New Year Resolutions!

In 2013, I want to be able to build upon the achievements of the past year  and continue the progress that I have made in coping with my depression. I managed to lose 2 stone in weight in training for my ride to Paris but since finishing that at the end of September I have not done much in the way of exercise. The last thing I want is for all that weight to pile back on and waste all the good work I did. So, getting back into a regular routine of exercise is my first goal of the new year. More specifically: lose another 2 stone. If I managed it once I can manage it again. It may be that I need to sign up for another ‘challenge’ to motivate me though! If anyone has any ideas, let me know!!

I am of course out of work now, and once I feel well enough I will need to look at getting back into employment. I hope to work on this with my therapist in the new year and hopefully I will be able to get back to earning as soon as possible – I have to balance this with the fact that I cannot rush things, my health is more important than anything.

I also need to concentrate on my writing, but primarily as a hobby and not get too worked up about the possibility of earning money from it. It is something that I enjoy and something that I am good at. So I should do it as much as possible. I know I can dedicate more time to it. Playing less championship manager and watching less crap telly would help!

Last year taught me that a lot than change in 12 months, a lot can be achieved. If I can be healthier and happier this time next year, then I’ll be delighted. Things won’t be perfect in 12 months’ time but if I can look back and be proud of the effort I have put in, then that is all I can ask for.

I wish you all the best with your new year resolutions or any other goals you may have in progress already.

If you wish to share them, then please feel free to post on here and we can all keep each other going!

Happy 2013, Jason x
