As the start of a New Year begins to approach, I think it is a great time to stop and reflect on as to what I want to change in the upcoming year. Many people often set New Years resolutions but by February they are often times already forgotten about. For me, instead of trying to resolve things like loosing weight, eating healthier or studying more, I have deiced to simply strive to be the best version of myself and all those goals that I would normally set will all come with it. I have come to the conclusion that this is MY year! I don’t mean that to sound selfish or self-centered, I have just spent to many of my past years worrying about everyone else but myself.
2016 is going to be the year I stop worrying about the future and focus on the present. This year I don’t want to loose a lot of weight or study more; instead I want to be healthier in all aspects of my life. I want to be all around physically healthy in this New Year not just simply loose 50 pounds. I want to do more then just studying harder, I want to know that I am trying my very best in the upcoming semesters and giving it my 100% no matter the outcome. I don’t want to just sleep more in this New Year, I just want to be well rested so that everyday I can wake up excited to concur the day.
This year I don’t want to call family more often because I set it as my New Years Resolution, I want to call them because I want to and because I miss them. I don’t want to not worry, as much this year because we all know that is impossible. I just want to know that it is all falling into place as it is supposed to be. I want 2016 to be the year that I give back to others and make some kind of impact on my community. I don’t want this year to be the year I vow to be a happy person everyday because life can be hard sometimes, instead I want this year to be the year that I smile at a stranger and change their day. 2016 is the year I am focusing on making ME happy for a change.
I think that as this New Year comes close and I reflect on all that I want to happen in these next 365 days, that it is a perfect year to not worry about what I want to do but to enjoy the little things in life along with my youth. I plan on doing everything I can to make this year the best one for ME. 2016 for me will not be the year of planning out everything that I want. I will not force things to happen this year, instead I will allow everything to play out as it is meant to be. I have chosen to dedicate 2016 to being the year of trusting in God’s plan for me and knowing that everything will fall into place at the right time. So cheers to you 2016, I am ready to see what you have in store for me.
