The time for 'new year, new me' is back! I've never been one to make New Years resolutions... partially because I didn't see the point of waiting for a certain day to change whatever it was that needed changing.
Iam also the type of person that will lose interest if I wait too long. So instead of waiting for the new year, if I see something in my life that needs changing, I'll rather start changing it today! (Well... today is only January 2nd so... waiting for the new year would be a complete waste of my year and time but you get what I mean... 😂) But it's not about when, it's about if you do it. What are the things you want to change this year? I think one of the most important things to do when thinking about that question is setting goals that you know you can reach. If you've never walked up a hill you can't expect to climb the Mount Everest. Set goals that take some effort but don't expect the impossible. You are still human. You can't just snap your fingers and paint the Mona Lisa if you don't even know how to hold a brush. One of the things I am working on is losing weight... yes, still. I made a goal that I would go on a very strict diet. That was in May. I gained weight since May while I was supposed to lose it. Why did that happen? Because my goal was too much to do in the time I had set for it. And because I didn't think it through. So this time I am still working on my weight but I decided to do it differently. Instead of telling myself that I'm going vegan (for example) from one day to the next, I'm just slowly cutting certain things out of my life. I love my meat, sometimes. So instead of eating meat every night, I eat it when I really want it. Other nights we just eat a lot of veggies and we're doing fine. Not eating meat that often is cheaper too 😜. Instead of buying chocolate in advance, I have to go to the store to get it when I crave it. Which I don't do 9/10 times. It's in the little things. Also, I have a few extra days in the week that I can go to the gym now. So instead of waiting till that morning, I can plan to go to the gym in advance. I work best with a schedule. So that's exactly what I'll do. It's all in the little things. Losing weight doesn't start just anywhere. Neither does anything else. It takes time and preparation. So set your New Year's resolutions but stay reasonable! Also... let's make this year the year where we appreciate each other more. I am so sick of seeing people treating others with so much disrespect! I want to see love and respect. And as Ellen always says #BeKindToOneAnother 😄 But I really mean that. I really hope we can start to show more love and respect to the people around us! No matter if we know the person or not. Support each other. We need to be better people and that starts with how we treat our 'neighbors'. To each and everyone of you, I hope this will be a good year for you and everyone around you! Stay strong because no matter how hard life might be or seem, there are better days ahead. I promise!
