Last year I had 6 goals: read more, become plastic free, cut down on sugar, become more minimalist, get fit and do something for me. You can read more about my 2019 goals HERE. Some of them I did, such as reading more which I managed to do by setting myself a reading challenge at the beginning of the year that helped me so much. Others, such as becoming more plastic free, were a lot harder than I imagined (I mean, so many things are made of plastic it's almost impossible to cut it out completely). However, I did make a good start by begining to use items such as metal straws and bamboo toothbrushes. And as for sutting down on sugar? Don't even go there! I definitely have a very sweet tooth and I gave up on that goal pretty quickly.
So this brings me to my goals for this year. Here they are:

Creative writing
I started writing some children's books over a year ago now but got so busy in 2019 creating and running my online courses that creative writing took a backseat. I would really like to dedicate more time to creative writing this year and finish some of my books! Who knows, I may even become a published author by the end of the year!Nature journaling
I am a very creative person and love to do all kinds of arts and crafts. One of the things we do a lot of in our homeschool is nature journal. Nature journaling is going outdoors and painting things that you see in nature. My children do quite a lot of nature journaling because I often take their nature journals out with us when we go to a park or the woods. However, I am yet to get into this habit. It is mostly because I feel like I don't have time to do it because I am wacthing or playing with my littles ones. However, I know that this is not the case as a quick sketch or painting can actually be done very quickly.I was particuarly inspired while on a retreat for homeschooling mums a few months ago. We listened to a talk by a mother who spent a lot of time nature journaling and she had become very quick at it. We even watched her paint over the weekend and she would take less than five minutes to complete a painting! If she can do it then why can't I? I know I just need to get into the habit of it and the more I practise, thr quicker I will become. To read more about it you can check out my blog post HERE.
Dance
One of my goals last year was to get fit. I didn't manage to go to any fitness classes so pretty much failed that goal! However, I did end up going to one or two dance classes and I would like to go to regular dance classes this year - dancing is far more fun than the gym in my opinion! You may not know this but I used to be a dancer. I did almost every variety of dance you can think of from ballet to hip hop and even used to teach my own dance classes!My dance of choice is bellydancing and I am making it my goal to get back in touch with my old bellydance friends and dance again. Now that I have stopped breastfeeding Asiya it will be much easier for me to get out in the evenings so I really haven't got any excuse. I can't wait to get started!
