Are you somebody that sets themselves New Years Resolutions? I often make a few, stick to them for a week or so and then revert back to my old habits and I know I'm not alone in this, we're all just as guilty as each other, aren't we?!
Instead, what I have been doing is setting myself a few goals for the year. These are things I want to try and do over time, but there's no real consequence if I don't. I haven't 'failed' if I haven't done them, they're just things that I'd love to make happen in the year ahead. I posted my 9 goals for 2019 on my blog last year so I figured I'd update you with my plans for 2020.
Start A Career
2019 saw me graduate university, do some paid work for the university and start a job at a local social media agency. I have since left that job (which was absolutely for the best) and am now back on the job hunt. Hence, my main goal for 2020 is to start a career. I'm not entirely sure what I want to do or which sector I even want to work in so this could be a challenge and a half... If anyone has any ideas of careers they think I'd be good at, write them on a postcard and send them my way, this gal needs all the help she can get!Run A 10K
This was on my list of 2019 goals and it was one that absolutely didn't materialize. I mean, I ran a few 5Ks but didn't ever run anywhere near 10K. For me to actually complete this goal I think I'm going to need to book one. Buy a place in a race over the summer and work towards it. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like to waste money so the financial side alone (hopefully) should be enough to persuade me to get training.Save, Save, Save
Now that I'm a proper adult and out of university it's about time I start with the hardcore saving, right? I mean, I'd much rather save for some incredible trips and traveling than a house deposit, but saving is saving. I've always been fairly good with money but now that I'll be receiving regular paychecks there is no excuse not to be putting it away.
Hit 5K on Instagram
Yes, I know it's not alllll about the numbers but I'd love to hit 5K on Instagram this year. I love taking photos and creating content, and I'd love for lots more people to be able to see the images I create. So, on that note, if anyone doesn't already follow me on Instagram and would like to you can do so here.Cut My Meat Consumption
I'm not sure this one needs any explanation. I've already cut cows milk out of my diet and opt for soya or oat where I can, but meat is still something I find myself eating fairly regularly. For a while, in 2019, my family and I would have meat-free Mondays but this is something that slowly fizzled out... So, in 2020 I'm going to bring that back and opt for way more veggie options day to day.
I tried the new KFC Vegan Burger the day it launched and would absolutely have it again, so that's a start! Like with any diet or new habit, you're always better off easing yourself in slowly and making gradual changes. If I'd told myself that I was going to take part in Veganuary and be Vegan for the whole of January I'd know deep down that it wasn't going to last. I've been consuming animal products for over 21 years now and whilst I live at home with other non-vegans, cutting out meat etc overnight was never going to be that simple. So, my goal for 2020 is to cut my meat consumption and to be fair, I think we should all be giving it a go. Who's with me?

What are your goals for 2020?
On the 1st of January last year I set myself 9 goals for 2019 and then in June had a half-year review to see how I was getting on. Well, we're now in 2020 and I think it's about time we catch up and see how I got on... Spoiler: it wasn't great!
01. Get a career I love
Hahahaha. I'm going to do a wholeee other post on my job situation but as it stands, I'm currently unemployed. I left my previous job over the Christmas break and it was ABSOLUTELY for the best. It has been so nice to actually have some time off - I had such a great Christmas and New Year and I'm excited to get job hunting now that it's 2020. I have no idea where this year is going to take me, where I'll be working or what I'll be doing, but it's all rather exciting, to be honest...
02. Have clear skin
Again, hahahah. 2019 apparently wasn't the year I got clear skin either. I've mentioned it quite a few times now but my skin has never really been great. I mean, it's better than it was whilst I was at school but I definitely still have acne. I can feel it, 2020 is the year it finally sorts itself out.
03. Get a car and drive
Your gal has a Ford Fiesta and has been driving for nearly 6 months now, wahey! I can't even describe to you how worried I was when I first got into my car having not driven for over three years, but, just as everyone says, it really does come flooding back. Since then I've even driven to London and back a couple of times - who would have thought we'd see the day?!
04. Read more
I started this one off well at the beginning of the year and I'm not exaggerating when I say I haven't picked up a book in about 6 months. I did, however, receive Louis Theroux's book for Christmas so this January you will definitely see me diving into that!
05. Continue being more eco-friendly
I'm still not consuming cow's milk and always opt for Soya or Oat where I can. I've started using reusable cotton pads and am also trying to avoid fast fashion! For a while we were also having meat-free Monday's at my house, this is definitely something I want to try and bring back.
06. Get back into the gym and stick with it.
Towards the end of last year, I joined my local gym and was going to at least two classes a week. Alas, Christmas has since been and gone, my membership has run out and I'm yet to go and pay for the renewal... I was getting much fitter though and at one point could almost do a press-up! This is something I've NEVER been able to do, but your gal was almost there. I probably should go and renew my membership this week...
07. Run a 10K
Okay, so this one absolutely did not happen. I don't think I ever even managed to get to 10k on the treadmill let alone an actual race. Maybe I'll add this one to my 2020 list and actually stick to it.
08. Hit 10K on Instagram
Again, another 10K that never materialized. At the time I did mention that this one was just a little ambitious so yeah, here we are. As of the day I'm writing this, I'm currently sat at 3,474 perhaps 5K should be my target for next year? Now that Christmas is over, my festive theme has been put in hibernation until next year, and I've started something new which you can see here. I'm going to be honest, I think it's my best one yet and I can't wait to see it all nicely laid out and posted!
09. Continue growing as an independent, intelligent young woman.
This is definitely something I managed in 2020. I graduated University with a First Class degree, I became a temporary member of staff at said uni conducting research, and then landed a 'proper job'. (Then realised it wasn't a good place to be and left for my own wellbeing!) Yes, Becca! In 2020 we're going to continue with this energy and only work at places that value us, am I right?!
So there we have it, I really didn't do too well with the old 2019 goals, let's hope 2020's are better!
