January is always the month that gets a lot of us worried, woeful or sad. It is a time though in which we can use to start something new. Something fresh. Something that we can build on throughout the year. 

With many of us starting it with resolutions or plans for what we want to do or achieve over the next 12 months, January is a time where I like to set out a bunch of goals. Ones that I hope, wish or want to do from now until December 31st. However, I never like to put too much pressure on myself with them. There so, I don’t ever really call them resolutions. More so, ideal situations. 

As we head into another lockdown in the UK, I have finally come up with a few that I wanted to share with you. A few simple ones and a few that may or may not happen, depending on how the world and all within it depends to turn…

Complete An Online Course

This year, I want to complete an online course. I don’t mind if I get a certificate or not, I just want to be able to continue to learn more. I love discovering something new every day and so I want to give this a go to find out more about the world and certain topics that have interested me more. Hopefully with so many topics out there I can complete a few before the end of the year. 

Blog More

Last year, with everything that happened, I didn’t get to blog as much. Yet, I want to spend 2021 getting back into the swing of things. I want to use the blog to write more content that interests me and to spread messages, stories and more on it. I am thinking of making three or four posts a week, but we will see how it goes. 

Be Gentle With Myself

I find that I often put other people before myself and whilst this isn’t a bad thing, it does cause me a few problems. Due to my eating and anxiety disorders, I often struggle to relax well. This is something I really want to work on and change in 2021. I want to rest, laugh and have more fun. I know this may seem impossible in a COVID world, but I am going to try my hardest to do so. 

Do More Dream Projects

Being on the radio last year really showed me how much I love working with others and building new content. I hadn’t explored radio since university and doing it made me fall in love with that side of journalism all over again. I hope I can return with the team again, but also work on more dream projects this year as well. If you are looking for someone to help you with a project, please do reach out lovely at tamburellojoey@gmail.com.

These three plans are what I am working on right now and will continue to do. I will keep you all updated on my progress. What are your goals or wishes for the new year lovelies? Let me know!
