1. Be more disciplined with exercise and diet to reduce fat % and become leaner/stronger.
I think I have finally got back on track with my fitness level, becoming more disciplined with my weekly exercise. I feel a lot stronger and toned. Next year’s aim is to reduce fat % and to get leaner/stronger with more consistent exercise and conscious diet choices.
2.Reading more news and books to enrich myself and to meet my financial goals this year.
All goals set this year have been met. We’re in fact ahead of the goals, but it’s an uphill climb that requires patience and endurance. Next year’s aim is to read more and to cultivate more financial sense, expanding the portfolio for more passive income.
3. Learn a new instrument – violin!
I finally took the plunge to get a violin although I’m not confident at all about mastering it. Then again, I’ve a whole lifetime ahead of me! Let’s just hope that I can get the basics and play a few songs next year.
4. Reduce clutter and organize the home.
This requires a lot of work, and yes, I do have many things! Hopefully with exams and less going on next year, I can put more energy to organizing the home.
5. Experiment with new recipes and cook/bake more often.
Although I’ve been cooking very often, I seldom cook the more complicated stuff and seldom bake. Hoping to experiment more and to start baking again.
Of all these, this year’s focus shall be on health. Or perhaps, health should be our focus all the time. It's easy to say that we 'do not have time' for exercise or healthy diet choices in our hectic lifestyles, but it's only when you lose your health that you realize that without health, there's nothing you can achieve or do! For people with desk-bound jobs like me, it's important to get some exercise and incorporate physical activities in our lives. Maybe it's the aging, but I'm becoming so much more health conscious as I feel my physical energy levels dropping. Time to get back into shape!
To another great year ahead~
