I mean, how many Bloggers are there out there who will be scheduling a special piece for the very beginning of 2018?
It
is times like this that are difficult, as a Blogger, to produce original
content; it makes sense to write a New Years blog post, but you think that
almost everyone will be writing either their resolutions, aims, goals, plans,
or reviews of the year just gone… I think that the most original thing to do in
this situation, almost, is to not even write a post!
The
past three New Years that I’m NOT Disordered has celebrated, have gone like
this:
2013/2014 featured a list (what I
didn’t achieve from it, carried on to 2014/2015) but now, in 2017, I’ve now
achieved/completed the entire list - 12/12!
2014/2015 was a list of goals for
the year ahead – and if you go read it and are wondering, I did/have done 9/10
2015/2016 featured a short list of
upcoming projects, plans, and goals for the year ahead.
2016/2017 I celebrated with a
completely new design – I can’t believe I’ve had this new logo for a year! I guess I need to stop calling it my new logo! I also asked myself – and some
others – two questions: 1. What was one of your favourite things about 2016?
And 2. What one thing are you looking forward to in 2017?
If
I were to answer these questions now…
1.
One
of my favourite things about 2017 was the number of things I learnt. I know
this cheating because I should probably just pick a particular time, moment or
memory and talk about that; but there’s been so many amazing moments that I
could never pick one from them. And that doesn’t mean there’s nothing that
stands out, but that they all do. All of these positive moments, and life
lessons… They all mean something different and there’s been so many amazing
things happen to me – and to I’m NOT Disordered – in 2017 where, when it
happened, I remember thinking ‘it doesn’t get better than this!’ or ‘this is unbelievable!’
So how could you pick something from them?
This year, I’m going to answer some different questions:
A bad habit I’m going to
break:
being lazy!
Recently
I’ve felt like I’ve asked people to do things for me that I could so easily
have done myself and although sometimes that’s because I’m so tired after an
event or working late; I still feel lazy!
A new skill I’d like to
learn:
writing in short-hand
I
was feel quite self conscious when I’m at meetings or talking to people and
trying to keep up with what they’re saying!
A person I hope to be
more like:
Victoria McGrath aka In The Frow
InThe Frow is one of my favourite bloggers/YouTubers because she’s such a hard
worker, has an outstanding work ethic, and commits to all she does with the
greatest, and most powerful passion I’ve ever seen. It’d be an honour to be
like her.
A good deed I’m going to
do:
continue helping others
Whether
it be through I’m NOT Disordered, other volunteering or giving presentations
and speeches at events
A place I’d like to visit: Harrogate
Although
I’ve already been to Harrogate – a few times – I’m just not interested in travelling
abroad. I actually find the idea really scary!
A book I’d like to read: Staying Strong by DemiLovato
This
is something that’s been on my kindle for a long time!
A new food I’d like to
try:
Fajitas
Kind
of speaks for itself…
