What kind of 2020 will you make for yourself?

in Be Awesome4 years ago (edited)

Happy new years everyone! Love you all!

What will your 2020 look like? How will you make it so?

What happens will happen! We can’t change where we happen to be standing at this very moment but we can always change which direction we move in. Which direction are you planning on moving this year and how do you plan on doing it?

This is essentially the same as a New Years resolution but without focusing as much on the label, sometimes the bigger a deal we make of something, the less likely we are to uphold it, I know that’s true for me.

I have a pretty clear goal for the year, my goal for the year is to set clear, manageable goals but to be flexible with them.

I tend to go back and forth between being really strict with myself and forcing motivation, and then loosening up too much and forgetting about the direction I want to move in, staying still for too long.

In the past two years I set an intention to find a vague balance between will and acceptance and this year that balance is becoming more specific.

I will set clear goals every month and focus primarily on one or two tasks or ideas. I will make them ambitious enough that I want to work hard, but modest enough where they are reasonable. I won’t spend much time thinking about every aspect of my life all the time. I have too many things I am trying to juggle, if I don’t spend enough time focusing on one at a time I will drop al of them like I have done in the past.

The things I want to do this year are all things I’ve mentioned before.

  • Finish 4 novels that I started, two of which are nearly half written
  • Re-record the album of songs I’ve been toying around with for 10 years and finally made demos for
  • Find my own students to become fully independent
  • learn more about TCM including all points on the 12 main meridians
  • getting into djing
  • getting into rap
  • organizing some kind of community events
  • playing more shows
  • reviewing my Chinese and Japanese
  • learning Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Arabic, Hebrew, Zulu, Cantonese, or essentially any other language I have a good chance to learn.
    -exercise seriously
  • meditate seriously

There are more too. I will focus on 2 specific projects a month and not make a big deal of them, I’ll just have a clear goal that I’m working towards and not getting too stressed about whether I finish or not, but trying hard to finish.

I had tried to start this in December by creating a #motivate chat in the Be Awesome Discord, but then visa issues, moving, and having lots of work problems threw me off. But most everything is settled now so it’s time to make it work.

My goals for January will be

  • find at least 5 private students
  • Finish up to chapter 15 of this first novel I have half written

I will continue trying to be serious about meditation, exercising and having other good habits but I won’t make them central just yet.

What are you goals for 2020? What will you do to accomplish them?

Hope you're able to achieve all the things you want to achieve, they seem very doable for you :D

My goals for 2020 are pretty much the same as they've been every other year and I will probably continue not accomplishing it [insert eyeroll here]. I'll keep trying and get closer picometre by painful picometre :)

Sounds realistic but what is reality really? ;>)

Which direction are you planning on moving this year and how do you plan on doing it?

Only to the left and I will do it step by step.

All kidding aside, I merely aim to keep improving as a human being and I mean that in the best way possible.

Also, it would be awesome to finally meet this year but if it needs to be 2021 or 2022 that's fine too. I'll keep practicing patience for the greater good.
