Meant to do this months ago… Time flies!
I want to set a 5 year goal for myself. I know realistically it is hard to change immediately, and even harder to keep certain changes… that’s why I want to change gradually rather than instantly.
I was inspired by a voice actor who was able to lose weight for his album. It reminded me of all the things I told myself. I used to just watch people lose weight, but don’t do anything for my health. I used to say certain clothes look ugly on me, no matter how pretty it is, or I can never look a certain way because of my weight. It isn’t true. It’s because I haven’t bothered to put effort.
Well, now I am well over my borderline overweight and I feel it is affecting my health and I still haven’t done anything to change. I think it is about time I put effort to change, and maybe even hit some goals I had before!
Besides physical health, I hope it helps mentally as well by giving me confidence, knowing I succeeded and CAN be who I didn’t think I could be.
Other than my health, I noticed I keep thinking “I wish.” One of the recurring “I wish” is… “I wish to visit Japan.” Well, now that I have a job (for at least 3 years anyways…), I should save up money and make that wish come true! I am also practicing a little bit of Japanese here and there. I hope I learn enough by the time I get there!
I had another thing that I wanted to include in this package of to-do’s. Instead of keeping it, I shall modify it. The original idea was to do something I never did before and increase the quantity each year. For instance, I do one thing in first year, two things in second year, etc. Instead of doing something I never did, I want to change it to something I rarely do. This gives room for me to do something I like, but don’t have time for (or feel too lazy to do).
A part of me felt a bit lost when I didn’t have goals to aim for. This helps me stay motivated and have something to look forward to while keeping my health and interest in mind.
- Lose weight to reach healthy weight.
- Study Japanese and save money for Japan
- Do something I rarely do each year, incrementing it by 1 each year (i.e. 1st year 1 time, 2nd year 2 times, etc.)
Aites, let’s hope I fulfill this in 5 years!!!!!!!!
