New Years Resolutions 2022

So according to my post from this time last year my resolutions for 2021 were as follows:

1. Work out at least three times a week – whether that is going for a run, doing some yoga, or completing an at-home YouTube work-out (we all loved Chloe Ting in the lockdowns)

2. Keep a diary – I don’t mind if I don’t write in it every day but at least 3 entries a week, because I want to be able to look back on my university days when I’m old. Also, I kind of want to be Bridget Jones…

3. Actually, stick to a skincare routine and stop picking at my spots – I’ve got a very bad habit of picking at my skin and spots and making them a hundred times worse than they were to start with, so I’ve ordered some nice new skincare and I really want to stick to some sort of routine.

4. Read 52 books – in 2020 I set my challenge at 50, and just about completed it. 52 would be one a week, so I think that’s an achievable next step.

5. Post on this blog at least once a fortnight – once a week seems a lot what with university too, but once a fortnight seems do-able.

I thought I’d check in a year later to see how that went.

First up was working out at least 3 times a week, generally yes, I did do this, but definitely not for the whole year, I did buy a gym membership though, so I do go to the gym regularly now.

Then we had keeping a diary. I was pretty religious about this until about July/august time, then I started writing around once a month, but I do think I’m going to try this again in 2022.

Next was sticking to a skincare routine, that was a total fail I won’t lie, my skin is no better now than it was a year ago but that’s just kind of fine.

Reading 52 books, I think I read 49 so I was soooo close but not quite a win. I’ve set my challenge at 52 again this year so we’ll see how that goes again.

Finally, posting on this blog at least once a fortnight, yeah… failed that one, didn’t I? I think uni and life just got in the way, also I get writer’s block for months and have basically no motivation or inspiration to write, so that always helps.

So, what are my resolutions for 2022? I don’t want to set too many this year because I really don’t know what I’m going to be doing after I finish uni, will I be doing a masters, working full time, stuck at home unemployed and sad? Who knows. But the few resolutions I do want to try are:

1- Read 52 books this year – I know I’ve failed once but maybe this year?

2- Survive uni – graduate – scary stuff.

3- Keep working out regularly – self explanatory really.

4- Maybe move to London… that’s the big one – if I get into my masters course then that’s easy but if not then hopefully I’ll be able to rent a flat in London maybe…?

Hope you all have a happy and healthy 2022, here’s to a fab year.
