Not resolutions, but what are you aiming towards/hoping to achieve?

I've entered 2 half marathons. Never done one before!

Girlicorne · 31/12/2018 12:10

We have a family flip chart up on the kitchen wall, we want to do everything on that! It's all holidays, day trips, weekends away! And that's as far as I go with goals/resolutions :-)

Redcrayonisthebest · 31/12/2018 12:29

I just want to feel "well" as I seem to spend most of my time feeling under the weather and tired currently.
So taking better care of my health by eating better, exercising, getting better quality sleep, meditation to combat stress and drinking more water.

To stop having goals and live life more in the moment. I’ve lived my entire adult life, striving for the next goal at the expense of appreciating the here and now.

I will do this!

To do a fun activity at least once a month - theatre trip, meal out
Not sweat the small stuff
Pretty much the same as 2018, 2017, 2016.....

ChristmasRaven · 31/12/2018 17:04

Cut down smoking - I don't want to stop, I enjoy it, but I want to smoke less!
Cut down drinking - For the same reasoning as the above!
Move more - I've been working from home for a few months and have become so so lazy.

Ironically I am sitting writing this post on my work laptop with a glass of wine poured and a cigarette in my hand! Blush

Generally speaking, sort my flipping life out!

Politicalacuityisathing · 31/12/2018 17:08

Less phone (including, particularly Mumsnet!)
More running (frequency and distance: 3x a week EVERY WEEK; 17k trail)

mountainlakes · 31/12/2018 17:13

Lose weight 5-6 stone.
Reduce the amount of antidepressants.
Get fit.
Investigate whether Christianity suits me.
Be kind to myself. Encourage my dcs to be kind to me and treat me nicely. They scream in my face, push me, nearly pushed me over, several times, one kicked me in the stomach several times on holiday, say nasty things about me and to me, don't care about things that are important to me... I try really hard not to let it get to me. I am told by dh that I am a good and loving mother.

B00kedEarly8 · 31/12/2018 17:53

Stay employed. Big birthday, so wish to visit lots of family and friends. Travel to New places. Do something new. Stay healthy. Be happy !

Redcrayonisthebest · 31/12/2018 17:56

@mountainlakes sorry to hear about your children, that sounds awful. Are there any other factors making them behave like this?
