  • Morning everyone!


    I'm super on it today - I've been listening to motivational songs on Spot!fy all morning (included in my phone contract) and its got me going! I highly recommend downloading some audiobooks/listening to podcasts/reading books on motivation, they honestly do work. Its got me thinking about all my goals that I want in life, so here I am, ready to plan them out.


    FINANCIAL
    - Become debt free by December 2018
    - Save for my wedding with absolutely nothing on credit.
    - Remortgage house in Dec 2020 for house renovations but save £5,000 minimum.
    - Save for maternity leave/childcare so I don't result to CC.
    - Set up a savings account for child to help through Uni/Car/Travel/Life
    - Maximise mine and the BF pensions
    - Invest a portion of our income (need to research properly)
    - Overpay mortgage and become mortgage free by the time I'm 45.
    - Save for a campervan with putting absolutely nothing on credit.
    - Become financially independent/retire/semi-retire at 55.


    HEALTH
    - Lose 14 pounds by the end of December 2018
    - Lose 3 and a half stone overall by December 2019
    - Once a significant amount of weight is lost, go back to adult gymnastics
    - Complete a half marathon
    - Have a healthy, balanced diet that comes naturally to me


    CAREER
    - Be promoted at work by mid 2019
    - Use every free opportunity available at work to my benefit e.g, part time degree, language classes
    - Network more and get stuck in
    - Stay on top of work load at all times so I am available to help others
    - Create side business with OH that we have been planning/talking about for months now that will run itself while we sleep.


    HOBBY(WRITING/READING)
    - Finish novel I am currently writing
    - Setup website/blog
    - Increase followers on IG by 5% per month for the rest of 2018
    - Write poems that have been inside my head for years


    PERSONAL
    - Work on all my relationships with friends/family and remember to let grudges go. Life's too short!
    - Get myself into a position where I have the time/money to GIVE BACK.


    Sorry for the huge essay! It's nice to get it all written down. I needed this kick up the butt!


    Happy Wednesday! :j
