Resolutions
15:50I don't think I have ever kept a new years resolution. I used to try and give up chocolate....always lasted about a month, I tried to stop drinking so much tea...lasted a week, if that. BUT this year I am going to keep at least half of my new years resolutions. I WILL! I've made a list of a few that I am particularly determined to keep because I know if I can, all these big changes will make me a whole lot happier. So, here we go...
- Holla for That Dollar : I went through a stage last year for about 2 months were I actually successfully saved money but since then I've been tragic. Within 5 days all my Christmas money had gone and once again I am broke. This year I have decided to make the resolution of actually having more money for useful and much needed purposes. I need to start keeping the pounds close so I can save up for a gap year (hopefully end of next year), save up for driving lessons,save up for a tattoo (FINALLY) and also so I learn to only spend money when absolutely necessary. It would be nice for a change to actually have money for longer than a month. *I can't believe I actually used the word 'Holla'.
- UK ROADTRIP 2K15 : Okay so I'm not planning on going on a roadtrip, I just need to try and go out more and take trips to more places. Finally, for once, I have a solid group of friends and have generally socialized more than usual, so it would be a good time to start this trend. Me and my two best girls, Izzy and Tess, have an annual trip to Devon, which after last years success is something we are going to aim to do for as long as we can. As well as that, I plan on going on more day trips. It may be as simple as going to a park or a forest walk, or it could be something like a trip to London or Brighton. But whatever it is, as long as I get out more that's all that matters.
- Organisation is KEY : I like to call my personality and space 'An Organised Chaos'. There are certain things that I am very organised with, for example my books and folders are neat and organised, my desk and room are organised, but in general my life and mindset is all over the place. When it comes to deadlines and committing to things it's a shambles. I need to try and be more practically organised rather than organised which is pleasing to the eye shall we say.
- One Push Up, Two Push Up...and Collapse : My biggest goal is definitely to improve my fitness, be more healthy, and lose weight. I refuse to be one of those people who say they will go to the gym and then cancel their membership of the 2nd of January. I have never been someone to be body positive and happy with the way I am. After years of saying I'll change, I am more determined than ever too. I have been vegan for a while and at the start of my diet I lost some weight but since then I have found the non-healthy vegan food and my fitness is slowly going down. I'm changing this back to a completely healthy vegan diet, detox water, detox tea and daily workouts. Not only is this for that 'bikini body' goal but for my general happiness.
- "The Road To Success Comes Through Hard Work, Determination and Sacrifice" : This kind of fits in with organisation because if I actually plan things successfully I might be able to get them done in time and to the best quality I can. The hard work and determination is basically for college and this blog. Especially in the last year I have really been slacking at school generally because at the moment I hate being in education. Somehow it's just not for me and not what my mind is focusing on right now. I need to try and get out of this mindset and crack on and do my work to the best of my ability. My blog is basically, that now I have got it going I am determined to keep it going and make it as successful as I can. Too many times have I tried and failed.
- Call Me The Next Bridget Jones : I have always loved the idea of keeping a journal/diary but never actually done so. the longest I have is for 2 months then I gave in. I think the key for me is that I need to keep a journal where posts are only a few lines long rather than pages and pages on what's happened that day. Maybe if I just write something I've learned or realized that day, or a little snippet of what's happened I might actually make the effort.
- The Two Jars : I need an easy way to keep memories and keep positive. And what better way than by using jars. In one jar I am going to put pieces of paper in everyday with one good thing/memory that happened that day, this way I will always be able to remember even the smallest details. The other jar will have pieces of paper with positive quotes on. I need to be a more positive person and on my quest to do this, everyday I will find a positive quote and place it in here.
Let's see how this goes.
