I started this year with no goals, not even one but I had a motto I wanted to go by and I had saved it everywhere I could be reminded of it until it became a part of me. Even as at the time of writing, I still have my year's motto on my phone screen picture and it's been of a great reminder.
So yeah, I only had a motto until that motto led me to creating goals monthly as I go through the year until it's July. I'm not sharing what the motto is but the first goals I had to set because of the motto in the second month of this year were, "Upgrade my life by building/destroying habits"
The goal was to build new habits like sleeping better, reading, working out learning a skill and actually doing things for myself that I usually didn't bother about. And destroying past habits like procrastinating, taking too much sugar, endless scrolling and others I can't continue with.
I realized that I wanted changes in my life and doing the exact things I did in the past years won't bring the change I desire, it's why I decided to dedicate this year to actually changing the things I usually do everyday before. The big change will happen when small changes happen.
I have achieved a lot of the goals I set out to do for this year but I'm still not there yet because there's a lot I have unfinished. Being good at a skill is my major unfinished goal but I like that I've been able to figure out the exact kind of skills I want to build when I finally decide to put in effort.
My priorities have changed a lot as my goals keep changing and my mind shifting because of growth and continuous learning. The priority changes are not negative at all, they just pushing me in the right directions that I need to take as I continue this second half of the year and ahead.
I've learned to love myself more, be more positive to myself and towards people, I've learned to understand what it is I need and prioritise rightly within my wants. The year has gone past half but I don't feel like I've wasted the first half, I feel positive about the things I've learned and still learning. I know the rest of the year will be good.
