Those of you who have read my blog before are aware I have done this previously too. There is a group that I joined just over 6 months ago for the first set of goals. The aim is to set ourselves goals and aims to achieve over the next 6 months that go some way to improving the quality of our life. We all share experiences, support and sometimes when needed a little constructive criticism.
I really enjoyed the last 6 months and feel I achieved a lot that I had set out to so it was a no brainer to start again for another 6 months with new goals.
This time I’ve set out my goals for what I want at the end of the 6 months and have broke them all down into monthly goals.
As of yet I’ve not drawn up my blog and career goals simply because I really want to have a huge focus on my home life and health this time. So I will update with those goals later this week.
I have wrote one primary focus down for October and will be using the tracker supplied in the new Carpe Diem. Each month I will chose a different high focus area to work on. I want to try and instill a habit over the 30 days so a tracker becomes unnecessary.
So let’s have a look at my goals;
1) Be More Positive – This is a big one. I always think I am positive but I admit lately it’s to easy to get bogged down and not appreciate things that perhaps I should. My aim here to to write down every single day at least 1 positive thing.
2) Lose 2 stone and eat better – Over the last 6 months I haven’t been as good as I should have. I really want to shift the weight. This breaks down to 4lb a month, 1lb a week so I feel it’s achievable. My eating habits have started to slip back into snacky eating too so I need to reign it back in.
3) Organise The Paperwork – Given how organised I am in every area of my life this is one area I am not. I have 3 months if not more of filing to catch up on. I must get this done and a system in place.
4) Be More Financially Responsible – The biggest part of this is to stop emotionally spending. I also want to start paying more off my credit card each month to reduce this right down. With Birthdays and Christmas over these 6 months I need to spend much better than I do.
5) Have A Better Home Life – This is quite broad but covers things such as: more time offline, more time as a family, date nights, sorting Alexis’s bedtime routine out again. Everything that has been not great over the last 6 months needs improving.
That’s it for my main goals. I may have only 5 but there are some biggies in there.
As you can see from the page below I have wrote these out and put them into my planner along with the monthly focus tasks.
UKPA although set out originally as a planner group is about so much more. The help and support from this group of people is massive.

Thank you for posting this Emma and for sharing your goals; I’ve yet to set mine, because I’m too afraid of failing, but I am enjoying the encouragement that is being given and shared and I truly hope in six months time you can look back and feel accomplished and satisfied with all that you have achieved. Good luck huni! xx

You arw welcome. If you are afraid of failing you could set smaller goals. That’s why I break mine down so much, I feel doing that gives me realistic and achievable aims. X

Thank you. I wish I could. I have an unhealthy fear surrounding failure and even if it’s the smallest, silliest of things, I fret (putting it lightly) so much. If I don’t try, I don’t fail – which is a terrible motto to follow. But I’m working on it. Thank you for your encouragement. I will try to focus and knuckle down soon x

It’s not a terrible motto to follow. It’s actually completely understandable. Hopefully one day you’ll feel able to set yourself some little goals but I wouldn’t sweat it if you don’t 🙂 we all figure our own ways around things at some point xx
