The Begnning Of New Year

On 01/01/2014 at 11:04 PM by Nicoleb1989

So its officially 2014, the start of a New Year which hopefully will bring new changes and positive times. Im aiming to actually complete my goals this year, each year I seemingly only accomplish surviving another year. That in itself is a pretty big accomplishment but I wanna achieve more than that at the end of each year.

This year im truely gonna aim to make my goals and take the proper steps to accomplish them. I normally give up half way but I must trudge on no matter what. I have 3 big ones for me this year. My 3 big goals to achieve are:

1. Losing Weight

My weight issue has been the most hardest drag on problem. I wanna lose weight dont get me wrong, its jsut the biggest trial of my life. I once lost 80 pounds and weighed between 135 and 125. I currently need to lose around 120 pounds to be at a healthy weight. This year Im gonna give it the most best effort and not give in, I refuse to give in!

2. Reading

I always set a reading goal, Im on Goodreads and they have a reading challenge you can do. I every year put in to read 50 books but I never reach it. I did reach 20 in 2013. So for this year instead of 50, I decided to try for 30 instead. If I read around 2 to 3 books a month by December 2014 Ill reach my goal! Im starting this challenge with The Chronicles of Malus Darkblade Vol. 1 by Dan Abnett and Mike Lee.

3. Blogging

I want to aim to blog more, recently I have been slipping. Life has played a part in it but still, I need to keep up with my blogging. Ive been stating ill post my Rune Factory 4 review and it never shows up. Im still aiming to post, its not forgotten! Im gonna shot to post atleast 2 blogs a week this year.

I have others of smaller aims of course but these main 3 are my biggest focus. Lets make the best of 2014 yall!

Thank you and happy new year! Thats a great way to do theyear, I just feel for once I need to fill some accompishment this year. Especially since Im turning 25 come September and I havent barely at all done any goals I had set for reaching my mid twenties. I feel though if I achieve these 3, it might just make me feel better.

I know what you mean. I am not at all where I thought I'd be at my age. Achieving goals really does help, though. I think the key is to not compare yourself to anyone but yourself. That way you don't start thinking "oh, if only I were like this person," you just know that you improved, which is what matters, and that way you can stay positive and keep at it.

At least, that's the perspective I am going to try living with, and I think it sounds like it'll work. Everyone is different, though, so do what works for you.

I'm with you on reading more, except I don't think I could hit 30 or 50 books in a year, but I do like Goodreads because seeing what friends are reading is always interesting. I think I'll start my reading before the weekend but I'm also still working on Book 1 of Game of Thrones.

I read 20 this last year so I decided to tack on 10 more for an extra reach. I love goodreads, its another home for me like pixlbit is. Its just my home for me reading side,lol. I plan to read the Game of Thrones series eventually. I heard mixed things about it but I wanna give it my own try.

I discovered Goodreads this year and use it all the time. Maybe we could create a Pixlbit Goodreads group or something? That would be cool.

This should be done good sir! Would you like to create it since it was your amazing idea!

01/03/2014 at 12:57 PM

I'll look into it.

Good luck with your goals! I need to read more as well. I've done a lot of it since Thanksgiving so I plan to keep it up. I keep finding cheap offers on e-books, too, so they're not going to read themselves.
