in on greatest thread of 2014 for self-improving miscers.

IMO, I think every miscer who posted their goals should COME BACK on December 2014, quote their OP, and see what they accomplished from their list.

Good idea, will do.

Lean bulk back to pre cut weight
Better eating habits, no binging or junk food
Save money for gyno surgery
Finish nintendo 64 collection
2nd source of income
Fuk 2 different girls a month
Work on depression and confidence

[Dunmore]

read more
learn german
become more sociable
smash more girls
hit 2/3/4 plates on at least two lifts
find a good part-time job to support studies

[Animal-S]

Get a job and earn money for the first time in my life
Finish bachelors degree
Free my mind of any negative thoughts and any anxieties
Continue lifting hard and consistently like I have been
Always remain positive and happy
Make new friends, meet new people
Smash more girls

[arniesays1]

My Goals I want to have achieved by 31st December 2014.

Fitness
220kg deadlift/ BW + 60kg Dip/ 120kg Front squat/ Strict 100kg BB row.
Get there using growth stimulus training. consistent diet (no skipping meals) and good sleeping patterns

Increased flexibility. Be able to do a high kick without falling backwards. Be able to do the splits - sideways and front ways.
Get there by being consistent with my flexibility training. Dynamic and static stretches each morning. Static stretches after each workout and before bed.

Fix my forward head posture and rounded forward shoulders
Consistent flexibility training plus posture fixing exercises from Elliot Hulse

Remain very healthy with an immaculate diet, no regular junk food (obviously a cheat meal now and then is allowed), 3 litres of water a day, and half a litre of green tea a day.

Education
Continue reading but I must stay consistent. One book per week and log the books I read

Finance
Only buy what I need. No buying useless crap. No unnecessary purchases. Each time I spend money decide if I really need it. When food shopping, only buy healthy food aimed towards my goals. No silly comfort food.

Start working on a business for additional income. One is a website making money through AF. The other is buying in bulk and selling. By the end of 2014 I may not have a highly successful business but I need to have started, I need to have made money through it and I need to have LEARNT some dos and don'ts.

Mind, body, spirit
Follow Elliot Hulses breathing exercises each morning
Be consistent with yoga
Meditate daily
No porn and no fap. I don't want to be controlled by any addictions.
Daily cold shower

By the end of 2014 I want a mind that is capable of remaining calm under stress, doesn't react emotionally to situations that don't warrant it and be able to stay sharp, concise and logical. I don;t wish to be controlled by anything other than myself. I don't want to suffer urges from addictions or silly illogical wants. I don't wish to be paralyzed by shyness, anxiety or fear of what people think.

General rif raf
I want to have traveled to 2 new countries.
I want to have had sex with a girl
I want to learn how to fix basics on my car. I am useless with cars - once had to call a mechanic just to change my tyre (no homo). I'm doing all basics myself this year and will not pay someone to do it for me. By the end of 2014 I will have learnt to change bulbs, wiper blades, oils, filters and possibly disc pads.
I practice jeet kun do and by the end of 2014 want to be at blue belt level.

Have you ever saved before? Or will this be your first time?

I have saved up a decent amount before. I've just been horrible about it the past year or two so I'm trying to get back on track. Big picture I'm trying to save up a large chunk of money and buy some property in a few years.

Any of you guys use a daily diary?

I started using one semi-consistently over the past year and found it helped me out quite a bit in regards to what I needed to get done today.

Heading out now to get my 2014 one.

[Chevster1]

Get B's and above for my GCSE's

[WinterWoIf]

I find resolutions worthless so I'll just give a timeframe for my goals:

52 books in 52 weeks
conversationally fluent in spanish and french or italian
become rugby god
4.0 gpa

[KillahJon]

gj guys

[tc718]

saw a thread about goals a while back and actually made a spreadsheet with 50 or so goals that i think are attainable within 2014. some are personal and some are career or finance related.

some random ones include

-enroll and pass a graduate class (just graduated undergrad this year)
-go skydiving
-save up x amount of money by mid year
-learn to play an instrument
-try a new beer from every US state (i love craft beer so i'm pretty stoked for this one)
-read a book/week for a month (i really want to get back into reading whether fiction or nonfiction)

that being said, i'm excited to see what 2014 brings. 2013 has been pretty life-changing so far so i'm interested to see how next year pans out
