My Goals For 2021!

 Hey guys,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome back to my blog or welcome if you're new,

Today I'm going to be sharing my goals for this year with you guys, hopefully this year will be better than last year and I'll have more opportunities to reach more goals as a fair few of these goals can only really happen more so if we get back to 'normal' and it's safer this year

Anyway, let's just get into the list then, shall we?

Okay, so just like last year's goals I've somewhat categorised them, so let's start with dance and fitness goals:

• Hopefully start taking dance class again

I know some studios were open on and off last year but personally I want to wait until it's fully safe to start classes in a studio again, so here's hoping I can start taking class again later in this year

• Stretch regularly

I think this was on my 2020 goals list too haha, but I feel like I go through stages where I'm really consistent with stretching and then I'm not but I'd like to be a lot more consistent this year, even if it's just once a week to start with

• Get a job in dance

Again this depends on how this year goes, but I'd love to finally be able to apply for a job assisting a dance teacher and hopefully be able to start getting experience in that

• Workout more

I was going to put go to the gym more but again that depends, so I thought I'll just put workout more as I can workout from home too like with stretching, but if I am able to go to the gym more regularly again this year I would like to do that too

• Book a dance studio

This year I'd really like to book a dance studio for a couple of hours and just dance in a wide open space

Now moving on to my blog and YouTube goals:

• Reach 35k total views on my blog

I'm currently fairly close to 30k and I'd love to get to 35k total views on my blog by the end of this year, I know I've set it kind of low but my blog views aren't that great at the moment, my posts recently have only been getting between 16-21 views so I'm keeping this goal somewhat realistic haha

• Reach 5k total views on my channel

I currently have 3,053 so I feel like this is doable providing I have more opportunities to film more often haha, as I'm writing this we're back in lockdown but here's hoping I can make this happen

• Hit 200-500 subscribers

Providing I can put more time into my channel this year I would love to hit 500 subscribers, half way to 1k, but I've set a lower goal of 200 incase I can't as like I said for the above goal when I'm posting this we are in lockdown again in the UK

• Be more consistent with YouTube and hopefully get on an upload schedule

I feel like I keep repeating this but again this depends on when it is we hopefully get back to 'normal' this year so that then I can start filming more regularly etc again

• Be more consistent on my blog

I feel like since my blog relaunch I've been somewhat more consistent and I'd like to keep up with that throughout this year and if I can't film too much at least that gives me more time to write and post on here too

Okay, now for social media goals:

• Hit 1.5k - 3k followers on my main Instagram account

Again I've set a lower and higher goal for this one as let's face it I'm not the most active on Instagram and I don't post a ton haha but I'd love to hit anywhere between 1.5k (even though I haven't even hit 1k yet, but I'm getting close haha) or 3k at the most

• Post more on my main Instagram

I'd like to post more on my main Instagram this year, I feel like last year I did ok with this for a while then I slowly stopped posting as much haha

• Post more on my dance Instagram account

For those who don't know I have a dance account on Instagram too, this year I'd like to post more on that account and put more time into content for that account etc

• Buy a Styling Social course

Styling Social is basically social media coaching and there's one course that Ellie (who runs it) has made that I've had my eye on for a while, it's called pitch power and basically teaches you how to pitch to brands and all things to do with that so this year I'm hoping to save up and buy the course

And finally, we have the 'other' goals that didn't really fit into the categories above:

• Finish the free dance course I started on OpenLearn

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this much on here but earlier last year I started a free dance skills course on OpenLearn

OpenLearn is run by the Open University and they have tons of free courses on a range of different things, you don't get a qualification but you do get a statement of participation

So far I've learnt so much from this course and it's been really helpful, and I figured it looks good on my CV too as it's shows I've learnt something about the career I want to get into as far as dance

• Start another free course

Like I said there are courses on sooo many things and I found so many I'd like to try so I'd like to start at least one more course this year

• Start learning French again

On OpenLearn there are actually a few courses on French and I'd also like to maybe start using Duolingo again and making notes of words and phrases from there like I was before to try and start learning more French again

• Travel somewhere

That's if we're allowed to and if it's safer to this year, but here's hoping I can travel somewhere

• Sign up to Awin

Awin is a site for affiliate links and I'd like to give that a go this year, see if I can make a little cash and also start taking small steps to making blogging etc a career

• Try a new food or drink

I feel like I put this on my list every year and usually on my summer bucket list too but it's always nice to try a new food or drink and let's be real there's plenty out there to try haha

• Bake something new

Last year I started baking a ton (I think most people did haha) and I really enjoyed it, so this year I'd like to bake at least one thing I haven't baked before

If anyone has any recipe suggestions be sure to let me know in the comments (side note: I have a nut allergy so can't make anything with nuts in haha)

• Learn to cook more

Last year I learnt to bake more by myself, this year I'd like to get more into cooking too

I mean I can make pasta and pretty simple things like that but I'd like to learn recipes this year to cook and get more into that

• Work with a brand I love

I put this one in 'other' as it could come under social media, blogging or YouTube so I figured it was best to put it here instead haha but I would absolutely love to work with a brand this year and get a taste of what this could be in the future I guess so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

• Buy a pair of thigh high or over the knee boots

This is kinda random haha but if you've followed my Instagram for a few months you'll know I found some black thigh high boots I really wanted but then when it came to being able to buy them they didn't have my size and now I can't even find them on the H&M website so I'm putting this here to prompt myself to find some others somewhere and actually buy them and hopefully feel super confident in them (If you know of any cute pairs please feel free to DM me or let me know in the comments hahaha)

• Buy a Macbook

This one is a little more out there but I'm hoping this year I can get a Macbook at some point as the laptop I use currently (Windows) isn't fully compatible with the video editor I use and I feel like a Macbook has way more options, including iMovie which is of course free haha

Okay, so those are all of my goals for this year,

Depending how this year goes I might take some goals off or maybe add some, but of course if I do I'll let you guys know

I hope you enjoyed this blog post, if you did be sure to follow my blog (options are in the right side bar) and let me know in the comments what one of your goals for this year is

Thank you guys so much for reading and I will see you very soon probably for my December highlights post next,

Bye guys!
