Did you feel silly doing that too? Okay, at least we are on the same page.
It is the start of a new year, meaning now is the time where people feel like they can make a difference and they can start new projects (which will inevitable fail by the end of the month). I have never been a fan of New Years resolutions personally. I feel like if you want to make a change in your life you shouldn't have to wait until the start of a new year.
That being said, I don't think there is anything wrong with a set of goals. As opposed to resolutions, I see goals as a challenge rather than a life choice. Instead of having a resolution to eat healthy, I'd make a goal to cut out more junk. With resolutions, as soon as you break them people give up and they are forgotten for the rest of the year. Goals, however, are meant to keep you on your toes and reaching towards a bigger picture you want to have in your life.
With that out of the way, here are a few of my goals I hope to accomplish in 2015 to keep me on my path for my perfect future:
1. A Cup A Day - Despite not being its biggest fan, I'd like to drink at least one mug of green tea a day. Green tea has a plethora of advantages for your health and body. I'm sure I can gain a taste for it after a week or so of drinking it. A minimum of 365 mugs of green tea a year doesn't sound like a bad thing to me. Note the word 'minimum'!
2. Listen To Music - I mean REALLY listen to music. I am a lover of most musical genres, but I have found myself not really listening. I want to make more time to just sit and listen to the words, harmonies, emotions, etc. I'm tired of missing out on something that could be magically life changing.
3. Take Time To Write - You are a writer at heart, Elly. It was one of your first loves and continues to be a part of you. I want to stop pushing off and holding back on my writing capabilities. Start with your blog, maybe at least two new posts a month. Then, make sure to expand to that to poetry and short stories and novels that you know you love creating. Stop pushing off writing that worthy novel you have sprouting in the back of your mind every time you rest your eyes.
4. Get Out Of Here- The comfort of my room(s) is lovely. I get the best work done when I can concentrate, however, sometimes a change of scenery can spark something new in that creative noggin.
5. Channel Happiness - You have been on the mend for so long, Elly. This year will bring many firsts. It will be the perfect time to get back to the happy you had at age 16. Find that Elly and eat/do things that make you feel as happy as you always imagined yourself to be those short (nearly) five years ago.
That's all I have for now. If you'd like to see more about my other goals this year and which goals I did and didn't accomplish from 2014 then you can watch my new YouTube video HERE. I wish you all the best in your resolutions/goals and a happy New Year! Nothing special, but still meaningful.
