Midsummer Resolutions

[cali]

@eliida, great resolution! You definitely are a real biker! (And I love your bike). I'm going to resolve to really put myself first and decrease my stress levels. I just made an acupuncture appointment for next week because I found that to really help in the past. I'm also getting myself a mani/pedi after my last final on Wednesday!

Ooh, I like this topic! At the beginning of the year I set a goal to read 45 or 50 books, I'm a few books behind, so I would like to get caught up and on track to complete that goal.

I opened an etsy store for digital scrapbooking stuff, so I really want to work more on creating stuff for my store.

My goal is to finish my choir scrapbook, a quilt for my sister and catch up on all my craft stuff. I also want to really read a lot of books I'm looking for some sort of book challenge to do.

Have you used Goodreads? I use this site to track my reading goals and participate in some online book clubs (there's not many book clubs in my area that I can go to). It's great for challenges and tracking which books you want to read/have read.

elliecat17 I second iheartbroccoli's suggestion for goodreads I like keeping track of the books I read (though I only recently started doing that for real.. I've had my GR account for many years now lol) and it's a good and easy way to join a reading challenge too - you can set your own number of books you want to read. I started this years challenge with 20 books, as I hadn't been reading to much and wasn't wanting to set myself up for too big a challenge, but I've since upped it as I'm almost there heh.

I like this @eliida ! Was just talking to my cousin the other day about making a bucket list.. but some shorter term resolutions may be even better
I've pretty much given up on finishing my dissertation/thesis which I hate but I just can't.. to much has happened to make me too miserable these past couple of years and I ran out of juice to pick it up once more in attempt to finish. So I need some new stuff to work toward to!
I would really like to pick up C25k again. Do more with my creativity (maybe finally open that etsy store I've been wanting to open for years now?). Find either a paid or a volunteer job; something that gets me out of the house, socialize with others, and make me feel useful.

eta: Ohh and I want to research options to move out to the country, buy a piece of land and build our own home. Or something like that. It's something we dream about so why not just try and make it happen?

muscari and iheartbroccoli I do have goodreads! I was doing really good with keeping track of what I was reading and then I stopped. I didn't know I could create challenges though! I will have to check it out again! thanks

All I really want to do is get out of this perpetual state of life limbo I'm in. The past 12 months have been so chaotic emotionally...i just want to figure out some stability, so I'm working towards that.
And more biking. Lots more biking. And being outside in general.

good idea!
@eliida , I was actually just looking at my bike today, and want to get back to riding. I am definitely NOT a biker, haha but it's fun. I also need to eat healthier I feel sluggish. I am reading a lot more and I want to keep it up!

To maintain my activity levels. In consistently hitting 10,000 steps nearly every day and it's really making a difference in how I feel.

To continue my kindness efforts. I'm researching new ideas

To keep up with the house, etc when I go back to school in a couple weeks. I'm hoping my fancy planner helps me stay organized!

@eliida It will look like a bookshelf full of books when it is finished. I will post pictures here soon
