New Year 2018: Goals and Resolutions
It's been weeks since the new year 2018 started , but here I am still writing and telling on what exactly my goals are to achieve the entire year. But before anything else, I'd like to greet you SMIBYbies a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Oops! You read it right! From now on, all my valued subscribers, viewers, followers and readers are officially called SMIBYbies (read as SMI-babies).
Now going back to the main topic for this blog which is my New Year 2018: Goals and Resolutions. To be honest, last year 2017 was not a good year for me. It's almost half of it that I've experienced depressing episodes and stressful moments. Most especially, during the last 3 months. I've been preoccupied with variety of things. Too many "what ifs" were on my mind and I've been so lazy too. My relationship with my friends, family, housemates and even in my work place were affected. Luckily, I keep myself back on track before the year ended.
Enough of year 2017 dramas and start the new year right. I and my housemates here in Abu Dhabi celebrated New Year with so much fun. Positive vibes were in our hearts as we ate the foods cooked with effort and love. Newfangled aspirations and resolutions were set as we all hope for our own personal goals for the entire year to be accomplished with ease.
Annually, I've been doing a NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION. As we always believe, NEW YEAR will be NEW LIFE. But for this time, I'll be more detailed about it and hopefully, I'll accomplish it.
HERE's MINE:
*My first goal now is to "Save Money". YES! I must start saving money now. This is my ultimate goal throughout this year. Last year, I've been spending too much to food and shopping but forgot to save. That's one of my regrets though.
Resolution: I'm planning to save at least 500 AED monthly by all means. Above 500 is I guess much better but the least possible must be 500 AED.
*Goal: To "Lose Weight". I didn't check yet my current weight but within a year I gained so much. I often experience body shaming and it makes me fell less confident on myself. Some outfits are not much already with my current body size so I really need to lose some weight.
Resolution: I'll try my very best to have a less carbs on my meal and will try to avoid fast foods as much as I can. Will be drinking more of water now and will lessen my intake of sweets.
*Goal: To "Less Shopping". I include this as part of my first goal which is to save money.
Resolution: Will just buy the needed ones and the super discounted items as much as possible. I'll be more strict on my expenses this time.
*Goal: To "More Industrious". I've been so lazy last year most especially the half way of the year.
Resolution: Will set a schedule per week now. I'll be posting a vlog on my youtube channel every other week as well as writing a blog post every other week as well. I'll do it interchangeably. The first week will be a vlog then the following week will be a blog post.
*Goal: To "Not to overthink". This actually what made me so stressful last year so I'll be more cautious about it.
Resolution: Just simply think well around the box and not to try to over think things out.
*Goal: To "Invest More". The best that I've done last year was to invest in a house and lot. I've started paying it monthly now and can't wait to see it on 2019. Again, it's under part of my first goal. One reason why I wanted to save is to put up a small business in the Philippines. So the best thing to do now is to SAVE MONEY.
*Goal: To "Be Reunited with Family in a vacation". This year is my 4th year in my company so I'll be having free ticket in the Philippines. I am dreaming of treating my family in an out of town/province trip. To have a family get away or just to have a family lunch with parlor games to kids.
*Goal: To "Travel". I want to visit Boracay or Palawan during my vacation. If ever I saved enough money, I also want to explore either Hong Kong, Thailand or visit my friends in Singapore.
*Goal: To "Buy new Furniture for our Family House". I want to change our house's sofa and buy a new divider for our living room.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I WANT TO BE HAPPIER THIS YEAR. I'll be more productive and I'll not forget to smile every day. Positive thinking attracts positive vibes.
At the end of the year, I'll be checking all the things I wrote here and let's see how did I perform throughout the year.
Just a reminder guys, ALWAYS SMILE!!!
Until here,
