HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Once again, last year this was two separate posts but I thought this year I'd put them together ^_^ So first let's go through last year's resolutions.
So first here is the original post. So here we go with the breakdown:
( ( 2016 Resolution Wrap Up ) )
---
So while I technically failed A LOT this year, I feel I got a lot of progress done so I am happy xD So we'll say I completed 8 out of 12 resolutions in 2016! ^_^
And now for my 2017 resolutions. I'm going to try and not be so demanding this next year as I've realised this past year just how much time even ONE hobby can take up in my life so they are:
1. Watch 60 Doramas/SPs/Movies/Anime - If I can average about 5 a month then I think I'm still doing good for drama/movie-obsessed me -- trust me guys, I still love my doramas(!). Also I tend to watch about 4 doramas and 2 or 3 anime a season so I know for definite at least every 3 months this year I will have at least 4 doramas finished in that one month because they'll all be finishing around the same time. This also allows me to keep up my Movie Mondays if I wanted and doesn't put pressure on me to have to go every Monday, but every other Monday if I so wish ^_^
2. Read 20 Books - And I mean BOOKS. This means that while I'm still allowed to marathon my manga if I so wish BUT I really do want to get through actual books that I own and I think 20 is a decent number.
3. Keep Up with Reviews
4. Keep Up with Exercising, Dancing, Stretching
5. Be Stricter on Stages - this is a new hobby of mine this past year and of course this first year I went absolutely mental and went to watch everything! But towards the end of this year I've noticed what themes I don't like, what disappoints me, what's difficult to get tickets for, who's popular, what I like and which actors I want to support. So hopefully in 2017 I can be a bit more strict and specific on the shows and actors I do go to watch and hopefully, this will also allow me to start saving serious money too.
6. Save Money - I have a goal specific money goal in mind and it's totally achievably so long as I stay strict with my buying.
7. Only buy Limited Goods - this past year also I've bought stuff just because I'm financially able to but (going back to goal 5 and 6) I want to be a bit more concious about my money and about what I buy and like I said, I want to start seriously saving money, so I think from now on, I'll only buy things (on the spot) if they're limited only. I don't need to rush to buy something immediately if I can still buy it in 3 years time for myself as a birthday present.
8. Take the JLPT N1 test - I want to get this test out of the way and next year it'll either be in July or December but it depends on how well my studies continue.
9. Be less negative and complainy - I've noticed this past year that I love complaining and I love pointing out the BAD things with no real meaning and it's not critical or progressive either. Also it doesn't really help one's mental state either and I've noticed that my negativity really doesn't help my emotions or personal security and makes me question my relationships and everything, so this next year I'm going to really start to keep my negativity to myself when it's really not needed to be said to the world.
This next year is all about balance between all my hobbies for me next year hence why I don't have any ridiculous goals. I want to keep them all balanced and keep my love for all my hobbies alive ^_^
Let me know what you think of these resolutions! What are you resolutions for 2017 and how were your resolutions for 2016?
