In your own space, set some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I have a lot of goals for this year, but there are a few that rate as more important to me than the others.

First, I want to get back into the habit of working out. I lost 15 pounds last year and I did it by focusing on eating better and going to the gym at least three times a week. I ran on a treadmill or lifted weights as the mood struck me, and I was happy and had an almost abundent energy that I hadn't realised I was missing. Due to health reasons I had to stop, but now that I'm back to 100% I can feel how far back I've fallen in my general fitness. This year one of my goals is to get it back. I wouldn't mind losing a little more weight, but I want the focus to be feeling better and more fit in general. Or at least to stop feeling a tad breathless by the time I reach the third landing in my apartment building. That would be nice.

Second, I want to focus on my writing. Since junior high its been my dream to be a fully fledged writer who got their work published....and now I'm staring down the barrel of my 30's and its still very much a dream with little to no basis in reality. I still write off an on, but I struggle to fully commit myself since I keep telling myself that I'm tired and it doesn't matter since everything I write is garbage anyway. Which it is, because I don't write. I seem to expect perfection from myself with little to no effort which is....stupid. So so stupid. So I created a word count tracker in my bullet journal in order to remind myself that this is something I want.

Those are the two goals that matter the most to me right now, beyond the usual of trying to be a good person and to try and not sit on my own thoughts until they turn into festering insecurities that make me lash out at the people around me. You know, the usual.
