14 Things To Do in 2014

I mentioned yesterday that I don’t really do New Year resolutions as I am really bad at them. Also I think if something in my life needs changing I should change it no matter what month I am in.




However, something I have been thinking about doing for a while is a check list for the year of all the things I want to achieve, improve or change in order to make 2014 a great year for me.

In case you are thinking of doing something similar or just to be nosey I thought I would share this list with you, here it goes:

TRAVEL – I say this every year but I want to travel this year, whether it is locally or globally I want to visit new places.
READ – Towards the end of this year I fell back in love with books and I don’t want to let this slip again. 
SMILE – I want to remind myself that nothing is ever as bad as it seems. I need to stop letting the little worries blur the bigger picture. 
SWEAT – I want to push myself past my limits and try lots of new activities this year.
SCREAM – I have stuck well inside my comfort zone recently so want to push myself out of it and do the things that scare me the most.
GO NAKED – I just recently purchased a new naked palette and I MUST start using this and make the effort. 
SLEEP – I have a really bad sleeping pattern so I am going to make a conscious effort this year to get into a normal routine.
SHARE – I am right now, right here making a pact to take you guys with me on all of my 2014 adventures however big or small. I hope you’re ready.
REVISE – One thing I should have done by now is got my license and the only thing standing between me and it is a theory test. This year I WILL pass this test and be on the road. 
EXPLORE – This ties in with travel but I also want to explore places close to home, the quirky little places I pass by on a daily basis but don’t give enough attention to.
FLY – I do not plan on growing wings or gaining any superpowers. I would like to have a lot of air adventures with owls, planes and the boy. Watch this space. 
•GET BRUTAL – I am a massive collector or everything and find it really difficult to get rid of anything so this year I am starting fresh by rehoming all of the items I no longer have a home for here. (If you plan on doing this please, please rehome items that are too good to simply throw away. Charity shops, clothes bins even friends may want something you don’t!)
PHOTOGRAPH – I was very surprised looking back at this year at the lack of photographs I had. Not of events like holidays, day trips or concerts but of general life and moments that I can remember now but may fade over time. This year I aim to photograph everything, after all you can never have too many photographs right?
TALK – No-one would ever think I need to make a conscious effort to talk as it is possibly one of my favourite pastimes! This year though, I would like to talk to people from everywhere of any age. I know when you are young you are told not to talk to strangers but I’m a big girl now and that is exactly what I want to do. You never know who you might meet if you don’t give them a chance.

So there you have it, my list of 14 for the year 14. I hope that as we enter this year and travel the next 12 months together you will see me achieving these personal goals (and possibly many others.)

If you have done anything like this leave a comment down below, I would love to read all of your plans for the next year.
