Are your Resolutions Doable?

It's about getting them done, not forgetting about them.

Are your Resolutions Doable?
Giphy

The New Year is a time when you might feel like you’re on top of the world. You make a lot of resolutions, but by the six-month mark, those resolutions are out the window. For the year of 2016, I made about five resolutions related to books and I only met two. Here are three ways for you to get your resolutions checked off your list.

Stick to things that you know you’ll get done.

Everyone is different. That’s also a reason as to keep your resolutions particular to you. If you know that it’s impossible for you to wake up every day at 5 a.m., but 7 a.m. is manageable for you, do that instead.

Be realistic.

This point ties into the previous one but it’s true. Being realistic to the resolutions you want to meet this year is key for you to finish them.

Make chores fun.

Most chores are not fun to do. They're boring, but necessary. I get passionate about cleaning the house by listening to audiobooks or podcasts. It sort of makes me forget that I’m doing a chore.

New Year's resolutions are doable if they’re things that stay within your range of motion. By no means is doing things out of your range a bad thing, but if you try to do all of the things at once, then there’s a possibility that you won’t do any of it.

I hope you had a wonderful New Year and your year is full of doing things you enjoy.

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.
