Goals for the 2nd Half of 2024

　2024 started off by me coming back to Japan in February and taking some time off from University. However, I’m not taking this as a time for me to just rest and be lazy, but by doing a lot of things I have wanted to do. I am very fortunate that my parents are letting me be a student for this time, so I want to make the most out of it. So, I’m going to write about my goals for the latter half of 2024.

  1. Study Wine

　I have always been interested in wine, so I’m going to take this time for me to study wine instead of what I need to at uni. I have been working at restaurants in hotels, so wine has always been very close to me. Also, my mom drinks a lot of New Zealand white wine. I also drink a decent amount of rosé and sparkling. I also started to go to wine school from May and now studying for a test in August.

  1. Losing Weight

　I have been saying that I want to lose weight for a long time, but this year is going to be the year that I go through with it. I have been eating quite some amount of chips after dinner, and because of that I have scaled my heaviest weight in my life. And that ended up with me not being able to wear most of my clothes beautifully. So that really told me that I need to lose weight. I know that I’m eating too much to the amount of activity I do daily. So I think that I can lose weight easily if I just eat less than I do right now. I don’t really like to workout that much, so I’m going to focus on how much and what I’m eating. But of course I will be moving my body as much as I can in the meantime.

  1. Manage My SNS Properly

　I have also always been saying that I want to upload one blog every week and manage my Instagram and X, and I haven’t been able to every year. I’m going to make this year that I do it right for this as well. I’m going to aim for blogs once a week, Instagram once every 5 days and stories once a day, and once a day for X. I have goals which I would like to achieve via social media, so I would like to work towards that. I have so much free time this year, so there should be enough time for me to upload. Also if there is any request for this blog or any other social media, please feel free to send me a message.

  1. Visit A Lot of Places

　As I’ve said this year I have the most free time ever in my life, so I would like to visit a lot of places. However, I don’t want to just go to a lot of places, I would like to visit somewhere that can increase my culture or level up my aesthetic sense. I have already visited a museum and went to a golf and rugby game. I would like to go see Kabuki, visit more art museums and exhibitions in the latter half. I think this is a good time for me to upgrade myself as a person, so I would like to actively upgrade myself by ways that are not able from working or studying.

　This is the end of my goals for the latter half of 2024. As I’ve wrote before it is very crucial for me to have goals, so I’ve wrote this post here. (It’s also for me to count myself accountable.) There have been too many times that I haven’t been able to fulfill my goals, so I am really going to work hard this time to end the year with me saying “I fulfilled all my dreams!”. Please let me know what your goals for the latter half of 2024 is in the comment. See you next week!

2020 Resolutions

Happy New Year!!

How was everyone’s holidays? I was at my home eating special Japanese New Year’s food, while watching TV. I wanted to publish this blog maybe until the 3rd but I kind of took some time off and enjoyed some time with my family. As I said in the last blog, I’m going to share with you my new year resolution. I love setting resolutions in general so I have a lot, but the four I will share with you today are my most big and general ones.

Live Gracefully and Elegantly

This is my biggest resolution of the year. I wrote out my ideal women figure and who I look up to as a woman this year and all of them had gracefulness and elegance as a foundation. There is not much I would like to do specifically but I would just like to have this mindset at all time. However, there are some things I would like to keep in mind specifically like keeping my room clean and putting everything back in their spot and have leisurely time. If there is a woman that ticks all of my ideal women type, I would like to always ask myself if that woman would do the exact thing I’m about to do.

Make More Friends

This year will be a challenging and a hard-working year for me because I’m transferring to a university in Australia from February. Going into a new university will mean that I’m going to meet a lot of new people, so I would like to make more friends. Even though I think I have a lot of friends as of now, I will like to make more friends from all over the world. My last university was very international but I made friends from Korea, Japan, and Bangladesh mostly so I would love to make friends from European countries as well. I don’t really get shy and I haven’t had any problems making friends so I will try to keep that up and challenge myself to be more outgoing.

Make Plans and Do It as Planned

I make plans when doing anything. For example, studying for exams, what I’m doing for that day, everyday chores, and literally everything I do from day to day. However, it is rare that I am able to finish it as I planned. So, I would like to make plans and finish them in time. Until now I planned way more than what I’m able to get done in the amount of time I allocate. So this year I am going to plan with more allowance in time and make less impossible plans. Also, I am going to make it my first priority to finish my plans everyday.

Live Healthily & Lose Weight

From February I’m going back to living on my own as a university student, so there is a high possibility of getting less sleep and not eating as much vegetables. So, I would like to pay attention to these details and live a healthy lifestyle. Also, this kind of lifestyle will help me to lose some weight and keep that weight. I would of course try to fit in a workout and get my calorie consumption higher. Then I can lose weight healthily and keep that good style easily. Of course as a university student, studying is what I need to prioritize, so I will be easy on myself before exams. But I would be basically strict on myself and say no excuses to myself and keep the healthy lifestyle for the whole year.

This is the end of my 2020 goals. As I have wrote above I have more goals small and big, and I also have a “100 Bucket List” which I set every year. For this blog, I would like to keep the goal of uploading every week. Also, I would like to advertise my blog to more people so that there are more people that know and read my blog. During this year, I would love to work with a company as well. Do you have any goals for this year? For me having goals or not changes my enrichment of the total year by a lot. So, I recommend everyone to have some kind of goal for every year.
