2017 was
kind of a hectic year just in the sense that there seemed to always be
something going on with family and otherwise, so this year I am hoping for
smooth sailing ahead.
Along
with some of my standard New Year’s resolutions of being more grateful, eating
healthier, reading more, be more on time {I’m always late…practically
everywhere I go} etc. I have also been toying around with the idea of making concentrating on myself more a New
Year’s resolution… I realized that this probably sounds like one of the most
selfish New Year’s resolutions in the history of resolutions, but I am that
type of person that will help anyone with anything not matter what it is and
drop what I’m doing without a second thought. Which is a quality that I still
plan to keep in tact, but over the past couple months I‘ve been going to bed at
2 or 3 in the morning doing things I should have done during the day, I haven’t
been great about working out a few days every week {it seriously makes all the
difference}, and I haven’t been eating breakfast on a regular basis {another
thing that makes a big difference}. In short I need to be healthier and it always
seems like once you start concentrating on yourself a little bit more {as
selfish as that sounds} everything else just kind of seems to fall into place.
Another
resolutions I’ve been playing around with, which is going to sound a lot less
selfish than the last, is to be more present in the moment. Whenever I am out I
probably check my phone at least five times during the span of an hour {I’m
kind of a phone addict…} and I am always thinking about things that need to be
done. This kind of goes with being more present in the moment, but I am great
at taking pictures of ‘pretty things’ but I always forget to take pictures of
people, on special dates, etc. So overall just learn to savor the moments, big
or small, and to be better at documenting memories.
What are some of your New Year’s
Goals/Resolutions?
