Good morning darlings! The last day of 2014 is here, and the year has seriously just flown by. That’s how I feel every year though, and I’m so ready for a new one! With a new year comes new resolutions, or maybe the same resolutions we have every year only renewed. A lot of people think new year resolutions are bullcrap, but personally I love a fresh start, motivating quotes, setting goals and everything like that, so of course I love resolutions as well. I thought I’d share some of my thoughts and goals for the new year with you guys♥
⋆ Live in the moment. In 2015, I want to be able to just stop and enjoy moments better. ‘Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans‘ they say, and that is so true! I’m always planning things in my head, whether is an hour, a day or a month away. When the moment arrives, I’m too busy planning the next thing that I forget to really enjoy it! It’s such a depressing thought, and something I really want to become better at. I want to be able to shut out my thoughts and noise from the rest of the world, and just.. Be! Maybe I’ll check out mindfulness, that seems like such an awesome concept. And maybe even some yoga and meditating to learn how to block away stressful thoughts. I think this must be my most important new years resolution, I think it will make me an (even) happier person.
⋆ Worry less. This goes hand in hand with the point above, but worrying less is also something I want to become better at. Especially when I go to sleep at night, I think so much! I just want to scream to my brain to shut it, haha. ‘Worrying is just a misuse of your imagination‘ – Think happy thoughts and dream bigger dreams in stead!
⋆ The usual. Then of course we have the one pretty much everyone has every single year – Work out more and eat healthier. Right now that is really easy to do, because I currently don’t work out and I eat like crap, haha. I can’t wait to get started!
⋆ Focus less on shallow things. Thought about my own looks and apperance play a way too big role in my life! It’s not like I’m obsessed with it, but for instance if I have a big zit or feel bloated, I’ll feel super ugly that day, and I’ll probably just want to stay home. That is so stupid! The truth is that everyone else is too focused on theirselves to even notice that zit or the fact that you look bloated. I want to free myself of those thoughts, because they bring absolutely nothing positive with them whatsoever.
⋆ Always do my best, but accept that I can’t do it all. In today’s society it’s almost expected of us that we should be great at everything, whether it’s school, work, cooking, working out – whatever! It’s good to have goals, but jeez louise, we’re only human. Trying your best at something is more than good enough. Having unrealistic expectations is just setting yourself up to fail. This is definitely something I’ll remember in the new year. It’s better to find a few things you love to do and trying to do them as best as you can, than trying to do it all to perfection.
⋆ Travel to new places. In 2015 I want to travel to places I’ve never been before! I definitely need to go back to New York at one point or another, it’s been so long.. But I also want to explore new parts of the world, like Mexico or maybe Bali.
Now I’m gonna get a few errands done, before the celebrations starts tonight. Do you guys have anything fun planned? The girls and I have been talking about what we should do for weeks, but I think I’m actually just gonna stay home. Bella is so scared of the fireworks, so I want to be here with her. My boyfriend has offered to stay home with her, but I feel like she’s gonna need her mama too, hah. My parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary (I think it’s 33 or 34 years, better find out), so it’s always fun to just hang out with the family and celebrate here.
Now I want to hear what your new years resolutions are! Do you have any?♥♥
