My Goals for 2014

1/2/14


Just like everyone else I'm not a fan of New Year "Resolutions" because I can never stick to them. However, if you know anything about me you know that I am a listoholic. I live by lists. So this year I've made of list of goals that I'd like to accomplish throughout 2014...

TAKE MORE PICTURES
This goal relates to "smaller" goals I'd like to accomplish as well- completing P52 {taking one picture a week}, starting Project Life {which is a form of scraping}, and learning how to use my dSLR.

TRY NEW THINGS
Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who doesn't really like change/newness {is that even a word?}. I want to branch out, I want to learn, and most importantly I want to grow. I already have a few things in mind for this- trying new foods, taking new classes, ect.

PUT MY PHONE AWAY
I'm semi-addicted to my iPhone and I admit it. I'm always checking Twitter/Instagram/BlogLovin and it drives my poor husband crazy. I need to learn when to "turn it off" and to just be in the moment.

BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN
This is probably on everyone's list in some form, but I think it's a good thing. I need to drink water {I can't tell you the last time I had a full glass}, find a yoga class to attend weekly, and start training for the runs we're signing up for!

FIGURE OUT MY NEXT MOVE
Whether it's grad school or finding my first "big kid" job I need to figure out what comes next. It's out of my hands now and I need to just believe that what's supposed to happen will.

Here's to hoping that 2014 is going to be a great year!

    1. I take a ton of everyday "crappy" pictures, but I want to take meaningful ones!

      Thanks :)

  2. OHHH you made me remember another goal -- I want to complete a project 365!!

    Good luck with your goals, especially the phone one! I'm obsessed with mine too and I am assuming when I have kids I will take on that challenge ahha :)

    1. Good luck! I can't commit to every day yet, but if I can complete the once/week I'll give it a try next year :)

  3. You can do this!!! I got my dSLR only a month ago and I'm still learning. I've read thousands of tutorials and love playing around with it. It's really exciting when you get a great picture from the tips & tricks :)

    Living in the moment is definitely hard, but I'm glad I've stopped using my phone as much.

    1. Do you get the tutorials on Pinterest? I have the Rebel T3 for Dummies book that I just started LOL I think I might need to take a class or something though. I learn a lot faster when someone else teaches me instead of teaching myself.

  5. love the "put my phone away one". I'm so glad that you are able to admit that you need to do this. (that sounded weird but i guess what i'm saying is its nice to see someone own up to having that addiction, or whatever you want to call it). personally, i am not one of these people and i get SO upset when i'm with people, or just people watching in general and the other people are glued to their phones! good luck with this! i know how it can be hard, but try your best. you'll feel better once you develop a habit of not needing to check in, and the person you are with will love it too ;)
