6 Ideas for New Year's Resolutions
Best Western Sedona

Everyone always talks about their new year's resolutions that typically never follow through. People always make the same resolutions that they always give up on, and the idea never enters into their mind again. Sometimes people make resolutions that are more like short-term goals, and they do not overcome any obstacles to achieve this goal. This year, create your new year's resolutions, but put some thought into it. Be creative with your goals. Here are some out-of-the-box ideas for your new year's resolutions.

1. Pursue a New Art

I am not necessarily talking about your general fine arts like singing, painting, or acting, although you may want to pursue these. Try an art that isn't so common. For instance, I am trying to learn calligraphy because I am so fascinated with it. You could try knitting, or maybe pottery. Take a class that is a bit out of your comfort zone. You may end up loving it!

2. Learn Sign Language

Does anyone ever think of how cool that would be? I would love to know sign language! I am a very fidgety person, so sign language would be enjoyable to me. People always suggest learning a new language, but they rarely suggest sign language. You never know when you will need it!

3. Or Learn Another Language

You will definitely not be fluent in a year, but you could begin a new language this year and continue to pursue it in the future. By the end of the year, you can know how to carry a basic conversation in your new language! I have always wanted to learn Italian or German!

4. Learn to Play a New Instrument

This is another goal that will take longer than a year. Even so, you can make a lot of progress in a year! This takes time and dedication and it is beyond worth it in the end.

5. Do Something Nice for Others Every Day

Seek out nice gestures and try to do something nice each day. If you keep up with it, then you will notice that you have become a happier person.

6. Volunteer Somewhere

Help out somewhere or do something good for your community. I can guarantee you that your community really needs it. There are always places that are in need. Get involved!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
