With 2019 coming to a close, I thought I would reflect on this year and all that I've managed to achieve over the last twelve months. Using my previous New Years Resolutions as a reference, here are my thoughts on how I've worked towards them this year:
1. Acceptance - I challenged myself to try and accept who I am as a result of my illness and to accept that while I may not experience life in the same way as other people, it's okay. And, in all honesty, I think I am getting closer to that and I'm enjoying life more than I did at the beginning of the year.
2. To Read More - While I haven't read as much as those big book bloggers out there, I'm still proud of what I've achieved and I've even explored different genres this year.
3. To Challenge Myself - Tick! I've recently started getting back into driving lessons, which is huge for me!
4. To Bullet Journal - This one started well, but after a few months in, I lost my creative streak and haven't continued with it for quite a while now.
5. To get to know you - I'm quite happy with this one. I've had some brilliant conversations with you, had a few comments on my blog and have more views than last year - thank you! <3
6. Allow you to get to know me - I hope some of you have gotten to know me a little better over the past year. I've done a couple of 'Tag' and 'Get To Know Me' posts, if you're interested ;) And you're always welcome to comment, chat or interact with me here or on social media - I don't bite!
7. To say yes! - This one has also been quite successful, I've started driving lessons and gained more skills through work.
8. To be consistent - I really wanted to increase my consistency with my weekly posts, and it's certainly gone much better than last year - however there could still be some improvement. For some reason, I always seem to find it difficult to write new content around Christmas.
9. To forgive - I wanted to forgive myself when things don't go to plan or if I don't reach my goals, and this has gone quite well also.
10. To continue - For this one, I aimed to continue with a task once a started it. Primarily, this blog. And I think it's been fair to say that it's been a good year, while not perfect and there's always room for improvement, I am happy with how my blogging progress have been in the last twelve months.
