Hey guys,
Instead of planning for the holidays, my perfectionistic self is more busy planning next year. I feel that 2020 is going to be my year. I say this every year, but this time it's different. Lately, I've been going through some personal things, things I like to keep private. But it's giving me a different way of looking at my life. I've realised in these past weeks that I want to live life how I always say I want to. I never made steps to really do things. Like eating vegetarian or writing more or working out. I have this perfect picture in my mind of how I want to live but I just don't do it.
But 2020 is going to be different. I am already making plans for how I want to change things and I've already started changing things. Because I want to change different aspects of my life I've decided NOT to do it all at once. I think that the chances of it failing are much higher when I try to do many things at the same time. So I've started with increasing my writing. I often say that I would like to become an author, I really want to write a book or a book series. But I never write. How can I become better at writing when I never do it? Well, I can't. So I am trying to write more often. Not long pieces, but just small stories or blog posts. This way I can improve my grammar and my writing style. Besides, my goal for next year is to plan out a novel. I've already got an idea in my mind for a long time but I want to plan this out, create characters and just put it on paper!
Besides my increase of writing, I am eating more and more vegetarian. Because I don't want to end up with deficiencies in vitamines I am taking this slowly so I can do my research. But I've already said it out loud to my family and friends, so I will say it here too: from January first and onward I will eat vegetarian. I am not going vegan because my family doesn't want to cook vegan. So I will be vegetarian and mostly vegan as I already don't drink milk, I don't eat butter. Most of the dairy I eat is incorporated in other items. Except for cheese, it will be hard to eventually get rid of my cheese addiction... But I am okay with only being vegetarian for a while, so I have time to adapt my eating habits.
I was so busy doing my squats, I didn't know that this picture was taken... :)
During these weeks I am really starting to miss working out, but I don't like the gym that I am currently enrolled in. My subscription ends December 31, so I still have time to find something else. I would love to sport with friends and maybe on music. Because I am changing my eating habits, I also want to tackle my fitness habits. But I realise that I need help to get started and to actually go. And at the moment I don't enjoy going to the gym, so that keeps me away from it too. Still, I want to lose weight and for that, it needs more than only change my eating habits. Last weekend I went to another gym with Bram, and I really enjoyed working out again. I am so busy with university stuff that I don't make time to work out. But I really enjoy moving my body again. I will try to keep this consistent.
These 3 aspects of my life are things I really want to change, I'm already putting effort into them, but 2020 will be the year I break my old habits and create new ones. I am really looking forward to this next year, next decade even. I hope it won't go by as fast as 2019 did. It feels like January was only a couple of months ago. I hope you enjoyed this post. I will say that these are things I do for myself, and I am sharing it with you guys to also keep myself accountable. I have good hope and motivation.
Love,
Julia
