Focusing on 2018.

Monday, 1 January 2018 - 15 comments There's nothing like beginning a New Year with a new perspective and some goals. Hello 2018, let me tell you, you are no different. Setting goals at the beginning of a New Year aren't for everyone. Some people may prefer the option to go with the flow of what a New Year whilst others opt to have some kind of motivation and drive behind making their year the best it can be.

I enjoy setting goals, particularly at the start of a New Year. It feels refreshing, can begin my mindful engine on looking ahead and can help me to be more organised. A lot of the goals this year are geared towards saving but also experiencing. The latter part of my 2017 was filled with dreadful social anxiety which meant I found it difficult to leave home and see friends. I want to change that in 2018 and throw myself back into all the stuff I usually enjoy doing. I want to save a lot more money in 2018, particularly towards a house. Me and Jordan have been living in our rented home for around 2 years and we would like to own our own home ideally by Christmas 2018. I also want to Travel more in 2018, so a girl has got to save. It's easy to spend money on a 'treat' every now and again but I want to put less money into the materialistic things and more into experiences. 2018 will be the year to do that.

With that in mind below are my 2018 Goals, split into the category of Blog Goals as well as personal/life goals. I'd love to hear some of your own goals for 2018.
