And In 2015…

I am not one for resolutions as 48 hours after I make them I break them.

But I am one for changes.

And in 2015 I want positive changes.

Our lives have been so hard for so long, negative thoughts have taken over, there have been times in the past three years that Mr and I have thought the house to be cursed and I am not joking when I say that. We have been through so much and it is time to make some positives instead of just negatives.

To lift the clouds, and to live.

Happily for a change.

So there are a few things that I want to change and I few things that I want to start doing.

One being Embrace Happy, we as a family decided we had to be more positive and decided embrace happy was for us. And it really is, five days in and we are loving it. I am loving that Baba and Mr are being positive about things everyday. Today Baba even asked me when Boo is going to start embrace happy, and I think I am going to start it with him, maybe not three things every day but something that he has enjoyed every day for sure. I think it will be lovely to look back on over the years.

Another thing that I want is to be more organised. This is something I have wanted for a long time, since having Baba really. I have struggled from then on. I used to be very organised, now more often than not I feel like I am running and haven’t even learnt to walk properly. Life is always a juggling act, and I don’t always get it right. For the past few months I have been searching for the right way for our house to be organised, but nothing out there has struck me as a system that will work for me. But I think I have  a plan in action, it is one that is taking a while to make right for us, but I am hoping when it is finished it will be the right thing for us. Which will lead to me being more organised, and no more missed appointments, forgotten bills, or forgetting birthdays, which I have been doing a lot of.

I want us to get healthy, I am not too concerned about loosing weight, a little more would be nice, but I achieved a lot last year, going from a size 20 down to a 16 and I admit I am no longer in a tighter 16 but need a generous 16 but I’m still relatively happy with where I am. Although I am fully aware that I could be healthier. I am aware that I have bad family history, and I need to start looking after myself for that. And it doesn’t hurt to make the whole house healthier at the same time. I have made the decision to rejoin slimming world, and get into the mind-set again and start on a much healthier lifestyle, one that is not all about chocolate, as my life so easily could be. I am looking forward to going on this journey again, and not feeling that it is a chore but enjoying being healthier and making the right lifestyle choices.

I also want us to do a lot of the jobs around the house that need to be done. Nothing in our house except Baba’s room and the bathroom has been decorated since before Baba was born, and things need to be updated. After having a puppy and two rescue dogs in our house things have got ruined along the way and it is time to finally sort them. Our garden is a hole really, again having three dogs over the years have wrecked it but I for one really want to sort all these things this year, and maybe finally getting a downstairs toilet as I was told so many years ago.

Some changes are easy, some changes are hard, but they are all things that will help to make our lives better, happier and hopefully make us feel better and happy, so I am aiming to complete the changes this year.

What plans and new things do you want to achieve for 2015?
