Gone are the days of 2014. Goodbye to the ups and many downs. I am ecstatic about 2015. There are so many exciting and unknown things to come this year. I can't say what will happen but I can say what I want to happen. You guys know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the good ol' new year resolutions! As I continue to age gracefully, I have come to set more realistic resolutions every year. Here are my 10 new year resolutions for 2015:
1.) Eat more raw foods! I love pizza as much as the next gal but I need to incorporate unprocessed and raw foods into my daily diet more often.
2.) Exersize regularly. Even if it's only 30 minutes at home or taking the stairs instead of the elevator, I'm keeping my body moving.
3.) Set up a savings plan and STICK WITH IT. Even if I can only contribute $10 one week, I'm $10 more invested than I was before.
4.) Be more open to social gatherings. I've come to be an introverted person. There's nothing wrong with that but I want to meet more interesting people and exciting experiences. That's not gonna happen from the confines of my room.
5.) Cut ties with people who are no longer beneficial to me. No more half-assed friendships. The only people who need to be included in my life are the ones that make me happy and help me grow.
6.) Pamper myself. Sometimes I work so hard, I forget to focus on my star player; me! At least once a week, I want to dedicate some time to myself. Light a candle, put on a face mask, paint my toe nails. Appreciate myself.
7.) Learn some new vocabulary. Incorporate it into my daily speech. Knowledge is power.
8.) Read more! Not just the super cool sci-fi/fantasy books that I'm into. Classics, newspapers, biographies, whatever. Just read!
9.) Travel. Explore the world! Know what's out there.
10.) Practice new makeup techniques. You can never know too much. Special effects makeup is one of my favorite makeup styles. I want to invest deeper in my SFX kit and practice more often. Practice makes perfect.
So often in the past, I'd set unrealistic time frames for these goals, (i.e. lose 30lbs in a month, save $1,000 in 3 months, etc.) and those goals wouldn't be met and I'd lose motivation and lose sight of my goals and forget about it. My advice to you guys is to set realistic goals! Or don't set any goals at all! That's perfectly ok too! The most important thing is to just live your life the way you want to. Either way, I hope your year is fantastic! Best wishes from me to you!
