My 2018 Goals

The past 2 years has been extremely challenging for me.  So for 2018, I want to turn my life around and bring it back on track.  So the past week, I’ve been planning on what I want to achieve this 2018.  And here I am, sharing my 2018 goals.  This is also the first time that I’m creating a visual board. 😃

I intend to write more about each type of goal but overall, the ones illustrated above are the things I want to achieve this year.  I will review progress every month with my friends privately and then I’ll do a year-end post by December 2018 to share with you if I’m successful or not on my 2018 goals.

First up, my theme for the year is PROGRESS.  I’m a perfectionist and this is something I want to fix with myself, that’s why I chose the word progress.  I want to learn to be contented when I have progress on the things that I do.  So 2018 is about progress NOT perfection.

2018 is also the year that I want to focus on myself. I feel like I’m so broken that I tend to be sad. I want to fight the negativity and the effect of my wrong decisions in the recent years and prove to myself that I can overcome this and I can redeem myself. I also want to focus on being kind even to people who do not deserve it.  This is an advice I got from a dear friend and it’s the best advice I got last year.

Here are the things I intend to achieve in 2018:

• Run a 10km race
• Achieve my target weight of 115 pounds

Hobbies
