Beauty blogger zoe newlove shares her goals and dreams and plans to manifest them in 2016

I think a lot of us know what we want from life, a vague idea at least, but I bet the majority, myself included rarely spend time really putting those thoughts, those dreams, into play. Do you actually continuously & repeatedly set yourself goals? Do you thoroughly keep track that in fact, you are on track? Do you research how you are going to get to that exact point, in that exact time frame? I always said by 25 I would be married with two kids, and a house of my own. Funny, that at 26, I am nowhere near reaching these particular goals, but I don’t mind, they are no longer my priority – and deep down I don’t think they ever were. 

I have new goals, new dreams. 2016 I am going to play these goals over in my head, just like my favourite album on repeat – which is still Bieber FYI. I am going to manifest the hell out of my dreams, and ensure I reach them. There is no one who can stop me, other than myself, and trust me, I ain’t letting myself get in the way of anything.

But first, what does Manifest mean?
It is feeling with every ounce of your mind, body and soul, the passion and drive, to get exactly what you want – not just asking for it. It’s not just about making lists, it is about clarifying and FEELING what you want on that list. You have to really have faith in this big ole universe that we live in, and know that it has your back and relax along the way. Clear out all that negative energy and really focus on what makes you happy – be happy! Look at me opening up all my spiritual vibes here on my blog! Basically, decide what you want, truly and fully focus your intentions, genuinely and whole heartedly believe in what you want, and then just chill. Sounds easy right? Positive thinking is the future guys, literally.
BLOGGING GOALS

So let’s get my blogging goals out in the open. I really want to push my Instagram and YouTube this year. I would love to hit 30k by the end of this year on Instagram, that is more than doubling what I am currently on, but guys, I have faith! I say each month that I am going to start filming more videos, and this never happens – so, my focus this time around? Actually pull my finger out and aim for only two videos a month. This seems reasonable for my schedule and if I don’t stick to this, then feel free to custard pie me. I have no set target for YouTube, other than I just want to finally be able to enjoy creating content – as usually I just feel so stressed and it ruins the process for me. 
Overall, I am going to really focus on honing in my own style, from my photography, to my writing and the actual content itself. You may even see this little space get a make over aka the blog redesign.
Blogging isn’t my absolute everything, and so even though I will of course be setting a lot of my intentions around this place, there are lots of other things that make me happy, and these are just as important.
FITNESS
Fitness is something I have been keen on for a while, but rarely share this on here. I ran my very first 10k last year and I aim to run another this year. I got another pair of Nikes for Christmas from my sisters and I cannot wait to get out in them. I don’t work out to look good as such, I actually think it is super important to be strong and healthy – and have the added ability to run away from zombies when necessary.
HEALTH
I already eat quite healthily, but I want to really nurture my plant based diet and focus on cooking this year. My relationship with food and the kitchen is better than it has been in the past, but I still get stressed when following a recipe – I need to learn to enjoy the process. Hello Lucy Bee Coconut Oil cookbook.
LEARN A NEW SKILL
Speaking of fitness, as soon as Summer was over, annoyingly, I had the urge to learn to surf. Weather conditions not being great for a newbie, I just sat indoors watching tutorial after tutorial and piling loads of information onto my computer on the best courses etc. This year I am 100% going to learn to surf – and get over my fear of fish at the same time. Wish me luck. 
TRAVEL
I have lots of travel plans this year, the big one I still cannot share with you – that gives you a clue to my exciting news I am yet to reveal – but I am thinking of going to Bali and Singapore in November, and I plan to visit lots of new cities. I have an entire blog post dedicated to my travel plans coming soon, so wait and see for this. 
IGNITE AN OLD PASSION

I tried to launch a project last year, called #ArtyProject and this grew from my love of drawing and painting. I didn’t really get anywhere with this, even though it deemed popular with lots of other bloggers in the end. I truly believe if someone has a talent, they should not let it go to waste – yet here I am never picking up a paint brush or sketch pencil? I am going to sign up to life drawing classes this year, and really push myself to get back into my old ways. 
Oh and those life goals? Having a beach house AND an art studio are high up on the list, and yes, I am fine tuning on exactly how to make that happen. I am excited, are you?
What are your goals??? Tell me all.

    You have some amazing goals. My blogging goal is to make as many people happy with my content as I can. I don’t care that much about numbers. I already started to manifest my fitness goal which is by starting home Yoga. I do it with help of a YouTube videos by Yoga Wit Adriene. I really need to stop eating so many sweets and start taking care of my food choices. Traveling is always on my list. I can’t wait to get my driving licence so I can go on a little road trips with my friends. xo

      Thanks Millie! Good luck ! I do love my Olympus Pen! I just find it a bit faffy sometimes – I definitely recommend trying it out before buying it – if you have a friend or know of someone with one, or ask in store to play with it first xxx

    Great post, so inspiring!! I am about to turn 30 and always thought that I would at least have a house and a boyfriend by then. With only 3 weeks to go I know its not going to happen but I, have realised that perhaps I was listening to other people and their goals, rather than realising deep down what it is I really want. Good luck with all of your 2016 goals, and if you haven’t already, read ‘The Secret.’ Lovely post as always 🙂

    Girl reading this, we have loads in common! I’m plant based vegan and I generally think that what you manifest or what you put out there helps you focus on your goals a lot more. Definitely need to up the fitness too, my motivation always makes me cringe – need to get stronger!
