The clock has struck twelve, the ball has been dropped, and 2018 is finally here. I've never really been one for New Year's resolutions, but I do have a lot of hopes for this year. Thanks to this handy little find by blogger Anuschka Rees I've got a pretty good idea of exactly what I want. I highly recommend that everyone take some time to ponder over their successes from the past year and use those to guide them toward accomplishing their goals for this year.
What do you want the overarching theme for your 2018 to be?
Free From Fear
What do you want to see, discover, explore?
This year is unique in that the first half of it is me finishing school and the latter is me adjusting to adulthood and being out on my own. As comfortable as it is being a homebody, I want to break out of my shell a bit and actually go, you know, out. It could be making a weekend trip to the city or maybe just bouncing around to different local haunts.
Who do you want to spend more time with in 2018?
Of course, my friends because soon we’ll be going off in different directions, but mainly want to spend more time with family. In the past, I’ve let work and assignments come before going home for a weekend and being with them. To nip the workaholic feels in the bud, I’d like to plan to come home every other weekend.
What skills do you want to learn, improve, or master?
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to learn to play guitar and I am so determined to make 2018 the year I finally do it. I’ve also got some opportunities coming up that will further strengthen my writing skills that I’m really excited about.
Which personality quality do you want to develop or strengthen?
I want to maintain my newfound optimism and continue to learn to love my flaws.
What do you want your everyday life to be like?
Waking up in the morning, I want to affirm it in my mind that I have the power to make that day a good day, that I’m doing my very best, and that the struggle (college) is almost over.
Which habits do you want to change, cultivate, or get rid of?
I’d started doing this towards the end of 2017, but I want to maintain a bedtime regimen that ensures that I get at least eight hours of sleep every night.
What do you want to achieve career-wise?
I just want to be able to make money doing what I love and show people how determined, enthusiastic, and great and I am at what I do.
How do you want to remember the year 2018 when you look back on it 20 years from now?
I want to look back on it and know that I did absolutely everything in my power to better myself.
