At the beginning of the year, I always like to set myself a couple of little goals. Nothing major, just a few things that I would like to achieve throughout the year, and I thought that I would tell you the five things that I would like to achieve during 2023 and whether or not I managed to achieve 2022’s goals.
Anyway, that’s enough of me rambling, here’s five things that I would like to achieve in 2023.
A picture of me holding my Red Cane.
1. Finally get Kiwi the Parrot to interact with people.
If you didn’t already know, I recently adopted an African Ringneck Parrot called Kiwi, but given that he was pretty much wild when I got him, he doesn’t really like to interact with anyone and instead just likes to squark at and fly around them. So I would love for him to actually let people, primarily me, come near him at some point.
2. Promote the Blog a little bit more.
I’ve been blogging for over 8 years now, and apart from sharing my Posts across Social Media when I post them, I don’t really promote my Blog. So I would love to promote it a little bit more by maybe writing for someone else’s Blog or Publication.
3. Have some kind of an Experience Day.
I’ve never been someone who likes doing something out of their comfort zone, but there are a few things that I would love to do at some point like Axe Throwing, Driving a Car, or Shooting a Gun, and even though it’s generally quite unusual for Blind and Visually Impaired people to do them, there are some businesses out there that offer an accessible way of doing them.
4. Get back into Finger Knitting.
I used to Finger Knit quite a lot as it used to help me relax as well as keep my Hands busy, but I haven’t done it in years and I would love to start doing it again.
5. Shop at more Local and Small Businesses.
Even though I generally try to shop at more Local and Small Businesses, I could definitely stand to buy more from them rather than shopping at the massive Chain stores that I do. The only trouble is that most Local and Small Businesses that I find use Etsy as a Shopping Platform, and unfortunately it isn’t that accessible.
There you go, that’s the five things that I would like to achieve in 2023, but did I manage to achieve 2022’s Goals?
Well yes and no, as I managed to achieve four out of five of them, which I think is pretty good.
1. Leave the House more often.
Don’t get me wrong, I could definitely stand to leave the House more often than I do, but after all of the restrictions from COVID19, I simply don’t have the energy or the patience to be dealing with crowds of people whilst using a Cane.
2. Get more involved in the Male Body Positivity Movement.
I actually managed to achieve this one too, as even though I haven’t posted any of my Underwear Selfies in quite a few months, I have been interacting with and discovering more people on Social Media that are proud of their bodies and don’t mind showing them off despite any flaws they might have.
3. Not spend so much time scrolling through TikTok.
Unfortunately I didn’t manage to achieve this one, as even though I probably spend more time scrolling through TikTok than I used to, I find that it helps me to relax and unwind for a little while.
4. Explore Leeds a little bit more.
I only slightly managed to achieve this one, as even though I’ve ventured to some places in Leeds that I wouldn’t usually visit, there’s still even more places that I would like to explore.
5. Condense my Tea Cabinet.
I also managed to achieve this one too, as even though I still have a lot of Tea in my Tea Cabinet, I have thinned it out quite considerably, and only hoard the Teas that I know I’ll want to drink in certain situations or seasons instead of just keeping something because I thought it sounded interesting.
There you go, that’s the five things that I would like to achieve in 2023 and whether or not I managed to achieve 2022’s goals.
