New Years : Part Two

Having covered my achievements in the part one post, I now want to set my resolutions. So here goes.

Shave legs more
This one really is more of a symbol of generally making time for myself. This year, especially since going back to college and working, has been so busy and time has ran away with me. More often than I would like I have causally stoked my leg and found that I have become part wookie, this is not ok! I have already tried to put in some affirmative action with my #31in31 make up challenge to ensure I am looking nice everyday of January! 

Be less bitchy
As an offshoot of receiving therapy I am starting to see bits of myself that I am not so mad about. One of these is that I can be a tad bitchy. And, well that's just not very nice. So I am going to make a concerted effort to actually think before I speak! Easier said than done I am sure!

Get a merit on a piece of work
This is quite unusual for me to put it out there, but I really do care about doing well in college. For the most I am grateful with receiving a pass, but it would be flippin' fabulous to get a merit. 

Keep house tidier
Pretty much a mirror of taking care of me. But this also applies to working on my communication with Mr B, and being more forthcoming when I am needing help. No one can do it all, and no one should have to! 

Be more present for Tom 
It's not the first time I have mentioned it but I am very aware of screen time as an issue in my house, I try to monitor it for Tom but am a hypocrite in myself as I am attached to my phone. So changes need to be made ...

Make a realistic blogging schedule 
One of the changes will be structuring blogging, YouTube etc. If I am stricter in when I get things done I think it will be easier for all of us to have set tech free time. Well, I will try! 

Be happy!
'Nuff said!



So there it is, my plan for 2016! I know some of these will be hard and my motivation may be intermittent but at least I have something to aspire to! Have you set any resolutions? I would love to hear from you!

New Years : Part One

My friend on Instagram @30_and_healthy recently posted a list of her achievements in 2015 as a more positive spin on New Years resolutions. I love the concept and have decided to blog both an achievements and resolutions post, to look back on 2015 and forward to 2016!

Achievements 

Started diploma in counselling
I am incredibly proud to be a student and am working towards my dream of being a counsellor. It is difficult to balance work, home and studies but it makes each accomplishment that much better!

Passed first essay
In light of this, I passed my first essay! Horray! Here's hoping the rest will follow suit!

Made friends
This applies to both being on my course and via my blog, YouTube and Instagram! I am starting to feel much more connected to the world and its lovely inhabitants! 

Started therapy
This is a biggie! Personal therapy is a requirement for my course and it is incredibly demanding. But my word, I am so much happier for starting it! I feel like I am more able to freely express myself and understand who I am. I ❤️ Therapy! 

Personal growth and change
As an offshoot of therapy I can see many changes in myself, most of which have taken so much work to facilitate but I am so proud of who I am becoming. 

Raised Tom 
Being a mama is really hard and most of the time you do it with no clue really as to what you are doing! I am so proud of the little man Tom is becoming. 

Started blogging and YouTube 
I have flirted with blogging before but was too shy to take it forward. So to commit and start to blog is huge! I often feel that it's not good enough but I am trying to remember that it's baby steps! I am really looking forward to seeing where blogging and YouTube will take me in 2016! 

Planned Mr B's and Tom's birthday
It's a funny one to end with but their birthdays are a month apart and were both big birthdays so I really put in 100% to both! They both went really well and I have treasured memories! But I am looking forward to a bit of an easier year for the next ones!



Do you have any special achievements for 2015?
