New Years resolutions

so correct 

I want stop my OCD which involves spending too much time on my mobile, checking emails and social websites such as this one.  Also to stop reading online news sites about these multiple viruses, most of the news is false and pure speculation, and is stressing me out and causing a decline in my mental health.

It's great you've a plan and seem determined to make it happen. Keep us up to date. I'm gonna think more about whether I've the courage to learn!

That's pretty much the reason I haven't even tried lessons at all so far, I know I'll get overwhelmed in every lesson and I'm not competent enough to even keep a job that pays enough to own a car but I'm hopeful (or at least trying to be) that I can get there eventually with all the smaller income streams I'll have soon put together, get this credit card all paid off then start slowly learning to drive and hope that I can afford the vehicle fast enough to not forget how to drive 

I'm absolutely dying to get out of this city, I don't know if I'd like living somewhere more remote full time either though, so a home on wheels seems the best solution

good plan

Not sure but I think learning and practising social skills 

I've been pretty obsessed with the idea of living in a van for about 2 months since I watched a few videos of people in the UK converting their vans into amazing little houses with toilets and showers and a functional (if a bit tiny) kitchen, I honestly thought those types of conversions only existed in the US where the vans are enormous!  but it's amazing what can be built inside a secondhand painters van

I'd just love to have that space be my own really, and be able to move all over and never really have to fret about getting home on time or paying ridiculous money for hotels just to go and see nice places outside my home city

I've been wondering about driving lessons. Driving freaks me out; i'm hopeless following verbal instructions; and I'd be overwhelmed by the practicalities of owning a car. But I can see the value it'd have to get me to the fells to run, walk, swin, camp.

those are all major ones  the converted van seems like fun. they say u have to  love/like yourself before u can get on with others. Not sure if its correct.

- Pay off credit card then bin the thing

- Get assessed somehow, private or not I don't care anymore ha

- Try and do at least one driving lesson (for the longer term goal of leaving this 9-5 rent/mortgage paying bull*** world behind and living in some kind of converted van instead)

- Try to like myself more (tough, might have already given up )

Thanks aidie your advice is always good 

thats 3 

1 stop being anxious well reduce anxiety

2 stop overthinking  yep step back is what u think realistic will it matter in 5 years time ?

3 stop worrying ok same as one so its really 2 lol

another resolution is to hopefully finally stop being so anxious and overthinking and worrying about things.

1. of course, always 

2. anytime 

1. enjoy myself

2. ask for help when I need to

Monday the diet starts.

Sounds like a good christmas, at least on the indulgent front?

Mmmmmmm tins of chocolate and much more.

I'm doing it too much, when I could engage with something better for me I think like a novel, orjust sitting with myself for 5 min. I think I'll buy a paper copy on Saturdays.

But yes you might be right aidie , I can be too hard on myself.

wow !
