For the first time in my life I had actual goals in life and ambitions and everything I've worked hard for got ruined because of the pandemic, so I give up because my destiny is to suffer like a shitty sitcom protagonist. For 2021 I'd like to just not catch covid again, not die, not be on the verge of death again, and maybe get the job I'm trying to get since last year when I graduated.

Maybe I'll try to get my own place or go live in one of my friends' apartment too because she and another friend talked about living together to avoid insane rent prices.

Same, anon. I just got my first full-time office job last year and immediately lost it at the beginning of this year and had to go back to retail. It fucking blows. I guess my goal for 2020 is just to get back into an office again.
Ideally, I'd also like to start a side hustle, but we'll see.

I have 1 main goal; that being quitting fast fashion and cultivating my own style, and a side goal of improving my skincare routine.

So far, I've been trying to compile photos of outfits I like via pinterest and trying to research about undertone and the like. I plan to then comprise a moodboard of these outfits and then analyse them for cuts, colour palette, essence etc, evaluate whether or not they would realistically look good on me, then attempt to recreate it irl by buying something that I could use to style my already existing clothes that way (possibly something from a popular brand, so I can resell it with ease). If it doesn't look good/I have second thoughts, I'll try to resell it

In my case I had interviews canceled, some of them on the day they were supposed to happen, so it's kinda similar. I recently found a job at a call center and while the pay is so low it's almost minimum wage I'll be able to put something on my resume and socialize until things get better. But given my timing it's straight up a miracle I found it, thank god it's considered "essential" so it was still hiring. And the company seems pretty good overall. But I didn't study so hard for 5 years to the point of neglecting my physical health for barely above minimum wage. I hope you can find whatever it is you're looking for at an office where you won't have to deal with crazy asshole customers who don't care about hygiene asap. We have to stay strong.

This is more of a vague post about goals and stuff.

So I'll be 30 soon and it's crazy that in this coming year I could solve issues I've had for 15+ years with not much relative effort.

Like in 2020 I undertook 2 relatively small actions that changed my life SO MUCH for the better.

I got a good bra. Until then I didn't really know my actual bra size. My shoulders have indents from straps because I didn't realise they weren't supposed to carry most of your tit weight. I took around 2 hours of research along with 2 hours of department store shopping. Now I have my brand, my size and my model that fit me like a glove. And I don't have backpain, sore shoulders or headaches because of it anymore. The wires don't stick into my ribcage and they wires don't stick into my pits or anything. What used to be a daily annoyance for nearly 2 decades is now…not an issue. And that's with 4 hours of focused effort.

The other small action was an impulse buy for a good pillow for like 100 dollars after my first paycheck at my new job. I have sleeping issues, which included me randomly feeling like the pillow is hard as a rock and not being able to sleep on it even if it's very soft. Even though this fancy pillow is pretty solid, it's contoured in like the perfect way to let my neck relax? And I went from an average of 7 hours a night to sleeping for so long it became a problem kek. I'll sleep 9.5-10 hours if I have no alarm, which I feel does my body wonders.

Such a ramble, but I guess my point is that I feel like every year I have these lofty and ambitious goals to learn a language and lose 10kg and do yoga and go to X location, while that's great I feel like those small life changing things like my examples are so overlooked and uneranalysed. Because honestly that's your everyday quality of life you're improving vs. potentially adding on yet another time and energy consuming activity.

Do you guys have any similar examples of what I'm talking about?

No. 703662

>>703653
Ohh I feel you anon! Literally the same thing as you, invested more than initially planned in a pillow, legitimately changed my life, less headaches, less neck pain, who would have thought honestly?

Setting overly ambitious goals is good but we should not limit ourselves to that because it can lead to disappointment so often. I believe a real way to being happy in life is living like you do, with small ideas that are fully doable and improve your quality of life. And who knows, once quality of life is improved maybe you can tackle some bigger beast, but not make it some ultimate goal you'll later think back on and evaluate your performance on.

it's interesting you both mentioned pillows because this year I got a buckwheat hull pillow because I was tired of buying ones that would end up all lumpy and horrible. when I first bought it I was shocked at how solid it is, kinda like sleeping on a sandbag lol but I do like a firm pillow. now I've had it around 4 months and it's perfect for me, I love it. pillows are important!

Also I want to attempt journaling? It's just an experiment to see if it's as beneficial as people say, if I don't like it I won't bother. I feel like I would be super self conscious writing about my deep and personal feelings, so I'm going to try more like a record of what I've been doing, eating, watching etc.

I think my wishes for new years are already coming true, im getting my braces done soon. I have two very crooked teeth that i cannot brush so easily so i had holes in them which sucked, but today the dentist cleaned them out and filled them. I also have a baby tooth still which my previous dentist didnt remove, not really surprising considering that dentist was a huge asshole.

