It is officially the first day of 2019, and wow, did 2018 go quick or did 2018 go QUICK?! I'm so grateful to be stepping into 2019, a new year and a fresh start! 2018 was a year of many struggles and it was the toughest year of many tough years I've had, so to be able to go forward into a new year and not look back at the past year, I couldn't ask for anything more. 

Every single year I think of New Year's Resolutions but let's be honest, who actually sticks to these resolutions because I never have. Instead I like to think about goals, how I can reach these goals and what I'm going to do to get there which makes these "resolutions" possible. 

In 2018 I;

- Finished university.

- Left my job I'd been at for 5 years.

- Was promoted within my Summer/half term job to a manager.

- Graduated with a first class honours.

- Started my new job.

- Joined the gym, went everyday for two months straight and then quit six months later.

But;

- I realised I needed to seek help for mental health.

- I started seeking help for ME/Chronic Fatigue.

- I started Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

- I didn't go ahead with my plans for teacher training in September 2019.

- My mental health has struggled severely throughout this year.

I've been thinking a lot lately about what my goals are for 2019 and what I really want to achieve and accomplish in 2019 and what I think I can properly achieve if I put my mind and belief into something. I do this by looking at what I'm starting or doing throughout the year and I what else I want to gain. 

In 2019;

- I am starting a masters degree in Early Childhood Studies.

- I am starting my final year of teacher training.

- I am working full time in a job I absolutely love.

- I am continuing my Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

- I hope to finally have some answers about my ME/Chronic Fatigue.

- I am joining the gym again.

Although...

In 2019 my goals are;

- To start riding my bike on a regular basis.

- To think about training for the London Marathon 2020.

- To work on self care and loving myself.

- To use my blog and social media as an outlet again (2018 was definitely not my year).

- To read everyday. 

- To work on improving my mental health. 

- To stop caring so much/being so sensitive.

My goals are varied, although with what I have planned for 2019 I know if I put my mind to it I can achieve anything.

What are your goals for 2019? 

I wish you the happiest New Year.

I'll see you soon
