've wanted to do since I was younger, I attempted it once when I done a vlog about the One Direction premiere and it was fucking tragic. I want to start doing videos talking about mental health, getting it out on a different platform and in a different way. I think it will be helpful for me and for other people too, what do you think?

Stay tidy! 

A tidy room equals a tidy mind if you ask me! My room needs decorating, it hasn't felt quite like home since I moved back into it earlier in the year after leaving the house I was renting with my ex boyfriend. It needs some TLC and I need to look after it more, it's my home after all and where I spend a lot of my time. I want to do it all up, make it tidy and nice and I think my mind will feel fresh because of it!

Say yes to plans 

In 2017 I became nervous whenever plans came about, there was a handful of people I was okay with seeing and that was it. I want to go and see my friends India and Damian more and hang out in their lovely home, I want to see Dans friends more without feeling unnecessarily nervous (anxiety, please suck my dick) and I just want to say yes more! I want to text friends I haven't seen in a while and go for a drink without thinking it's a burden on my day, I just want to enjoy myself again and I am going to. 2018 is the year I become a more confident person.

BE HAPPY

This is my ultimate goal this year and forever on wards. I want to break through my anxiety, depression and whatever the fuck else is going on in my silly head and be the happiest version of me. I have so much going for me, I have the potential to move to a better job, I have amazing friends and family, a lovely boyfriend and inside I have the drive to move forward. I will be happy this year, last year I spent most of the time being sad and worried, not this year, no thank you.

I am excited for what this year has to offer, let's go 2018, let's make it a good one!

Goodbye 2014!

Oh, 2014, don't leave me. This year has been the most mentally challenging year of my life without question, from previous years I didn't think I could get any worse but this year proved me wrong. I have gone on the biggest roller coaster ride of my life, although mentally challenging this year has been the most fun and life changing! 

I've done so much, I've left home, I've learnt how to look after myself, I've travelled from my home to Sheffield, to Reading and London all on my own, I've been to many a gig (mostly 5 Seconds of Summer) and met the Australians lots of times too which of course is always nice.

I wanted to make a post about every single month and everything I've done but that would probably bore you, just know that this year I've done a lot of stuff I never thought I would do. I've grown as a person, I turned 19 and for the first time felt like an adult when it came to me having to buy my own weekly food shopping and having to cook my own dinner. I can't really believe I left home and went to University, I never thought I'd have the guts. 

I have met so many new people and also kept the same old pals. My group of friends from school are still here and we're still going strong, we're going to Scotland next year which will be ace. I've made even more friends through 5 Seconds of Summer which is cute as and then I've made friends from all around the world because of uni, it's quite beautiful.  

I am excited to start 2015 and want to really get better mentally, this year could be even better than 2014 and that is going to be hard to beat. LET'S DO IT. 

Have a happy new year!
