2013 hopes and dreams

I decided that I want 2013 to be a more positive and happy year, because I think that’s the least I deserve after my not so good year last year. This year there are multiple things that I want to try to achieve. I’ve never been good at keeping new years resolutions so I’m hoping by saying that these things are what I what to achieve for myself this year instead of saying that they are a goal that I have to reach.

u Believing in myself  u

It takes quiet a lot for me to believe in myself. I tend to not believe that I can’t do things and depending on the task at hand I can give up quiet easily without giving it my best shot. This is something I want to change. I want to say, “Yes I can do this, it may not be my best, but I will be happy with the outcome.”

u Stop saying no, say yes to life u

For many years now if I didn’t feel comfortable or like the idea of doing something then I wouldn’t do it and I’d make up some lie saying why I couldn’t go and do something. This year being my first year of university I’m going to be pushed out of my comfort zone and I need to accept this. I need to say yes to every opportunity that arises.

u Licence  u

I want to try get my licence this year, which means I have to learn manual and get my hours up, which is going to take a lot of time and effort but it will be good because it means I can help mum out with taking the boys places.

u Travel as much as possible  u

I want to travel this year. I’m taking a small trip up to Queensland to visit my dad for ten days, just to wind down before I need to get my mind set into university. Hopefully if I save enough money I will go to London in June/July and other parts of Europe for just a quick stop. However, this all depends on university and if I get the opportunity to go on a design trip overseas this year. If that is the case, look out London I’m coming for ya!

u Be healthier  u

Now I’m not an unhealthy person, I don’t have junk food every week or takeaway or anything like that. I want to drink more water this year because that is something that I’m not really good at. I also want to make sure that I don’t just take the easy option when I’m at university and get hot chips, I will try and get a sandwich. The healthier option!

u Putting myself first u

I have a bad habit of putting other people first in certain situations. I have had enough of this because I am important and I need to look after myself. I will speak my mind, or try to..  

u Do well at University  u

This is just a small one but I want to do well at university. I want to be proud of my marks and the work that I produce. I also  want to make more friends and this will come from pushing myself out of my own little box.

u  BE HAPPY u

Last but not least, I want to be happy. I don’t want to dwell on the smaller things in life, the things that don’t really matter and shouldn’t affect me. I want to smile more and not have to lie and say I’m okay when deep down I know I’m really not. I will be happy this year because the year is my year to take on the world.
