Weekly Wishes (4 - 10 August)

Roxy over at City Girl Searching has been posting Weekly Wishes as part of a link up by The Nectar Collective. 

This is a worldwide link up of women who are putting their short term goals out there for everyone to see, support and encourage one another. I absolutely love the idea! It’s so clichéd, but it really is so much easier to achieve something great when you’re focusing on the little steps that will get you there.


1. Be Healthy
I’ve been pretty good on my treadmill recently (helped along by the boyfriend’s continued references to it as the clothes hanger), but I find that as soon as I have evening plans with friends, that takes priority over the monotonous walk in one place.

Along with practically every other girl in the Southern Hemisphere, I’m working towards losing weight and firming up for summer. This week I want to try and stay off the carbs (and chocolate), drink at least 2l of water a day and drag my lazy bum out of bed early and onto the treadmill before the sun comes up. Well, for at least 4 mornings anyway.

2. Get In Touch

Life can get so busy it’s sometimes easy to get so wrapped up in everything that we “need” to do that we overlook the things that we should be doing.

Tuesday marks the 2 year anniversary of the passing of a good friend.

This week I am going to make an effort to pop a message to friends overseas that I haven’t chatted to in a while, make a call to the friend who I haven’t spoken to in a while, and make time to visit a friend who I haven’t seen in a while.

Life is short. Anything can happen. I never want to be in a situation where I regret being too busy for the people who I care about.

3. Turn Off

With this growing list of commitments for this week, I’m also going to find one evening to turn off. Turn off my phone. Turn off the tv. Take a Lush bubble bath. And spend some time genuinely doing nothing.

So thats what I'll be trying to do during this coming week.

I’d love to hear the things that you’d like to achieve over the next few weeks – why don’t you give it a go as well and we can motivate each other?
