2021 Plans, Goals & Dreams

Here we are again, surpassing the 3 blog posts for BEWinter — this being the 4th one we made this year 😄

I gotta say, i’m absolutely lost in time.. really not feeling the end of year fastly approaching along with Christmas and my birthday (turning 26! eek!), so I was quite late to place my goals and dreams for 2021; hence why we are being… 18days late for this prompt.

Today’s post was from Clo @ Cuppa Clo, from the 2nd of December — Prompt’s post, Her post ;

2021 Plans, Goals & Dreams
Share your plans, goals and dreams for next year! I always find December to be the month steeped in self reflection, planning for the months ahead and reassessing my situation. What you share is entirely choice, keep it to just blogs and books, or branch out!

It had been harder for me to form some kind of dream for the new year, as nothing of the traditionally “big things” in life were attainable; I have successfully got my learner’s permit already, and I don’t have anything to graduate from (I guess I could get myself back to college but erm..)

While I had a “resolution” page for 2020 – I decided to not have any this year, simply just things I wish I could ameliorate within the year .. and my Goodread goal that i’m gonna keep at 20, just like in 2020. I know I can probably achieve it again, as I am currently 4 books over, and don’t feel like over-stressing myself with it.

As for what i’d love to be more able to do, it generally all goes around the make myself a priority. I try way too much to please everyone and find it hard to put what I need over what others might need of me.

Following, Allow myself to relax seemed like a good one- because although I am now working full time for a few years now.. the dread of doing nothing at the time I spent 9months unemployed trying to get out of my bad mental health with the help of therapy made it that I feel the NEED to always do atleast ONE THING productive within my day or else it’s wasted. This is not the case anymore, I work ~41hrs a week, I work hard enough that I can stay in bed doing nothing all day if I want without feeling guilty — it’s time for me to acknowledge that.

Allowing myself to start multiple things at once can be a wierd one.. i’m just a person that need to read a single book at a time, watch one TV serie only or even play one game at the time (New Horizon not counting- as it’s a daily thing now) — I wanna be able to pick a second book freely if I need to read something else than what i’m currently reading; juggling BOTH at the same time.

Finally, Speaking more to people; i’ve always been the shy & reserved kind of person, quietly in her corner not saying a word. This leaves me with barely any friends, and while it was hard to make friends beforehand, it’s even worst with Covid around! It’s time to atleast try to get out of my shell.

What are your 2021 goals or dreams?
