Goals of 2015

I never make new years resolutions. I like to have the feeling of a new start in the new year, but I hate the pressure resolutions give you. So even though these are goals I have for 2015 I did start a few of them during the end of last year so I wouldn't have the fear of waking up on the 1st of January to massive set of rules I had set myself.

Read at least 2 books a month

Now this is not a massive goal but some months I do find I don't give myself enough time to read. It is something I love doing and I have found I have got into the horrible habit of taking my laptop to bed with me at night instead of a book. So in 2015 I will try to read at least 2 books a month and put my laptop down at a reasonable hour so I have time to relax and read before I sleep.

Buy more music

This again is not a massive goal but I am from a generation that when I was old enough to buy my own music it was readily available online for free, illegally I may add, but all the same I never had to pay for it. Now that my husband is in a band and I can see how badly this has effected the industry I feel annoyed at myself for being a part of it. Music is something that nearly all of my friends have a passion for, even if they are not musical themselves we all have a common interest in music. I may be doing it for the Karma points, but I will buy at least one album a month and encourage my friends to do the same, and hopefully my prior misdemeanours won't come back to bite me on the butt.   

Run at least twice a week

Or at least do some sort of workout. This year I have promised some friends that I would do the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge and also a local race called the Nos Galon that shuts down our village every New Years Eve. Even though I have been known to go for a run every now and again and I did do that 30 day yoga challenge for a while, I am by no means anywhere near fit enough to do either of these events. So I will be forcing myself to do some training and stick to some sort of routine. 

Drink more water

This kind of fits in with the last one. When I was in school I used to drink lots of water, I would never drink anything else. And even though I still prefer water to fizzy drinks I have gotten out of the habit somewhere down the line of drinking as much as I should. 

So 2015 will hopefully be the year I get fitter, read more and get some good karma points back. Have you got any goals or resolutions for 2015? Have you broken any already?
