LIFESTYLE | 5 Months, 5 Goals

Whilst I'm not one for new year's resolutions, I do believe in setting goals for yourself and putting your mind to things that you'd like to achieve - however big or small. I am an individual who enjoys looking ahead and I especially love to plan and have goals set in place as it makes me feel like I'm on track and moving forward in some way. With that in mind and with 5 remaining months left in the year, I thought I'd share 5 goals that I'd like to make a reality whether in their complete entirety or just in some small way.

1. Start Learning to Drive

At 21 (almost 22, yay!) it's safe to say I'm over the whole public transport thing and whilst it's a notion that completely terrifies me, I would like to start learning how to drive. I'd like to begin my theory revision and eventually my lessons in the next few months, hopefully things go well for me and I'll be causing around in no time!

2. Workout Regularly Again

I've fallen off the workout bandwagon recently and definitely want to get back on it. The gym has never been an environment for exercise that has interested me so at home workouts are definitely more my cup of tea and so I plan to start making time for these!

3. Find a New Job

As a soon to be official graduate, I am now in that stage of my life where I (try to) figure out what kind of career path I'd like to take. I want to have hopefully secured a job within that area within the next few months or to be on the way to doing so - fingers crossed.

4. To Read a New Book Each Month

Reading was possibly my biggest passion and most beloved pastime growing up. I would spend hours each day after school reading the books I'd gotten from the library, utterly lost in a new literary world each day. Since then, I have found less time for reading and this is something that I really want to change. Therefore I think a realistic and good place to start is by aiming to complete a new book each month!

5. Start Saving

I guess the reasoning for this one is kind of self explanatory as I'm sure a lot of us can agree and relate wtih. Looking to the future, there's a lot of plans that I have inshore and saving money is a big part of those plans becoming a reality. Always time for the odd cheeky makeup haul, though.

And those are my 5 goals for 5 months, hopefully I'll be able to say I have achieved these goals as 2017 rolls in and if not, I hope I can say I am at least on the way to their achievement.

What goals would be on your list?