Im getting that tooth pulled out so yeah. And after that i'll get my braces, at age 19. It really does suck alot, but money doesn't really grow on trees so i expected it to be this long until i got some.

I am a journaling shill and I hope you like it anon! It's different for everyone, and even within my own journal I'll sometimes withhold my feelings because I think "I don't wanna read this garbage in the future!" and just writing about fun things that happened, or sometimes the opposite. When I do write my emotions down, I like to think of it the act of handwriting my feelings down as a way to physically remove and lock those feelings into a piece of paper.

I want to at least lose my quarantine weight. For years I've been scared of stepping on the scale, but I know I just have to suck it up and invest in one. I developed bad eating habits when I was in college, but I'm in a more mentally and emotional stable place in my life where I know that the numbers I see will fuel me to do better rather than making me spiral into a pit of self loathing and depression. I'll start with getting off my quarantine weight, and if I can accomplish that, I want to start building muscle and strength for when it's safe to return to the gym and go rock climbing again! It'd be nice to tone my body at the same time since I'm short and carry weight terribly lol.

I've been doing a lot better since recovering from my last depressive episode that was caused by my last break up. I think I'm doing better than ever and I'm very happy with the person I'm becoming, and I want to do more for myself so I can continue to appreciate myself.

This year I realized that I push everyone away, make no new contacts and self-isolate because I'm ashamed of the state of my life and how little life-experience I have compared to peers and I don't want to acknowledge that to others out of emberassment. But self-isolating is basically worsening my situation even further. I need to stop self-sabotaging. I'm already largely socially isolated if it wheren't for my family I live with at home, but if I keep on this road I know I'll end up dying as an old lady with no one to attend my funeral because I had no social contacts or a family of my own. My new years resolution is to work hard on my life so I can build something I'm at least able to face others with and work on creating and maintaining new social contacts so I won't end up a recluse.

For 2020 my overall resolution was to get more sunlight. Basically just spend more time outside and in the sun.
Of course once March hit my resolution became a bit harder to accomplish but I think I did actually spend more time outside tan usual, or at least made a significant effort.

For 2021 I'm still kinda figuring out what I was my resolution to be but have a few ideas in mind.

I know I do these very year but this year some bad shit went down so I'm more serious about keeping up with my goals for 2021:

>Create more. Learn some more crafts. Actually put my work out there.

> Get serious about exercising. Have an actual routine.
>Finish school instead of quitting again.
>Be more confident and comfortable with myself
>Smile more, even if it hurts.

I don't mean to put anyone down, but these (as well as many other replies on this thread) seem very demanding. armchair but humans tend to overestimate their own capacities, which serves to push us to do more, but if you're not realistic with your expectations you might end up with more anxiety and disappointment instead of pride over personal achievements.
I think that for all sorts of achievements, be it in academia, health, work or in any sector whatsoever it is better to start small, and then use the positive feelings of achieving the smaller things to snowball into bigger projects.
Last New Years my resolution was to learn how to cut my own hair. The first few times produced piss poor results, but it gave me the incentive to better my skills in order to not have my hair look like that of a genderspecial retard. I concentrated and finally got results that suited me, and in the meanwhile I had gotten used to concentrating on myself for a good hour at a time. I then started using that same energy to focus on my skin, then on exercise, then on organizing my living space….
I am ending this year in a more positive setting and with more life skills than I could have imagined a year ago, and the process has been very organic. If I were to challenge myself to learn all of this from the first day of this year, I would have had too much anxiety to start and would probably felt defeated mid-year after not having performed up to my ridiculous standards. Also, I would never challenge anyone else to learn the same things in a year, it would seem unfair.

tl;dr rome wasn't built in a day & being kinder to yourself when it comes to personal development is good

I feel everyone almost has the same goals, it's sad, why did society/life shove us to the side? So much of my NEETdom and concurrent lack of life skills/achievement was caused by social isolation/lack of investment from other people.



I did do two things in 2020 that were important to me tho, I finally quit smoking weed and stopped being in contact with several shitty guys I dated on and off 2017-2019.

however quarantine made me fuck up in many ways in 2020

I also promise to lurk the fatty threads just enough so I can get back in shape pre-covid but not too much that I end up lurking anachan threads

I will pay off the remaining debts.
I will finally get everything I don't want anymore sold and gone.
I will get a new job.
I WILL move out this year at all costs.
I will shred my remaining consoomer impulses and spend my money on more things that either help me improve my appearance, health & character or help me to create instead, because that's what really makes me feel satisfied in the long run.
I will get better at making music and drawing.
I might pick up learning another language, sewing, styling wigs or doing doll faceups.
When I get my shit together, I want to get in contact with my old friends again.
..And also try hard not to get Corona.
