New Years Resolutions

New years resolutions are almost silly. The idea behind them are great but for the most part they fall through the cracks from the very beginning. So what’s the point on making those goals, like getting healthier when you know your going to break them.

But with that being said, I still like to have New Years resolutions but this year no silly ones, I want to make more personal ones that actually are things I have been wanting and trying to change for a long time. Nothing to specific but just general changes that could make my life and those around me better. So here are 10 resolutions I have for this year and all the years to come.

Make my own happiness - To often people blame others for them not being happy. I am truly guilty of this. I need to stop relying on others thinking that they should know what will make me happy. I need to do whatever I need to, to make myself happy. The pursuit of happiness is real and this is something that has really troubled me for quite some time, so I am going to try hard to be aware and make my own happiness.

Remember to be grateful - It is so easy to get pulled into depression or just un-happiness because you see how great life is for someone else. But whether they have a good life or not, it does not concern you (aka me and all of us). Remember what is good in your life because there is good and maybe you think other have it better but maybe that person has lost a close family member or whatever it meant it. Just be grateful. They say you should write down what your grateful for everyday. I can’t say I am going to do that but I am going to try to and to at least remember. And if you like you can always pray and give thanks.

Work on my self-esteem - I honestly don’t know if I have any confidence in myself which is not fun to know about yourself. I know that I could be way more successful person in all aspects of life if I had confidence in myself. But this one is hard for me, it is something that I just don’t know how to improve so please any recommendations are welcome. It is something I really want to work on.

Be a better girlfriend - I want to be what he needs me to be, love him the way he needs to be loved and work harder to keep the fun alive between us.

Travel more - Travel is something that I have always wanted to do and I have been lucky enough to go to lots of beautiful places but I have been to scared or broke to actually put my travel dreams to reality. I really want to make it more of a priority in my life because I know it would make me happy.

Try new things - I am the type of person that once I get into my comfort zone it is hard to break out. I get to scared of the unknown and don’t try things even if I want to. I need to break this habit because like they say, the magic is made outside of your comfort zone.

Make mistakes and learn from them - Making mistakes is one of those things I don’t want to do because I automatically associated with failure and no one wants to fail. But I need to get this out of my head. Making mistakes and failing is good (at least I’m told) but with that being said if you don’t learn from them then your not getting anywhere. So I want to be more aware and when I do make a mistake (which I will) I want to really see what I could do better next time.

Be a better friend - I have always been the type of person that is really bad at keeping in contact with friends. It some cases its okay because when you see the person you just pick up where you left off and you still have this comfort. But a lot of times I end up losing a good friend because I am to stubborn and scared to talk or see the person. I want to show those I care about that I can be a better friend whether I don’t want to do something or not because those people are worth it.

Work harder on my goals - I have lots of goals and dreams but I do a lot of talking and little action. I think I am scared and feel vulnerable to actually try to make them happen. But I have to follow my dreams and go after what I want and work my butt off to get there. That is where a lot of my resolutions come into play with this one.

And last but not least

Love myself - Stop pointing out what I don’t like about myself and start looking at the good things (even if I don’t think I have a lot). Believe that I deserve everything I want and that I can do it. We need to stop being so harsh and be good to ourselves. I don’t know why this is such a hard one for people but it is be a struggle and we are on own worst emeny. So let’s work on loving ourselves.

Happy New Year
