Resolutions for the Mind, Body, and Soul

7 Ideas to start your New Year.

Resolutions for the Mind, Body, and Soul

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!

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.
