A New Year can be very daunting for all of us. All of this goal-setting can be very overwhelming; I don’t think any of you are failures for already giving up! That’s why I don’t do it. I introduce new habits whenever I think that I need them! For example, I am now working on the plank position. I started by doing it for 30 seconds every morning and night but now I’m bumping it up to a minute. I keep fit because it makes me feel better – the physical results are just a side-effect!
However, setting resolutions can be an attractive idea. That’s why I thought it could be interesting to do a ‘February Goals’ post! Just because the New Year hype is over doesn’t mean that we can’t still be challenging ourselves day-to-day.
Write 5000 words on my novel
To all of the authors out there, I know 5000 doesn’t seem a lot. But we’ve got to start somewhere and small goals are really the only way for me! Don’t expect this novel to published anywhere soon. No doubt it will be another draft I am too insecure to share with anyone.
Read 100 pages a day
Towards the end of last year I was focusing a lot on other hobbies, so reading wasn’t in the forefront of my mind. Now that school has started again it feels more necessary to be reading a lot! Fiction also helps me develop ideas for my own books.
Sell my first scrunchies!
I’ve been working on an Etsy shop for a little while. Though everything I have the products and the website, I don’t have the packaging. This month I’d like to work on that and hopefully post my first order. Etsy isn’t something I want to do in the long run – I just thought it would be a good way to fundraise for GirlGuides! And if I somehow found the time then I’d make stickers too. I’ll link the shop here. All purchases are much appreciated!
Do you set monthly goals? Have you kept up with the New Year’s resolutions you set?

uuh this sounds nice!! Good luck, you got this! 😀
I have never really decided on monthly goals, just overall goals that I can accomplish throughout the year, but this time, I’m doing something a bit different, and I’m doing goals every three months. My goals for January – February – March are just having fun on my last month abroad, organize my life for going back to my old routine, declutter my room and read about eight books per month. ^^

That sounds amazing! Hope you achieve your goals. Especially 8 books a month, that’s really challenging 🙂 I consistently clean out different parts of my room so I don’t need to fully declutter very often but I might do a bit of spring cleaning aha 😆 Good luck with all of your goals x
