Hello my beautiful friends,
Welcome back ! Thankful that we made it through to 2016 😀 YAY!
With school and work coming on full swing it might be hard to sit at a corner to re-evaluate your goals. As much as I agree with some people that new year resolution shouldn’t just be an annual affair but I take this new beginning as an opportunity for a fresh start.
I am a massive planner person. I need a productive planner to jot down my thoughts and daily chores. It somehow keeps me on track. Being a Gemini person doesn’t help with my whirling thoughts. I know technology is well advanced but I am conventional. I really like the feeling of writing and canceling your work once done. You get what i mean 😉
1.The magic to think clear
Regardless of your profession. It is always good to have a goal in life. At any point of your life remember to draw up a chart (something personalized) . The reason why i find this being really helpful compared to having a vision in your head is, bringing it out to the physical world. When we do up a chart, the visual colors and pictures somehow prints in our head. This help us to retain the information and desires in a sub-conscious level. And it is best to do this every few years as our goals might have been fulfilled and our new dreams need to be in the chart !
2. Deadline
I have to make realistic goals. I may wish to do so many stuff but i forget i am working and my “free time” is very limited. So this year i hope to set one deadline per week to assist me and reduce the amount of stress i bring upon myself unknowingly.
3. Doing what you love
We often end up in situation where you are forced to do something that you may not enjoy so much. But we just “keep swimming” like how Dory would say. Although it is a good trait to push on , we should also be aware of the projects/work you take up on. Learning to say no is a trait that i hope to work on. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
4. Motivation
Work is hectic. There is no denying in this. But it will be good to write out what you have accomplished for that day to reflect on your productivity. It somehow drives me to do more for the next day! I hope to remove toxic thoughts in mind and learn to love myself for who I am – not that i don’t. Some days when the going gets tough you tend to feel worthless or useless. And this method is a definite morale booster that I hope to incorporate.
5. Healthy Lifestyle
Having a balanced life is the fundamental criteria for a happy life. Family, work , personal welfare. We need to work out a system that suits our lifestyle so that we can keep both our emotional and physical state well. I hope my plan on doing regular yoga and drinking 2L water per day will work and keep my stress at bay 😀
These are my goals or rather things i would like to improve on myself. What are yours?
Spread love not hate 
I totally get the list and charts!! I write a list everyday and it is so fun checking the stuff off 🙂
Haha! Yes someone can relate ! It’s just gives some sort of accomplishment 😀
Yes it does. To see the things crossed off, it is so satisfying and you feel like wow I got so much done today! 🙂
All the best with your goals 😉
Thank you ! And I wish you the same 😀
I’ve been using my “list system” for work for the last 20 years 🙂 Goal – finally growing up, fully! (https://ithinkisayido.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/twenty16/)
All the very best to you throughout the year and here’s to achieving our goals! 🙂
Thank you ! Indeed it is a awesome way to organize 🙂 here’s to achieving our goals !🍹
Blessing from other Gemini lovely update thank you for sharing
Thank you fellow Gemini! Glad you liked it 🙂
Sounds like you have things down to a fine art. I hope things work out in 2016 the way you hope. Sometimes life gets in the way a little bit and you need to make an allowance for that.
My own personal goal for 2016…..to keep waking up in the morning as long as possible.

Yes ! Not being rigid but just creating a little stepping stone for me 🙂 Thank you for the wishes !
What a lovely personal goal ! Here’s to good health 🍹
Great goals for the year. I’m a big list person myself. If I don’t write myself a “to do” list every day I find that I’m just not productive. But my main resolution this year is simply to live in the now and enjoy each moment of life. Have a great year 🙂
That’s lovely ! A toast to all ” list person ” and good health ! I wish you all the best for your resolution ! 😄
Thank you so much Jessie.
I love planners and writing everything down! I enjoyed this post! Good luck with school and work. I’ll be on the same boat soon and I’m just trying to take advantage of the next few days before school begins again! 🙂
Haha, glad you enjoyed the post! Enjoy all the free time you get, it’s super precious ! 😂 and good luck with school!
I enjoyed reading it… lovely
Thank you! Glad you liked it 😊
I’m actually a Gemini as well. A pretty good planner and multi tasker and do a lot most days
Hello fellow gemini ! I am sure you are, love your work 🙂
Thank you for saying that. I do write a lot and make up my own styles and wrote haikus and acrostics that I never did before a cpl months ago. The story boarding I do is different too 🙂
I love the motivation part! Writing a list and reflecting on what you have done over time encourages you to keep up with your levels of productivity. Sometimes I even have a ‘Done’ list so I can add stuff that wasn’t originally planned in my calendar and feel good about what I’ve achieved. I also love your healthy goals – to drink more water and do yoga! Great stress-reliever and good for flexibility, tone and strength. Go get it!
Thank you dearie !its just reverse psychology I guess ..it’s extremely useful ! I hope to stick to my healthy goals 😂

SOUNDETH GOOD!
Jessie, I am totally not a planner haha. But I also get the enjoyment of task completion. Hopefully this year I will get more organized! Good luck on your goals.
Jessie, Being Pisces I don’t normally plan and I try to live for the day. I have found that the realistic and the unrealistic goals that I have set don’t come into fruition. Yes, I will try your method. Thanks Anand Bose from Kerala.

All I can think of is you: hamburgers and organic
Bananas, juices, never soda, and a complete

The satisfaction you have. Inner peace even.
You cook after volunteering, after the kids are
Down for the night. You go there and back then home
To ride your bike to work. Teach me how to calm
Myself won’t you? One point at five points:
There is no chemistry to teach the zen you have.
Perfect weather makes yellow leaves stand out.
Small winds coerce more travel. Sharp shadows
Waver. One beacon lures me home to paint autumn.
Excellent advice! I especially like your idea of writing our what you have accomplished for the day. It not only motivates you, but it reduces stress because you get to see how much you got done as opposed to focusing on what you were not able to do.
Yes absolutely agree! It has been such a positive change for the past 4 weeks itself. Always focus on the good!
Wonderful post, Jessie! Thanks for helping keep things in perspective.
Thanks Jeff. Glad you liked it !
