2024 Vision Board

I made my Vision Board for this year following six speheres of life post.

1. Health

My first New Year's decision is to practice daily aerobic as I've put an extra weight and after few diets had rebound pounds coming back. So as I am almost forty years old I plan to make this a daily routine as we lose 1% of muscle after we hit 25 each year and are bones are prone to osteoporosis as we approach menopause. Daily aerobic is good for your posture too especially if you add some pilates or yoga moves to your routine.

I already wrote a post about a two week healthy food menu to follow and a two week fasting food menu as one week allows use of oils and another one only allows cooked or air fried food during that time.

You can read two week menu here and fasting menu here. It does not exclude anything and it's special as it includes two main meals and one snack between. Reason for this is working schedule during week days and even Saturdays when you do not work from 9AM to 5PM but in shifts changing each week.

I will try to do what is best for my body as much as it's going to hurt during the first two weeks and that is leave out anything containing sugar in it and all pastries and dough made products. It means no desserts, candy, sugar in my coffee, ... bread, cookies, cakes.

It takes that much for your body to get used to it with one cheat day each week using dairy products and fruits as substitute and other "healthy" sugar. Reason for this is that sugar is made into fat in our body and with each diet you get a rebound pounds as soon as you finish your diet as our bodies want to build up storage fat in case we are left all alone on a abounded island as funny as it sounds. Bottom line is your fat is there to keep you warm during winter as storing fat starts as soon as September as why it's most easiest way to lose weight during summer when we eat a lot more vegetables and fruits available but today with growing number of Supermarkets it's all available even during winter days.

2. Education

I've abandoned my studies of economy more than a decade ago but last year our University economics studies department started a four year programme 'Prove your knowledge, get a diploma' meant for all who started their studies before Bologna Statute of learning in 2006. I don't have the obligatory attended classes as the students studying today I only attend exams once I learn one by one. I am currently second year student and hopefully I will sign in into third year before summer. 

As I have working experience as an accountant faculty only gives you the basis of understanding each part of accounting for example as why I plan getting prep lessons for accounting and proper accounting course containing daily accounting and all the law regulations as that is not part of the faculty curriculum.

Another wish I have is buying all the original books instead of using student notes for getting prepped for each exam.

European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) is something I would love to have for a while now with all seven modules passed. I plan to attend classes first as I forgot a lot of using programs due to not using them for years.

When I started my faculty studies I had many plans, you can read about that in my What I learned in my twenties post here, as I got anxiety and a form of depression it was hard for me to focus while learning so I passed all the practical  exams and failed the oral one's as I got anxious while learning and during oral exams. My mistake was that I did not visit a therapist to get a proper therapy that would have changed everything. One of my plans was studying in Germany with a DAAD scholarship, I went to A1 level DAAD certified lessons of German which where held at technology faculty at that time which I passed but I did not attend the ones later on as I was not satisfied with my average grade and the fact I barely got to finish first year of my faculty studies.

Today I plan to go to C1 level of the English language course so I can take exams at the British Council and from the beginning German and take exams at Goethe Institute. Kragujevac is a industrial town with 'Stellantis' being the biggest factory so many take Italian language lessons instead.

3. Citizenship

I plan to go through my wardrobe having ten wearable job outfits with pieces I can combine, two cold days and two warm days wearing outfits meant for hiking and working out and couple of clubbing dresses. I plan to include as much as skirts and dresses I can as that is one of my decisions.

I plan monthly YouTube vlogs of the previous month with the most meaningful subjects which happened and what I look forward from the current month.

As I have posts for once each week I decided to make this year posts meaningful and into events happening that and previos month. That is why January is starting with my Vision board of all of my New year resolutions.

4. Self-care

A bath once week besides regular showers.

I got my tooth broken while eating a sausage as why I don't smile that much. It's my number four tooth on te upper left side and I have two options, either to make bridge with putting crowns on number three and number five tooth an option I don't like as you destroy the near by teeth and to use a screw tooth option I am terrified as it means drilling into my upper side jaw. It's something I am delaying for couple of years and I would love to find the courage to do it this year with changing a few fillings as they need changing every ten to twelve years.

I've decided to be disciplined with using cosmetics, not go to bed before my night skin routine or skipping body lotion after I shower 'cause that's necessary when you reach my age when besides good diet routine you have be consistent with cosmetics too. Saying that skin care is expensive is ludicrous to say as you can read about me trying a skin routine with only products worth less than 5€ here giving awesome results. 

You can read about my experience with trying a Nivea serum meant for dark skin spots removal here.

You can read about my experience with using products worth less than 10€ here.

5. Homecare

I have small piece of land I would love to turn in to a weekend getaway if I get married or a bachelorette house if not with a one bedroom house starting with all the paperwork of turning partial farmland into construction land. I would love to save up enough this year so I can finish the paperwork and build a foundation. The government has many programs meant for those having farmland with government funds included and a proper business plans included for all those interested into being a farmer so I would love to grow spinach, cherry tomatoes or roses in plastic covered plots. It's just an idea but with having the land I would love to turn it into something profitable. I got the land as part of my grandfather's inheritance so I would never want to sell it.

I have in plans to turn my room into a studio apartment layout. I started with buying a set of pillows and sheets and I would love to do a makeover of the couch, buy a bookshelf and a working desk. Here's a layout I wrote about here, new curtains are also on the list and a wallpaper for the behind side of my closet I plan to have as a wall between the sleeping part and the day part.

I would love to find a job related with my high school education as hard as that is in this economy and my age. I am not picky I've tried working as a hotel maid, dishwasher and in a bakery but I was told I am to slow to work these jobs. Faculty and monthly expenses are not going to pay for themselves so it would be lovely to find a long-term job this year.

6. Religion/Culture 

I am so tired of questions why am I single and do I think about starting a family. Of course I do but I just haven't found the right partner, I am open to start a commited relationship for couple of years now and have about four hundred friend requests on Facebook where it's obvious those guys want to meet me. But if I wanted to start a relationship that why I would use Tinder like a normal person as I never had a one night stand don't plan to start with that now. And I am not picky but as one of my friends said the best time to get yourself in a serous relationship is in the start of your twenties. I don't agree with that as it's always the right time if two mature normal persons recognise each other as the perfect match for themselves. 

As I've said I am not picky so I am thinking about joining few organisations where I can meet same minded men and giving a chance to few Facebook turned Tinder men during this year for starters.

I hate join ups of intentionally meet ups where my cousins and friends try to introduce me with someone they think is appropriate match as it's sooo embarrassing and you have to be nice with someone you don't like trying not to give him hope as most of them are in their late forties. I don't mind the age difference as I am not twenty too but the few men of that age I've met acted as a winning prize for me as they can apparently get a girl in their twenties instead and I did not like the vibe coming out from them.
