My 'rest of the year' resolutions

So its fair to say I haven't been very good at blogging so far! Over the summer I kept thinking of possible blog ideas but life got in the way and I never got round to writing about them. But I have just finished my first half term of my new job and upon some reflection its time to sort my life out and get into a proper routine! So I've decided to set myself some 'rest of the year' resolutions.

Blog more 

This is a pretty obvious one but I need to blog more and develop some regular features on my blog.

Improve my fitness

Every since I got back off of holiday I just haven't had the motivation to go too the gym. I need to get into the routine of going to the gym straight after work rather than my usual straight home and into my PJ's. On top of going to the gym I want to try some other activities in order to keep fit like train for a run, pole dancing classes or join a netball team.

Focus on my health

Sorting out my health is probably my main priority. My skin is a real indicator of my health and at the moment it seems every day my skin has another break out of spots or a flair of eczema. I would love too have clear skin by Christmas and in order to achieve this I need to start eating healthier, sleeping more, drinking more water and taking supplements.     

Sort out my finances

I have never been very good with money. No matter how hard I try to budget and save I always end up spending all my money on tat and can never understand where my money has gone. This needs to stop! I have bought a money organiser for my Filofax to try and keep a record of where my money is going. I'm hoping this leads to me second thinking some of my purchases and ultimately leading to some savings!

De-stress 

This summer I was diagnosed with alopecia, it was a bit of a shock and quite daunting. But I was even more shocked when I got told the likely cause of it was stress. I had never thought of myself as a person who got stressed so I just couldn't understand it. But when I sat down and properly looked at my life I realised I do stress more than I think. I get stressed over the minutest of everyday things which over time I guess I had just got so used too. But now that I have recognised what stresses me I need to learn some techniques in order to de-stress myself.

 Can you think of any 'rest of the year' resolutions you would give yourself? Or any tips or advice to help me achieve mine?
