Last year I did 18 for 2018 and at the en dof the year I checked of all the boxes. I just tapped one goal after the other. I was in good spirits to do it again in 2019.
So I again set 19 goals. This time things didn't work out for me. I think you learn the most from something that fails.
So here is my list of what I learned this year from my 19 goals:
Â
1. I don't drink enough water. Even though I had the goal of drinking 2019 glasses of water, some time after the summer I stopped tracking my drinking and I know why. Because I don't drink enough water. I like water, but I reather choose tea. Or for something with more taste if I get the chance. The vegetable Barista milk varieties have also increased my coffee (cappuccino) intake enormously. I love the delicous tast. Certainly a habit that I have to change. But not this year.
Â
2. I have too many loose projects. My craft cupboard, desk and two shelves in the kitchen are filled with projects. Not convenient. Doing Marie Kondo-style only gives me another project. Just because I can do all the work at ones (something with having kids and another job). So that doesn't work either. I want to tackle this idea of ​​too many projects that require my attention next year. At least no more 20 at a time.
Â
3. Writing in a notebook is wonderful. But not if I want to do NaNoWriMo in addition to my busy job, education, family and household. Next year I will again say YES to NaNoWriMo wholeheartedly, but then we just write the words on the computer.
Â
4. A Yoga Teacher Training takes more time than I had planned. And I had a schedule where the flexibility was completely filtered out. Not handy because life happens and that never goes according to plan. So now my studyplanning is by week, not by day.
Â
5. My own definition of veganism: the process that a person goes through with the discovery that some systems do not work and the choice is made to no longer participate in this, but cannot fully withdraw from society as a person.
Â
6. I am not a person of keeping photo albums, letters and storage boxes for my children. This does not make me a bad mother.
Â
7. You should not measure what you do out of kindness. Period!
Â
8. I don't need a moonjournal to do self-research. Even though this year I have a beautiful document, next year I will no longer do a moonjournal.
Â
9. I am very jealous of all those self-publishing people around me. I want that too!
Â
10. A watercolor book is not suitable for watercolor paint!
Â
11. I am a blogger in my head.

Not all goals achieved does not mean a bad year. I had a very good year. I have achieved three goals (almost four). That's great. And I did many other nice things too! I'm just looking forward to the new year. What about you?
