I decided to share some of my New Year's resolutions with you guys. You don't really need a "new" anything to have a fresh start, but the New Year definitely has a special motivating magic to it. Anyways, I figured some of it might be inspiring to share. Happy New Year!
1. Be confident in yourself & who you are.
This past year has been a difficult one for me and for a while it put me in a funk, which led to me losing confidence in myself and who I am as a person. Learning how to love yourself is one of the most important things to being happy so this is something that I will learn as well.
2. Focus on yourself. Stop revolving your life around people who don't care as much as you think they do.
This is something I tend to do with people who come and go; care too much. It's unfair to put this much energy in people who don't value me, like I value them. This is going to be the year for I focus on bettering myself, my career, my creative outlet, and my overall inner self.
3. Learn how to express your emotions properly, rather then bottling them up. (and then exploding)
Something I fucking suck at is expressing my emotions. Sometimes it's hard for me to even understand what I'm feeling myself, and before I know it I react before I can even comprehend what's actually going on with me. This is definitely something I will work on, for I've already made mistakes with this.
4. Wake up early.
Something about waking up early and having the whole day ahead of you is pretty inspiring and something I am going to start doing.
5. Let your creative outlet continue to flow.
As I've mentioned earlier, I've kind of been in a funk and It's been un-motivating me to do anything creative. (Totally uncool) I want to start writing more, taking more photos, creating more photoshop projects, working on fashion projects, and painting.
6. Stay healthy and active.
As much as I love working out, lately i've been lacking, as well as eating totally unhealthy. It's time to get back into the grind and kick my own ass!
7. Stop being so uptight, learn how to be carefree and enjoy.
Sometimes I totally overthink situations and it completely ruins them, I want to enjoy the moments that come and go.
8. Find some way of properly learning how to dance.
Dancing has always been something I've wanted to learn, but never have because I've always been to shy or afraid of trying something to do. Contemporary dance is something I would love to learn more about.
9. Surround yourself with your loved ones and keep them as a priority.
It's always important to keep in touch with any close friends or loved ones no matter how busy life gets
