Everyone starts the new year with a list of things that they promise to do, or even say, new year, new me! Let's be realistic, how long does it take to return to your previous self? A few days, a week, a month? Seems like in the start of January the gyms are jammed packed and everyone is snap chatting their healthy diets. By time February comes around, you're back to Netflix and chill with a bag of potato chips and a Coke.
More than often, we psych ourselves out and put too much pressure of this idea of a new year. Nothing happens overnight ladies and gentleman! Just because two days separated a year doesn't mean you wake up a different person. Let's be real, let's set up goals, take our time, and take things day by day. It's important to not try to rush into the person you want to be. Everything takes time. So don't get so worried about changing over night, which is by the way, impossible.
Write a list of goals, try to accomplish each goal, and then create some more. The new year is not a magical day, but it can be a turning point in your life. The more you're real with yourself, the more likely you will actually change instead of stuffing all of your New Year's resolution into the first few weeks in January.
New year! So own it, but be real with yourself and your situations. If you do make resolutions, keep to it, don't allow yourself to fall off. Believe in your goals, believe in yourself, and go get what you came for!
