So another year has passed and this year I have decided to actually write new years resolutions which is something I have never done before, I know shock horror! Now apart from September onwards, last year was a pretty crappy year to say the least and I found myself being extremely unhappy all the time, well not this year, this year I'm going to improve my life and in turn be a much happier person. So here are my resolutions this year and how I plan to make the coming year a much happier one for me.
Record more moments
I want to try and write something, whether that be one sentence or 10 pages in a journal every day this entire year to try and keep track of everything that happens this year and then I can look back this time next year and perhaps remember some of the good things that have happened and I may have forgotten about!
Branch out of my comfort zone
This one is pretty self-explanatory, I want to try new things, push myself to meet new people, go places, be spontaneous and do things just because I want to and not overthink things and talk myself out of doing stuff like I always do!
Use my Canon 1100d more
I feel like, for such a big investment that my camera was, I'm not sure I really get my use out of it. So I intend to take more photos to not only document more memories (and put them in my journal rather than just online!) but to also develop my currently limited photography skills and learn more.
Blog more!
I have set myself a new schedule of two posts a week: Wednesday and Saturday, you lucky devils! So I will try to stick to that as much as I possibly can, but when things get a bit busier, then I want to try and at least blog once a week.
Eat healthier
Last year I had a lots of ups and downs when it came to food so this year I intend to eat as healthy as possible, and I won't starve myself of little treats now and again but I want to cook proper meals and eat more fresh produce.
Exercise at least once a week
Whether this be a video workout in the living room with the girls or going for a jog with the lads, I want to d more to tone up and get fitter. 2014 is the year I get a hot bod! haha.
Make more time for friends
I want to try harder to stay in contact with people this year, including going to see my bestest friend in the world in Sheffield and just making more effort to drop people a text and asking how they're getting on, which let's face it, isn't difficult.
Achieve a 2:2 or above in my first year of uni
I want to actually do my pre-reading, attend more seminars and try my absolute hardest on the 4 essays I have due in April!
Look after myself
I want to start respecting how far I have come in the past year and look after myself both physically with exercise, healthy eating and skin care, but also emotionally. I want to stop being so tough on myself and start accepting the mistakes I am bound to make. No one is perfect, certainly not myself and I need to start remembering that and realising that I'm gonna make mistakes and chance are, push people away who I really care about but it's never too late to start again.
Well, before I go all soppy on you all I shall leave it there for you! Hopefully this year can be much better than last year and I can stick to these resolutions.
Hope everyone had a wonderful new years eve and I wish nothing but happiness for each one of you in the coming year.
Have you made any new years resolutions? Let me know!
See you Saturday for a new post! xox
