Oh Hello.. 1st January 2014.
You got here quick. I haven't even thought about New Years Resolutions and have never been one to make them. Like many others I have seen say 'I'm not making resolutions, I don't need too' etc etc, I was the same, I don't smoke, never have. I only drink socially, and I don't really have any bad habits that need fixing, so i never felt the need to make goals, and resolutions to stick by. 2013 happened how it happened, I achieved more in that year than in a lifetime, but they were not resolutions that I had planned.
I am a strong believer in fate and everything happening for a reason, and I believe our course will take us where we are meant to be, and all the bad and good things that happen can't be changed we have to face them.
I have made a bucket list in the past, and I love to cross off things I do achieve along the way. But I AM going to make New Years Resolutions and goals for 2014, just because I CAN.
So here is my version of my New Years Resolutions.
Travel
2013 showed me how much I love to Travel and all the greatness that Travel brings, Travelling healed me, it made me who I am today, you will never understand this until you have traveled, and by traveled I don't mean a holiday to Greece, I mean backpacking, absorbing whatever culture you are in. I went travelling alone, knowing nobody and came back with friends for life. Its about being brave and going it alone. So in 2014, I already have travel plans set up, Interailing in Europe, Visiting the following: Paris, Notre Dame, Belgium, Rome, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia .
Take Risks
You may never get somewhere, be with someone, or become someone without taking risks. Sometimes things in life can be scary, you may not be brave enough to stand up and do something, to tell someone something, to tell someone how you truly feel, and when you do it may all be too late. In 2014, I vow to say how I feel, to tell people what I think and to do what I want to do. Life's too short to hold back.
Get Over It
In 2014, I will get over it, whatever it may be, whether someone has upset me, whether there has been bad luck, bad news or a bad situation. You cannot dwell on the downsides in life, there will be shit, there will be tough times, but knowing that and being brave for that will make it much easier. So if someone doesn't like me, what I do, or who I am, then that's their problem not mine.
Think Less
Similar to my resolution above, I am going to think less about everything, stress less, and hold faith that things will work out how they are meant to. I have always been a worrier, but that gets you nowhere in life. Embrace the challenges, think less about the consequences, and enjoy the here and the now.
Think More
But at the same time. I will think more about what I want in life, where I want to be, as much as we find our way, we have to put effort into what we want, if we have dreams, we have to be the ones to make that happen, nobody is going to come along in life and do everything for you. You are the creator of your own destiny, and you are the only one that can change your life and make it happen. So think about what you want, what your dreams are, and start paving way for them.
SAVE
One thing i am terrible at is saving. I pay a-lot of bills, rent, car stuff and other annoying things. But I need to save, I am one for big plans, but they won't happen without funds. I will save each week.
Forgive
Forgiving and letting go is a massive thing for me. I have been wronged in the past, but I have forgiven now finally, and I think its such an important thing, so in 2014, if someone hurts me or upsets me, I will forgive and let go, holding onto negativity and dwelling on bad stuff is bad for the soul and will only ever hurt yourself, not the person.
Love
2013, I pledged to stay Single since I came out of a messy long relationship, and I did, and it taught me a-lot about others and myself, in 2014, I will love myself, because loving yourself is the most important thing you can do, I will also be more open to Love itself, and renew my faith in all things lovey dovey, and of course Love - Holding my family and friends close, and appreciating them.
Say Yes More
Taking chances, risks, saying 'Yes' to things you wouldn't normally, trying new things, embracing new people. Saying 'Yes' and being positive may change your life in ways you never knew.
Say No More
I have always been naive, and I am one of these people who would do anything for anyone. In the past I have done things I haven't wanted to do, gone to places I didn't want to go to, Helped people when I really shouldn't have, but all this has made me realize sometimes we need to stand out ground and be true to ourselves, so this year I will not be taking shit, or doing things just to please people. Its about being true to yourself.
So there are my ten resolutions, Let me know yours if you have made any, and have a lovely lazy New Years day!
