Stay sober. Get back to healthy eating, exercise, quit smoking. Send cards/little gifts to my kids/mom/sister about once a month. Take better care of myself re: my nails, etc. Quit wasting so much time. Possibility of quitting Farmville – I waste way too much time on there.

2) Practice personal growth

6) Exercise every day, even if it’s just walking the dog!
7) Start an online business with the intention of generating passive income.
8) Become the person I want to be :)

First goal of the year is to eradicate procrastination and promote commitment to what I set out to do (or at least, try). This way I actually begin to get results, and not just a bunch of half-finished projects and ideas. This will probably also mean wasting less time on the internet, or at least on certain sites on the internet.
Second goal is to take care of my physical well-being. Work on exercising every day, and drinking more water. Next, get a healthier diet and eliminate most of the “junk” from it, as much as I can. Start flossing each day, and begin wearing my retainers regularly to keep my teeth nice and straight. Take care of my skin and hair to keep them looking and feeling healthy as well.
Third goal is to take care of my mental well-being. Learn to be positive, take time to meditate. Take time each day to have fun, whether reading or writing or drawing or whatever. Journal each day, and take time to really count my blessings.
Fourth goal is to learn new things. There is so much I want to learn, such as different languages or dance styles. As I learn not to give up on the goals I undertake, I want to begin learning new things on a regular basis but actually stick with them so I won’t be saying, “I tried learning that” but instead, “Oh, I know how to do that.” Also, taking the time to read is an important past-time I’ve lost the time for in the past few years, that I hope to make time for now.
Fifth goal, and perhaps the most important one, is to keep learning about and improving myself. Learn and work through my fears and traits I dislike about myself, and work on getting more positive traits that I would like. Keep track of all the life lessons I learn, and all the things about myself that I discover. This could potentially be included in my third goal, but I think self-introspection and growth is important enough to be its own goal. =)
My biggest goals for 2013 are something that I hadn’t really put much thought into before. In previous years I would have a list of resolutions that were broken pretty quickly afterwards. Now after this year I don’t want to tie myself down to a few things honestly to do or not do. The main thing for me is to maintain. Continue paying my bills on time. Find new ways to get out of the house more often and be social with other people. Move more, stress less. I want to stay focused at work more and not get distracted by side events or out of control circumstances. Yeah just I would say my goals for the next year would be to just continue the positive things of 2012.
For 2013, I want to be better organized, less inclined to emotions so read and do some reasearch on this subject.
I want to read more books, comics, articles…
I want to do more gardening.
I want to go more to the theatre, to museums, to concerts.
I want to be more open-minded with kids as I realized that they bring me a lot.
I want to travel more
Knowing more will enable me to be less influenced by others and this will make me grow and open the door to find back love
Achieving the highest physical and mental state attainable!

1. Get a new job and stop complaining about my current unsatisfactory job and company

My biggest goal for 2013 is as follows:
-Clear all the debts owned and get accountability of the relevant parties who play the part to contribute to sort it out. I have assumed 100% responsibility on this although not fully my fault alone in this, as it has affected several activities which I wanted to plan for 2012 and created unnecessary stress and difficulty on my lifestyle and family and for my personal observation, a prevention can be done with proper insight and planning of contigency.
-Create 2 meaningful projects that synergies with my life values and vision. I have been working on these and will reveal them more once it is finalized.
-Travel to countries that I have never been before such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Africa and other western part of the world once finance issue is sorted fully. Some speaking engagements and life story of my journey will be documented by myself and relevant media party for memory purpose.
-Create impact to entrepreneurs (the road map is 6,500 entrepreneurs throughout and consolidating new platform to support the development and events)
-Create 2 passive income channels and make it consistent (the 1st one is kicking off in 1st Jan if all discussion goes well, and 2nd one of hotel booking system to be consolidated with 2 tier monetization with mobile website)
-Love and cherish to people that appreciate and support me every moment available (through email, facebook or catching up for chat). For this challenge, I would expression my appreciation to Celestine for this challenge helps me to think through what is important and express my thoughts.

To also make effort to be a better friend, and to also make some new friends.
To be at conversational Italian at the end of six months, and also keep working on my German studies!

I am not 100% sure about my goals for 2013 just yet so am going to a New Yrs Eve/ New Yrs Day goal setting workshop. I am hoping to have defined a direction/purpose and have specific goals soon.
Like most people though, weight loss and management will be in there. I need to lose 20 kg but more importantly KEEP IT OFF. I have lost it many times but unfortunately it keeps finding me again!(lol)
More importantly for me will be defining my purpose in life. I am currently adrift and lost and this is not a good place to be.
Any other goals will flow out from this – giving up alcohol, looking after my health and fitness, trying to improve my relationship with my husband and kids, looking for a new job…….
I will keep you posted,
My goals for 2013:
To find a woman to build a long term relationship with.
To be more open in my communication with my friends and family.
To travel somewhere new.
To eat more vegetables.
To keep reading and learning.
