2017 Personal Goals
Firstly, Happy New Year! I predict that I’m currently feeling slightly hungover and regretting not doing my full skincare routine before I went to bed last night… I wanted to set myself a couple of “resolutions”, I’m not keen on putting a label on this, lets just say here are a few things I want to achieve/ do over the next 12 months!
Have more gratitude and appreciate the small things
Throughout 2016 I forgot to take a step back and just appreciate the little things in life. Whether it’s a funny moment in work or a friendly shop assistant, I really want to take a moment to be thankful for all of those things I more often than not take for granted.
Learn more about SEO/ Improve my blog photography
Anyone else love the analytical side of blogging? I’m eager to expand my knowledge of all things SEO whether that’s through an online course or reading up on it more. I’m also tempted to complete a photography course, I’m happy with my progress so far but I actually quite enjoy the whole textbook learning process alongside being practical.
Stop hoarding and declutter atleast once a month
I’m already on a role with this one and I actually started straight after Christmas, I managed to clear out a whole bin bag of shoes! It’s ridiculous how much stuff I have crammed into draws, I really want to feel organised and in a good place in 2017. I truly believe that a tidy space = tidy mind so it has to be done!
Get fit and healthy
Cliche I know, but hear me out. I enjoy exercising so it’s just a case of keeping it up (and resisting the chocolate and crisps in the kitchen cupboard!). I want to be going to the gym atleast 4 times a week and make more time for meal prep and eating decent meals. I feel so much better in myself when I do it, I think it’s just a case of getting into a good routine and also the will power to say no to a choccy biscuit…
There they are, a few things I’ll be keeping in the back of my mind as we go into the new year! I hope you have an amazing start to 2017, are you going into the New Year with any goals in mind?

Love these goals – especially the gratitude 🙂 I am hoping to get back into shape after what has been an overindulgent Christmas, and I also want to declutter my room. I have SO MUCH crap in there that is no longer needed – a clear out is going to happen soon. Best of luck with your goals, and Happy New Year lovely lady! xxJessie | allthingsbeautiful-x
Best of luck with all of your goals Josie – I have some very similar ones set for myself too! Hope you had a lovely night last night and are having a great start to the new year 🙂 Ambar x | Her Little Loves

Love your blog. Good luck with your goals.
I've set myself a fair few things to change and do for 2017 and one of them is not take anything for granted and spend more quality time with friends and family Isobel xNew post: http://fashionistachic14.blogspot.co.uk/2016/12/fashion-perfect-classy-dress-for-party.html?m=1Insta: https://www.instagram.com/isobelceline/Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/isobelcelineNew Video: https://youtu.be/RqefMiIyfswBloglovin : https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/fashionista-chic-12984939
Good luck with your goals! I'd love to start exercising in 2017 and also take care of myself more xxPhoebe & Abida | phoebida.blogspot.co.uk
i really have to declutter my life. my boyfriend and i are planning to have a whole declutter day and it will be great.❥loovelle.blogspot.com
I think your blog photography is amazing, it puts mine to shame! I wish I could have a knack for flatlays but I guess practice does make perfect. I've also made a start on doing a clearout, and I'm hoping to do it more regularly too! I'm such a hoarder (especially when it comes to clothes) so I really need to sort that out this year… Lizzie Bee // mysticthorn.com
Hahaha, I really need to stop hoarding stuff too. And shopping, of course. Good luck on your goals, Jodie! xwww.ashrealasitgets.blogspot.com

Really great goals for the new year – I need to remember to declutter and tidy at least once a month, so important to keep a clear mind!Lucy | Forever September
Decluttering is definitely something I need to work on. Hope you have a wonderful 2017!Sara | Sara Spoke

These are great goals, I desperately need to do a clearout! It's also so nice to appreciate the little things as, *cliche alert*, they really are the big things xSick Chick Chic
We have a lot of the same goals for 2017! I seriously need to declutter, and I'm currently in the process of getting rid of so many things I just don't use, but hoard. Such a bad habit! Totally agree with the whole tidy space = tidy mind. Good luck and happy new year :)xxNida | Caked To The Nines
I have similar blogging goals. I definitely want to keep improving on my photos and just expand my knowledge on the technical side of blogging. Wonderful post. http://www.themakeupaficionado.comhttps://www.instagram.com/themakeupaficionado17/https://au.pinterest.com/bernadette_95/

Love this – such fab goals! xwww.stylepetal.co.uk
I love that one of your goals is to appreciate the small things in life.. often we are worrying over the negative things to focus on when good things happenRonniewww.veronicabizzarri.blogspot.co.ukxx
I definitely agree with you about needing to get my blog photos looking a bit sharper and nicer. And I need to de-clutter more as well! Hopefully in 2017 I'll be able to part with some junk and start living a more minimalist lifestyle. Great post!Tia | The 10am Blog
I love this post, and I definitely relate to the de-cluttering point. Since I became a homeowner I've used it as an excuse to start hoarding things that I would have thrown away when I lived in one room and now it's really starting to pile up! Good luck lovely, I hope you have a great year! xxx
Lovely post, Jodie! All the best for 2017! xMelanieLilies Beauty
