3 Things To Consider When Making a Resolution in 2019

In This Article:

The New Year is right around the corner, and everyone seems to make a 'resolution' that they swear they are going to follow to become a better version of themselves, or to change something about their lives. Here are some things to consider before making your resolutions this year.

Are you following a fad or is it something you are serious about?

Things such as “I'm going to loose weight" or “I'm going to stop eating sweets" are some of the most common resolutions people come up with. Typically, that's because that's what is popular amongst their little cluster of society, or because it's something to make themselves seem better in a conversation. Think about things that will genuinely help you and that you are doing for a reason better than what makes you sound good in a conversation.

"Do I have a game plan?"

Make sure that if you're going to make a resolution, you're positively going to stick to. Make sure that you have a plan. Going into something blind is raising the probability of failure. Set some goals, take things step by step, and think before you act. For example, say you are genuinely thinking about eating lower fat foods because issues with high fats can lead to health problems in the future: things like meal prep, keeping a journal, or having a meeting with a dietitian may help you become more educated and more prepared.

Consider "outside of the box" ideas...

Is stead of going with the typical resolutions - my go to being be healthier to loose weight- I considered a resolution like being more thoughtful this year. Things like this are different and may change your perspective on things and become more of a habit.

Take your time with your decisions, and make sure you're serious about pursuing your resolution. You don't want to fall short on your promises to yourself.

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.
