Happy New Year!!! – First Fortnight Mental Health Arts Festival, BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition

I would guess that in the current situation many of you did not make any New Year’s resolutions even if you normally do. But since the majority of New Year’s resolutions are broken before the end of the month, that is probably a good thing! But now that we have another 6 weeks of lockdown (4 have been announced and I bet it will get extended), you could maybe think about another few personal goals. Maybe read that book that is smiling at you from your shelf for a long time. Or do that online course that you always were interested in or practice that craft/instrument that you wanted to master or start learning that language that you would love to be able to speak. Or work on the weight loss or the bodyweight exercises or the healthy eating plan that always was your wish to achieve. Do it now! Make the decision and then go for it.

You probably know:
A Dream written down with a  date becomes a Goal. A Goal broken down into steps becomes a Plan and a Plan backed by Action becomes Reality!

Covid or not, let’s grab 2021 by the horns and make shape it as much in our preferred way as we can! With the new Level 5 lockdown, some things are out of our hands, but your own personal development is not affected by any Lockdown!

I don’t expect too many events to take place and I was thinking about pausing the Dublin Event Guide for another week, but since we all are restricted in our movements again and with a much colder outdoors than in previous lockdowns, having a few things to do at home might be a helpful distraction. So I searched for as many things that you can do for free at home and put them in this first 2021 edition of the Dublin Event Guide.

A new months means lots of new bills and if this Dublin Event Guide helps you and you want to help me to keep it going, then your help would be VERY much appreciated! If you could help with a small donation that would be so so great and will help with the Dublin Event Guide bills.

I am not asking for a lot, but I think one or two Euro per MONTH is a very fair suggestion. So for the year, this would be 12 Euro or – for people you can afford a bit more – just 24 Euro per year! With 52 Dublin Event Guide editions, that is ONLY a tiny 23 (or 46) cent per weekly edition! An amazingly low cost for the great value that you get every week! Right? :-)

Use the links below and my appreciation is guaranteed! Less than 1% of the readers help, so YOUR contribution really counts!

Please donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide
or for Revolut users among you just via 0872931571.

If PayPal or Revolut don’t work for you, you can buy one or two or even three virtual coffees (or Hot Chocolates!) for the Dublin Event Guide and you can do that on the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG  .

And if you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent!

Thank you!!

And here are as many free events for you as I could find:

I found a few more things to keep you going or that you might find interesting:

1) From next week, I will have lots of additional information again in this section, but this week I will still take it easy and just remind you of two offers that I use regularly AND that help the Dublin Event Guide if you buy books or online courses through these links!

2) LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES – Special Offer
Is learning a new skill part of your plans for the new year? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or NLP or some Business related “soft skills”? Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available.
The lowest cost for courses this month will be around 12.99. Check out the website at shor.by/GqCk And if you buy through that link, you help the Dublin Event Guide! ;-)

3) READ MORE BOOKS WHILE IN LOCKDOWN
For physical books and e-books I recommend Book Depository because they are usually cheaper than others and they always include delivery for free and by using this link you help the Dublin Event Guide when you purchase a book and it doesn’t cost you a cent: shor.by/BookDepository  .
