Sometimes we set up so many resolutions for ourselves that we tend to abandon them during the year. I've laid out 7 resolutions that are realistic and would benefit the mind, body, and soul:
1. Take Better Care of Yourself
Eat more “clean” food (not processed), drink more water, work out more, and just do things your body will thank you for.
2. Express Yourself More
I believe within everyone, there is something creative. Try writing a song, pick up a guitar, or go see a show more often. Let your mind open up to the world of creativity!
3. Push Yourself in School
Always towards the end of second semester, we tend to lag on what our priorities are. Remember why you are at this school. Instead of fighting to learn in a class, have open arms to it and you might actually find it fun to learn information.
4. Sleep Better
I am guilty of it myself, but anyone who is wanting to get in shape needs a good sleep routine. I know I need at least 8 hours of sleep to function when I usually get 5-7 a night. I love the new clock app update on the iphone, as I can see how much sleep I am getting a night when I put down my bedtime and when I wake up. It’s so beautiful.
5. Laugh More
It’s so easy to get caught up in the negative from how people treat others. Remember there are a lot of mean people in the world, but don’t let yourself become one of them. Remind yourself to love and you will be loved.
6. Let People in Your Life
In high stress situations, everyone reacts differently. I tend to isolate myself from others because I think being alone is what is best for me. Being alone at times is great and healthy for you, but human interaction and love is so important to survive in this world. Once you start letting others in to your life, you will have a weight of support under you to catch you when you fall..
7. Do Something for The Environment
I’ve been noticing lately that most humans use so much plastic just in a day. This year make a goal to only use a reusable water bottle or when you order to go at a fast food restaurant, ask if they can put the food in your plastic container for you.
These are just a few out of thousands of resolutions to choose from. Just evaluate what you need and what would benefit YOU in your life. Health and happiness should come first in your decisions!
