Review Goals Monthly

Eep, I’m a couple of days late with last month’s review – but like they say, better late than never!

1. figure out my future – at least certain plans are in motion and if everything goes well, the next three years of my life will be set some time next year! How exciting

2. figure myself out – although I still get the blues, but less frequently. Nevertheless, I’ve got so much to learn about myself still, especially now that I’m in a relationship, so many things I need to pay more attention to!

3. love – still, and growing stronger ♥

4. find my passion – I’ve been rekindling my love for writing and it’s going rather well, I should never stray too far away from words

5. be more aware – small steps, small steps

6. go back to school – got applications sent out, and have received two offers already, three to go still!

7. take better care of myself – have started taking iron supplements and calcium tablets again, I’ve been very tired lately…

8. increase my energy level – like said above, taking iron supplements, hope that helps, should also get an exercise routine going on and start stretching

9. try new things – very quiet on this front for some reason

10. know what I want and settle for nothing else – hmm…

11. let go – still carrying some excess package

12. see the world – hopefully in the future, right now not possible

13. procrastinate less – ack, why is this so hard?

14. write more – I’m actually proud of myself how well I’m doing with this. It’s early days but writing feels so good

15. get a tattoo – money is a huge issue at the moment

16. enjoy my job – as Christmas approaches I’m definitely not looking forward to busier days, but we’ll be getting season workers and that’s always nice, I like new people!

17. have a big tea collection – no changes here, really

18. post random thoughts – when I feel like it, I guess?

19. decorate my apartment – :DD I should just take pictures of my apartment to get this off my list finally

20. review goals monthly – yup!

21. create – I’m getting there!

22. sparkle and shine – more or less :)

23. upgrade my wardrobe – slowly but steadily

24. learn to use my camera – I need to take some time and read the instructions and just fiddle with the camera. Love the awesome quality of the photos, though!

The only thing I completed in October was fall in love and that wasn’t even on my list! Oh well, perhaps I’ll do better this month. My list has been quite immobile for a very long time now. Should get cracking, perhaps?

Wow, September is coming to an end, and the days have disappeared so quickly. I can’t believe it’s October next month!

1. figure out my future – there is a path awaiting, and hopefully soon I will be ready to begin the journey

2. figure myself out – I should really write an entry under this goal, for I have made some progress

3. love – it is relatively easier to do this now that there is someone to share all that love with

4. find my passion – perhaps soon, after this stressful and hectic phase, I’ll have more time to concentrate on this

5. be more aware – a work in progress

6. go back to school – plans, plans, plans…

7. take better care of myself – I truly have been neglecting myself, once I’m cured from this illness that has me bound in my bed, I’ll change my ways!

8. increase my energy level – no change, sadly

9. try new things – this month has been very quiet, I’ve been busy with other things, so hopefully next month!

10. know what I want and settle for nothing else – hmmhmm

11. let go – this goal is mostly here to remind me to not let every small thing get to me

12. see the world – not really going anywhere with this, but hopefully in the future

13. procrastinate less – ahhahaa :’D and what am I doing at the moment again?

14. write more – this is something I truly need to concentrate more on as soon as possible, I’m so very rusty. I should probably start writing a blog again…

15. get a tattoo – this will have to wait but I’m getting there one day

16. enjoy my job – this month has been rather difficult, my motivation has been quite low and my thoughts somewhere else – not really that difficult to guess where, right?

17. have a big tea collection – as winter approaches, this goal will hopefully get more attention from me

18. post random thoughts – doing okay, I think?

19. decorate my apartment – yes yes, I still need to take pictures!

20. review goals monthly – yup

21. create – nothing yet but I feel ideas bubbling, soon…

22. sparkle and shine – this is a new goal, added to remind me to live life to the fullest and always favour actions that’ll help me reach my full potential, also so that I’ll remember that I’m wonderful and precious and deserving of love and appreciation.

1. increase my energy level - now that holidays are over it’s time to get back to the routine of eating well (enough vegetables!) and exercising. Oh, and stretching!

2. figure myself out - in terms of knowing myself, I’ve still got a long way to go but I feel confident I’ll get there one day

3. take better care of myself - see number 1

4. find my passion - this still needs work and concentration

5. figure out my future - well, I don’t really know anything about my future, but I do know who I want to be included in it!

6. go back to school - as soon as possible!

7. try new things - I went on a holiday alone for the first time in August, I was adventurous and stayed in London for a few extra days with a boy I had only met there… I fell in love?

8. let go - doing better, I think

9. know what I want and settle for nothing else - haven’t really thought about this lately

10. see the world - Dublin and London!

