How many of you stick to your New Years Resolutions? I have given up making any since I usually forget what they are a few week afterwards! However, I am determined to stick to these since they are of much more benefit to my life.
1) Gain much more experience working with children
I have worked with children for a number of years, mainly in playgroups and nurseries, but for the past six months I have been a nanny for a number of families. I am starting a new position at the beginning of January aswell 
Hopefully I will have enough time to do some more volunteering work too. Currently I am in contact with a local family support group for those with Autism and I hope my University timetable won;t get in the way!
2) EXERCISES, EXERCISES!
I know everyone makes this resolution, but I was mildly successful in Winter and hopefully I will motivate myself enough to attend regularly! It wills also prevent me from going out and shopping, therefore saving money too
3) Take more photos
My boyfriend is planning on getting himself a new car soooooh hopefully we can take some mroe trips around the UK so I can get my Etsy shop populated with items!
4) Re-Evaluate Shop
I have been selling since November so these past few months have been a taster for how much people like my photographs. As a result I will be re-evaluating the overall look fo my shop. I have recently done this with a new banner, which can be seen on my shop: http://MalibuBarbie112.com
The banner was courtesy of byrobinlynne. This is the link to her blog- http://robinlynne.org :)
5) Focus on Friends
Since University I have met ALOT of flaky people and I think its time I focussed on my true friends
Who else has made New Years Resolutions that they HOPE they will keep?
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
I think resolutions are a great opportunity to evaluate life and come up with goals. I tend to set goals that are quantifiable so I can tell when I have met it. I also need incentive, so I pick out a reward and grant myself the reward when I achieve my goal.
I have two big goals for this year – turn my dissertation into a published article & submit abstracts for it to 2 conferences in my field. My reward will be: ????
Good luck realizing your resolutions!
Hiya,
like your blog….
I hadn’t really thought about making a New Years Resolution until someone asked me last night, and I remember reading a little book called random acts of kindness, where peeps would go around doing things for others i.e paying for the car parking ticket for the person in the car behind, I thought one could be…when in the supermarket next buy a bar of chocolate with shopping and then as you pack it all up and on leaving give the bar of chocolate to the person behind you in the que
anyway I made the blog for it now: and someone has given their first testimony in it
