Here is a review of how I did on my 2014 Aspirations. Many of the updates link to posts throughout the year in case you want to read more about them. It’s kind of difficult for me to put this review out into the world. In fact I think its my least favorite post of the year because I feel like I am sharing my failures. I do it anyway though because I am trying to stick with the attitude that I do more than I would considering that I do share these. And so even if every aspiration isn’t reached, I am still better off than if I had set none at all. Next week I’ll post my 30 aspirations for 2015.
.1. Get 7-8 hours of sleep every night
I have my good times and bad times with this one, but I am really cutting down on the 6 hour nights of sleep. If I get less than 7 I usually struggle all day and I remind myself of that when I try to do ‘just one more thing’ before bed.
.2. Read at least twelve books and document
I read my twelve. Being in two bookclubs helps me reach this goal pretty easily and it helps me to try reading new things. Never thought I’d be reading reality TV Star books.
