My focus this year is about heath, wellbeing and happiness.
I began with “7 things” idea from dayzeroproject.com
Learn to … a new skill or hobby?
Start … develop a habit
Stop … break a habit
Take a holiday to … where you’d most like to go
Find … what are you looking for?
Try … one new thing you want to try
Be more … a personal characteristic to improve
However, I struggled to choose just one for each task so I have selected 18 things.
Learn to …
~ relax
~ take charge of my own happiness
~ become ambidextrous
Start …
~ moving, being more active
~ eating smaller portion sizes
~ eating mindfully
Stop …
~ making excuses about my health and weight
~ making unhealthy food and drink choices
~ overthinking
Take a holiday to …
~ New Zealand
~ Tasmania’s Maria Island
Find …
~ A job that I enjoy which has good work/life balance
~ Inspiring and positive things to read, blogs, books, articles
Try …
~ something new each month to improve my wellbeing
~ floatation tank
Be more …
~ health conscious
~ creative
~ accepting of myself and others
I also want to continue 18 things …
~ connecting with nature each week
~ maintaining strong relationships with family and friends, near and far
~ being the best NanR that I can be
~ taking photos
~ blogging
~ sentence a day
~ photo a day and other weekly photo challenges
~ exploring Tasmania
~ developing new friendships
~ challenging myself
~ paying it forward
~ decorating our driftwood tree
~ trying new things
~ supporting local events
~ enjoying Hobart life
~ walking on the beach regularly
~ knitting and crochet
~ being happy with my life and my choices

Looks like a great list for this year! Oh, and definitely do the floatation tank. My work colleagues gave me a voucher for my birthday and I loved it.

I like your list. If I was to write one, it probably wouldn’t look much different from yours … well, maybe except for the likelihood that I would get to explore NZ or Tasmania any time soon 🙂

Thanks Joanne. They are local holiday ideas for this year. But I definitely felt the need to work on body, mind and soul.

Thanks Jude. Yes I do. I’m still amazed that I live in this place. Miss UK family but so many people I know have family far away. A sign of modern life, I think.

Indeed. There always has to be a compromise. But I think you were right to take up the opportunity to live there. Only wish I could have done, even if just for a few years, though I think I’d struggle with the temperatures on mainland Australia now.

Too true about mainland temps. We won’t be seeing grandson in Sydney for a few months now.

My son said that they are into the hottest 8 weeks in Perth right now. Not so great for an Irish Kiwi and the red-headed grandson.

Great list of goals to achieve Ruth. It’s very inspiring. I’m not quite that methodical about it, but get the idea. I wish you the best with that, and look forward to your updating us along the way. I am also glad to see you wish to keep a number of existing activities in amongst things that are new. Den xx

You know, pretty much all of that can be encapsulated in your last entry “being happy with my life and my choices”. 🙂 At the end of the day our choices are what dictates how we feel, mostly.

Oh, I do like your list. I have been more active this year so far but sad to say it is because I’ve been eating out more often. 🙂 I have a ways to go.
