Even though it's a day late, it's time to keep with tradition and post my New Years List. On New Years Eve was really nervous and anxious. 2010 had been very good to me, and I was a little (read a lot ) scared about the old, 'What goes up, must come down' thing. Unfortunately one of my biggest flaws is that I fear change like nothing else. I'm very good at dealing and coping once it's happened, but it's the fear of the unknown and the unpredictable nature of change that frightens the hell out of me. I've been that way since I was little kid according to my folks. Anyway, so I'm crossing my fingers that 2011 will also hold some golden gems for me like 2010 did.
I would like to be able to tell you that in the past year I...
- Moved back to Sydney
- Worked out everyday
- Lived and breathed confidence
- Paid off all my credit cards
- Travelled overseas
- Wrote a book
- Maintained balance and order in my life
Instead, I have to tell you that in the past year I...
- I got a job despite the odds of finding one in this town - but I still live with my folks
- Managed to loose 8kilos (but I put on 2kilos due to holiday food and slacking off)
- Have not made a dent in my credit card debt - but have plans to get a loan that will allow me to throw the credit card with 24.7% interest charge in the bin! A loan with 2% interest in much easier to manage.
- I worked out sporadically
- I stood up for myself when normally I would run and cry, I put my heart on the line in regard to a new relationship and despite the fact that it failed I feel like a better person for it.
- I finally finished PitN - yeeeehhhaaaaa!
- Made new friends
- I am no longer addicted to twitter or fb
- Have started to work at balance
However, in the past year I also...
- I started working on an original piece of writing
- Laughed, cried, and made hard decisions
- Travelled to Sydney a lot
- Learnt more about myself and have slowly started to accept my flaws
- Conquered the fear of falling in love
In the next year, I am hoping to...
- Move back to the coast - it doesn't have to be Sydney, but back by the beach near family is a number one priority
- Loose 10 more kilos!
- Score a job that I enjoy and pays well for once!
- Have completed my original piece of writing
- Be more considerate and give more to charity
- Remain diligent in my quest to eat better and live better
- Get rid of my credit cards!!!
- Believe in myself, forgive myself and stop putting everything off for later
- Consistently work out!
- Travel - somewhere in Australia or overseas, somewhere I haven't been before
- Write consistently in my journal - not just once every couple of months
- Read more/ Write more.
- Make wiser choices with money
- Love and trust more people and bring more of my shields down
- Participate more in my friends lives; but don't get taken advantage of by those with selfish intentions.
- Be in an adult relationship that last's longer than a week
- Be patient and organized
- Worry less about what people think about me
new years res,