11. procrastinate less - yeah, no. Must really get my act together now

12. write more - I need to start doing this again

13. get a tattoo - when I have enough money again

14. start sewing again - sometimes this feels to tiresome because I have to go to my parents’ place to do this

15. enjoy my job - hopefully I still do after being away for two and a half weeks

16. have a big tea collection - haven’t bought new teas in ages!

17. post random thoughts - sometimes?

18. decorate my apartment - right, I should clean up this place and take pictures, just to get this off my list

19. organize my music - aaah, no.

20. see Cirque du Soleil - in a couple of weeks!

21. review goals monthly - doing well?

22. create - well, I still haven’t decided what this means for me, but I’ll figure it out eventually

Almost forgot – completed:

- stay single (♥)
- make sure that Maxime has a fantabulously superrific first trip to Europe in August 2009!
- go on holiday alone (even though technically it wasn’t on my list)

is a good day to look back on July.

1. increase my energy level : I haven’t done much anything to be honest, but I do feel a little more alert and I don’t get tired as easily as before – what has changed, I’m not sure, I’ve started to eat more vegetables?

2. figure myself out : well, I’m having one of those clear moments when I’m just content to be me, with all my flaws and everything

3. stay single :this entry pretty much sums it up

4. take better care of myself : I’m ashamed to admit, but I almost started smoking again – but I came to my senses and quit! I should exercise more

5. find my passion : I should just concentrate on this one evening and I’m sure I could figure out something

6. figure out my future : NEW – well, it would be nice, wouldn’t it? I’d just want to be sure about something big… like school or my living situation or—

7. go back to school : I’m slowly going through different schools and what they have to offer. But it’s difficult when you have no idea what you’d like to study!

8. try new things : Ah, pretty quiet on this front. I made out with an Australian guy (who trains dolphins in London, btw, does that count?)? :D

9. let go : haven’t really done anything about this so…

10. know what I want and settle for nothing else : bits and pieces

11. see the world : Dublin and London this month!

12. procrastinate less : honestly? I never even remember having this goal on my list :D But perhaps one day…

13. write more : ah, I’ve been slacking so much with this. I just can’t seem to find anything to write about?

14. get a tattoo : I have a few ideas but this will have to wait till autumn

15. start sewing again : I actually have a piece of fabric waiting for me at my parents’ place, I should do something about it

16. enjoy my job : lately not too much but my holiday is only two weeks away!

17. have a big tea collection : I don’t have enough room :(

18. post random thoughts : yup, sometimes?

19. decorate my apartment : I’m finished, I’m just too lazy to take pictures :D

20. organize my music : oh, no.

21. see Cirque du Soleil : in September! (still)

22. review goals monthly : second time already!

23. make sure that Maxime has a fantabulously superrific first trip to Europe in August 2009! : eep! Yeah we’ll have fun :)

24. create : NEW – this goal is great, I’m quite excited! I have no idea what I’m going to do with it, but I guess we’ll see :)

Humhum, this goal has been quite successfully neglected ever since I added it to my list. Not anymore! Now, ahem.

1. increase my energy level : I’m not quite as tired any more, but I should spend a lot more time outdoors.

2. figure myself out : confused

3. take better care of myself : like I already said, I should get more fresh air and exercise more, I’d say I eat well enough

4. find my passion : I’ve felt rather passionate about a couple of things recently but I’m not too sure…

5. go back to school : been thinking about this a lot, I’m pretty confident next year is the year

6. try new things : sadly, nothing new

7. let go : no, still clinging on to certain things

8. stay single : men are difficult and I change so much when there are men present, all the attention, I had hoped I had gotten over it already but no, still a lot to be learnt

9. know what I want and settle for nothing else : no, not yet, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately

10. see the world : hopefully this August!

11. procrastinate less : ...

12. write more : a bit more!

13. get a tattoo : going to wait till autumn, still a bit indecisive what to get first

14. start sewing again : I’ve tried… and damn, I need practice

15. enjoy my job : I’ve had this current job for 10 months now, and still going relatively strong

16. have a big tea collection : not too much room right now

17. post random thoughts : been writing less here because I’m trying to reawaken the blogger in me

18. decorate my apartment : everything’s more or less finished, I just need to clean up this place before I can share pictures

19. organize my music : it never ends??!

20. see Cirque du Soleil : in September ♥_♥

21. review goals monthly : erm…

22. make sure that Maxime has a fantabulously superrific first trip to Europe in August 2009! : hopefully! :)

4. Try new things – Quiet, the only ‘new’ thing I’ve done recently was when I went to see a 3-D movie.
