What advice would you give to a friend, family member, or co-worker who wants to reach their resolution?
Motivation is what gets you started, habit is what keeps you going 🙂

Bringing it in from 2014
We’ve learnt many things last year and we’ve decided to bring one or two things into the new year. Friends, the mistakes we’ve made, and the lessons we’ve learnt have been a common theme among us tonight! But don’t forget the good stuff! Spending time with new friends, seeing family members start school (and feeling old while doing so!) and just generally chilling out are some awesome things that we’re bringing forth.

 

2015: Looking forward
Good vibes right here! We’re looking forward to a lot of things in 2015. Travel, good food, job hunting, improving your personal well-being, looking out for others, getting through Year 12, meeting new people, open to new experiences, volunteering, doing more of the things we enjoy (like reading more books and gardening), as well as playing a lot of music is what we’re wanting to do!

 

How to achieve goals
Making some big career moves, finding a job, improving at uni, keeping yourself healthy - physically and mentally, as well as keeping your relationships positive are some of our goals. Whether this is doing some job-hunting more frequently, changing what our dream job is, doing more readings, exercising more at home (in a home gym!), and checking up on people, we’ve all got our ways in getting there!

Tips for challenging resolutions
Breaking them down into smaller steps is key to working towards more challenging resolutions. It’s also great to have short-term goals as well as focusing on the long-term. Not everything has to be one enormous project! It gives us the chance to figure out obstacles but also helping us live in the present. This way, we can view our resolutions from all different angles and follow our instincts!

 

Big, small, different goals
‘Impress yourself, not others’ is the motto for our goal setting and resolutions. There are going to be times when we want to do everything or compare ourselves to others. But we know that stepping back and appreciating what we’ve done so far is what matters. Setting goals can happen at any time - not just for the New Year. We’re all different with different things to work on at very different stages of our lives. However, hearing about what other people are doing gives us ideas on improving ourselves too! Carrying on goals from last year also shows our work in progress.

Bucket list time!
Looks like we’re really into travel, concert-going, and extreme sports! Some of us want to travel to New Zealand to do bungee-jumping, and re-visiting France and going on a European adventure. Others are sticking close to home, such as going to Melbourne or doing a trip around Australia. Going to more concerts is also on the bucket list! Yay for more Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift!

 

Giving advice to others
Keep motivated and keep it simple
