2015 Resolutions

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”
Louisa May Alcott

Hi guys… It’s been 13 days since the new year started and I am totally aware that this must have been my first or second post, but I believe it’s actually never late to do anything good. I made this list on 31st Dec’14 and wrote it on my white-board, but now I really need to clear up the board as I need it to make some notes on a new book I’ve just bought, so I thought I’ll type it up and get a print of it. And as this is my personal blog, I thought this one will make a good post. So here’s my 2015 Resolution’s list:

  1. Maintaining a personal-journal and writing at-least 1 page everyday.
  2. Maintaining a gratitude-journal and writing 10 things that I’m grateful for everyday.
  3. Writing 500 words everyday. And also completing my book!Article
  4. Completing the German self-tutor course.24057450-danke-thanks-in-the-german-language-grunge-rubber-stamp-over-a-white-background-vector-illustration
  5. Completing the research for my book.Homepagecarroussel-research1
  6. Walking/jogging 6 kms everyday, without exceptions!1
  7. Reading at-least 2 books per week and 100 books by the end of the year.3
  8. Getting my OCD in check. 4b88b7eb453baaab2102d71a4b9096ba
  9. Build a great metabolism and strength (so that I can join Himalayan Mountaineering Institute next year!) 1569565975001_3441300359001_1932549107001-strength-training-metabolism-still
  10. Start meditating 2 times a day. Concentrate on calming and reducing stress (as my stress levels are round-the-clock high!)  woman-meditating-sunset
  11. Take spa and massages every 15-20 days 🙂 Aroma Therapy

For now I have set only 11 goals for 2015, but I guess these will be enough to keep me busy the entire year… 🙂

What are your new year resolutions???

  1. Heena, those goals sound wonderful! It’s never too late to set goals. I’d like to do 6, 9, & 11! Best of luck with your goals.

    1. Thanks a lot Rob 🙂
      All the best to you too!

  2. The OCD picture made me laugh! Girl, the struggle is real! I’m adding the resolution not to fight with my brother this year!… sigh l_l

    1. Thanks Michelle!
      HEhehe… Good you mentioned it, I’ll also add this one 😉

      1. Ill wish you luck… I know im hoing to need it! :facepalm:

        1. Thanks! To you too! lol!

          1. I meant going* not hoing there LOL Yeah, right now I’m not texting him back. Putting that into practice right now… omg it’s so hard!!! T_T

            1. I totally get it! I guess brothers are born just to fight with their sisters and irritate them!

              1. Yusss! If that isn’t a true statement, I don’t know what is! Ugh!

  3. An impressive list of resolutions, Heena – especially your desire to get fit in order to join the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute! That is more than impressive! If you keep going on all fifteen resolutions you’ll have no time for anything else. Take care to get some rest as well. I hope it all goes really well for you.

    1. Thanks a lot Millie! <3
      My hubby is a fitness junkie, whereas I'm a too lazy to do anything! lol! He's been wanting to join this mountaineering course from last two years but he won't go without me. So I finally decided to spend one year (2015) to get all fit and healthy and build some serious stamina and surprise him by enrolling for the beginner's program in 2016 (hopefully!) 🙂
      And yea, I'll take your advice for rest seriously… thanks dear 😀

  4. I absolutely LOVE your list!! Wow, absolutely amazing!! I, too, am writing in a personal journal everyday as well as a gratitude journal. Reflection is definitely key! Also, meditation is a great way to get stress in check and to recenter!! I love your spa/massage idea!! That sounds fabulous!! Way to rock 2015!! You’re beautiful! Have a lovely day! XOXO 🙂

    1. Thanks a lot Kristen!
      Reflection is indeed the key! And I absolutely love spa/massage, I believe in treating myself every ones in a while 😉
      Thanks again dear! <3 (lots of kisses!)

  5. Great resolutions Heena and I am sure you will be able to make them all, just remember to relax and enjoy as well 🙂
    Btw, I loveeed your OCD picture, LOL.

    1. Thanks Galit! Yea, I’ll keep it in mind 🙂
      hehehhe… it’s actually good 😉

  6. Of course the reading, writing and fitness ones were great but it was the goal to be fit for the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute that caught my eye!

    1. Thanks Dagny, as I was telling Miliie, my hubby is a fitness junkie, whereas I’m a too lazy to do anything! lol! He’s been wanting to join this mountaineering course from last two years but he won’t go without me. So I finally decided to spend one year (2015) to get all fit and healthy and build some serious stamina and surprise him by enrolling for the beginner’s program in 2016 (hopefully!) 😀

      1. Best of luck! I think that is so exciting. I don’t know what altitude you live at, but when I was camping in the mountains of Colorado at around 8,000 feet, what a difference in stamina between us coming from 5000 feet and the people coming from 1000 feet. I really felt pretty much the same until we went higher, but then – ugh – I was lucky to be able to take three steps before stopping to rest. And this was hiking on a trail! Not much you can really do to prepare for a much higher elevation, though, but surely it being in good aerobic shape would help.

        1. OMG! You are correct! I guess I’ll have to build one hell of a stamina… The worst part is I can’t handle temps. below 10 degree Celsius… lol! But still I’m gonna give it a try… I hope I don’t freeze up there!

  7. I wish you luck with your list. Mine involves mostly writing projects, but there’s a bit of self-improvement on there too. Definitely with you on the stress-reduction!

    1. Thanks a lot! I wish you luck for your resolutions too! 🙂

  8. That’s a lot to do this year! I only wish I could read two books a week – that would be fun 🙂 I could handle going to the spa, I think. I think about what I’m grateful for every day, but it might be an interesting exercise to go the next step and write the list. Good luck on your goals!

    1. Thanks a lot Janna (or is it Jannat?) 🙂
      Writing what we feel seems to magnify the appreciation we feel!
      Thanks for stopping by 😀

  9. Writing 500 words a day is a great goal! No resolutions here other than trying to my best self and be me 🙂

    1. Thanks! Such a lovely thought 🙂

  10. OCD and Running, i could relate to these two points 🙂

  11. These are a lot of resolutions for one year! I’ll be lucky if I achieve just one – writing. But I’m glad to see your enthusiasm and I know that’ll carry forward. I believe in you!

    1. Awww… Thanks a lot Sue! 🙂

  12. Excellent goals!

    1. Thanks a lot Felicia 🙂
