1 - Sort out my relationship, either be happy with my lot or find the courage to end it.
2 - Sort out my career, either apply for other jobs or commit to childminding full time.
3 - Do something with my music to get my confidence up - join a choir.
4 - Once confidence is up - go busking.
5 - Be more active with friendships, by making new ones and sustaining old ones.

Thanks for the thread, I too was hoping someone would start one.

Personal:

Keep dad and sister out of my life.
Sort flat - get it decorated and carpeted and everything unpacked.
Stop making inappropriate disclosures.

Professional:

Tout the play I've written around everywhere that accepts them, until I either run out of places or get it accepted.

Write another play (or novel or screenplay, I haven't decided my next big project yet).

Write all the short stories I've got rattling around my head, and submit at least two a month to competitions or submission calls.

Build my twitter presence.

Fill as many textbroker assignments as I can and get my rating up.

Return to uni in September after a two year gap due to personal issues.

Health:

Do at least 15 mins of pilates a night for a few months then up it to 30 mins. Aim to be able to take up beginners yoga by autumn.

Eat healthier.

Binge less, hopefully once a week at most.

Change GP surgery.

Lose 50lbs.

Excellent idea for a thread!

My aims for 2015:

• Healthy packed lunches at least four days a week.
• Finish a 5k run in under 25 minutes.
• Go on at least one family holiday.
• De-clutter the room of doom.
• Finish work on the garden.
• Devise and follow a photo backup process.
• Meet our MFiT3 target and end the year mortgage neutral.
• Increase self employment earnings without impacting quality family time (work smarter not longer).
• Investigate ways of making money through writing.
• Keep working towards financial independence, end the year with a nice increase to financial net worth.

I already did my list on the previous page but I've thought of a few more things to add:
-Learn to drive
-Get up earlier on work days so I'm not always running late
-Exercise at least four mornings a week
-Get a new tattoo


And my final one, try to do something kind for someone else every day.

System

-Pay off at least 1/3 of the overdraft
-Have a new (hopefully full time) job
-Be in the position to rent my own place
-Still be happy in my relationship
-Have lost enough weight to feel comfortable
-Get the tattoo i've been wanting for ages
-stop self harming (i realise this is a bit of a touchy one but i really want to try and not do it again if i can)
-Do race for life again and beat last years time!

Great thread.

Mine are

- Do yoga on a daily basis (if only 5 - 10 minutes). Classes twice a week. (Body Balance classes count too.)
- Keep up the mindfulness practice.
- Spend more time developing friendships.
- Spend more time on hobbies, and less time idling about.
- Continue to recover. To not expect miracles. To be honest with myself about what I can do.
- Ditch the perfectionism attitude.
- Find a partner.
- Be content.

I've not done one of these before so why not!

Goals for the end of 2015 are:

- Get my weight down to between 11st 7lbs and 12st and keep it there
- Set up my garage-gym and use it 3 times a week
- Carry on trimming our finances so that there's a healthy net gain at the end of each month
- Still be cancer free, managed it for nearly 3 years now and long may that continue!

Oh just thought of yet another resolution I forgot to put on my list, and it's possibly the most important one of all:
Go for my first smear test. I've been putting it off since I turned 25 (27 now) and know I need to get it done, as scary as the thought of it is.
