The new year is finally here. Welcome 2016! It's an exciting time filled with new beginnings and new goals we have for ourselves. This year, make resolutions that you will actually keep, because they are truly what you need. Here are some resolutions that you shouldn't quit two weeks into the new year.

1. I will no longer accept anything less than I truly deserve.

2. I will not look down on myself, no matter how I feel.

3. I will believe in myself a little more.

4. I will forgive and forget (for real this time).

5. I will continue to live a sparkly, colorful life.

6. I will not change for anyone.

7. I will choose happiness.

8. I will forgive those who have wronged me, and appreciate those who haven't (more than I already do).

9. I will think positively.

10. I will dance more.

11. I will worry less.

12. I will love often.

13. I will be strong.

14. I will be brave.

15. I will be fierce.

16. I will be unstoppable.

Remember these things as you go through the new year. You are amazing and capable of anything. Don't let minor setbacks hold you back, 2016 is your year! Wear red lipstick, do your squats, eat your veggies, and don't let boys be mean to you! Remember, sometimes what you are most afraid of doing, is the very thing that will set you free. So, make a change in your daily routine, but a positive change. Change is scary, but sometimes change is good!

Happy New Year! May this chapter be your best one yet.
