Hey Guys,
Just over a month ago I posted this post about deciding to
set myself goals in order to re motivate myself and improve my mental
wellbeing.
So I thought I would share with you how I got on with the
goals.
Relax
– During the month I allocated myself to complete these goals I was on holiday
for two weeks where I did nothing but relax and it was fantastic. However when
I came I made a promise to myself that I would try and relax more at home. A
happy Jessica equals a happy world J so this
goal is still a work in progress.
Spend
some quality time with Stuart – This was goal was fully managed and me and Stuart
managed to spend lots of time together, this is going to be a running goal that
is always going to be in the back of my mind.
Be
more organised – This goal was forced upon me as I had to organise my bedroom
as I have been getting a new double bed so I decided to sort out my whole room.
And I definitely feel better for it, I now feel loads calmer when I walk in my
room and there is not clutter everywhere!
Improve
my skin care routine – This was another goal that I half completed, while I was
on holiday I really looked after my skin. Making sure it was protected during
the day and cleansed on a night. However since I have come back I have only
managed to do it a couple of nights, but it is definitely improving!
Get
to the gym – I am now in a regular routine of going to the gym at least once a
week, a few more of my friends have joined the same gym as me so we are all motivating
each other.
Eat
better – My diet has definitely improved because I am now also attending the
gym regularly. I mean there is no point in sweating it out at the gym and
coming home and scoffing a huge Chinese is there? I still do have the odd
takeaway but its the everything in moderation rule that works for me. If I have
a Chinese than ill be really good the next day.
Read
– Before my holidays I managed to read the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy, ooh
err. I really enjoyed those books, to anyone who hasn’t read them I promise
they are just about the filthy stuff, the love story and background of the two
main characters is beautiful. Whilst on my holidays I managed to read The
Charming Man by Marian Keyes and The Book of Tomorrow by Cecelia Ahern, book
great books by the way. I have also purchased the first in both the Twilight
and Hunger Games books as well as Stephen King’s 11/22/63. I am actively going
to try and find time to make sure I read these!
I don’t know if this is something that I will continue with
every month, but it certainly got me out of the rut that I was stuck in. If I
am ever feeling like that again it’s something I will use to pick myself up.
What do you think? Do you think this is a good idea? Have
you tried it?

Yeah, I really think so! Because its out there for everyone to see, so it makes you want do your best and it's a good way of making you really think about the things that matter the most to you and how you can improve them.
DeleteI think even if you don't do them in your blog it's worth writing them down somewhere :) because I always find if I make lists or write things down that I tend to stick to them more, weird I know?!
