2023 Goals

Its 2023 which means it’s time for another yearly goals post. I’ve done this every year for a while now, and it’s interesting to be able to look back and see what I was focusing on at the time. I never used to enjoy setting goals, as I thought I was setting myself up for failure. I mean why set goals, if you’re not going to achieve them? However in 2022 especially, something changed. I realised that it’s ok not to hit every single goal. Life happens and even if the progress is small; it’s still progress.

These are my 2023 Goals.

Live Within My Means

This one is pretty much: ‘Get Better at Saving Money’. From last year, just with a fancy new name. It is also cheating slightly, as I do live within my means, I just want to get better at it. It’d be nice to get to the end of the month without having to panic about how much is in my account. Which means I could do with cutting back in other areas… especially whilst the cost of everything is rising like it is.

Get Back into Health and Fitness 

Would it really be a yearly goals post without this one making an appearance? I think not. I’m pretty sure this has made the list every year, and to be fair that probably won’t change any time soon. As I’m getting married in 2024, I want to slim down and feel my best. Which means I feel more motivated than ever to do it.

Take More Photos

Towards the end of 2022 I realised that I had practically no photos from the year. It made me quite sad, as I don’t have many pregnancy photos to look back on. For example, I didn’t document the size of my bump, which would have been really nice to look back on. This year I want to take more photos and make sure that I’m in them too.

Step Outside of my Comfort Zone

I feel like I was doing well with this one, but towards the end of 2022 I started to feel a lot more anxious. Even the thought of having to socialise was enough, and I didn’t want to leave the house. It’s a headspace that I really don’t want to get back into, so I know I need to push myself through it.

Create Content That I Enjoy

I don’t want this to sound like I’ve been creating content that I don’t enjoy, as I haven’t. Instead of forcing myself to create content, I stopped altogether. As you can tell from how quiet things have been over here and on my Instagram account. It feels silly that my Instagram finally took off, and I’ve decide to change what I’m doing, but it stopped making me happy. Which means something has to change.

Declutter and Organise

For someone who doesn’t like having a lot of stuff, it sure feels like I’ve got a lot of it. It doesn’t help that our house doesn’t have that much storage space, so it’s hard to find places to go. However I started a little declutter a few days ago and found plenty of things that I don’t need to be keeping hold of, which inspired me to want to do more of it.

Take Each Day as it Comes

As I write this post I’m currently 40 weeks pregnant, expecting my first baby. It’s crazy to think that this time next year, I’ll have a baby who is nearly one years old. As I’m not quite sure what to expect, I don’t want to put any unneeded pressure on myself. I just want to take each day as it comes, and enjoy it. It’s going to be one hell of a journey, but I can’t wait to see how it works out.

There we have it, those are my 2023 goals.

Have you set yourself goals for the year?
