New year, new me?
This is probably the most stereotypical New Year's resolution ever. Everyone always says that they are going to make huge changes when the New Year comes around. Usually, these goals include getting in shape, eating healthier or working harder. Even though all of these resolutions are very important, many people often forget about being happy and staying positive. Almost every day, people get upset over little things and let that ruin their day instead of trying to stay positive. I think that if people's New Year's resolutions were to stay positive it would positively impact their lives and the people around them.
In life, things go wrong all the time.
Most of the time these problems are out of our control. What we can control is our reaction to these problems and the way we try to solve them. We need to try and let the problems roll off of our shoulders instead of letting them ruin our lives. Even if just one person tried to stay more positive, it could improve so many people's lives. There is so much to be thankful for and happy about, and we should focus on this instead of being upset and mad about the things we don't have.
Having said this, there are sometimes overbearing problems.
Sometimes problems feel too big and too difficult for people to let roll off their shoulders. During these times, it is important to remember that there is going to be a silver lining at the end of the situation. During these times, remember to turn to family members and friends. Let loves ones in. Nothing can make a situation better than being with the people who care the most.
Now, this is clearly easier said than done.
But there are always small things you can do to stay positive if you run into these situations. If you get a bad grade or have a problem with your boyfriend/girlfriend, go and hang out with your friends. Nothing feels better than hanging out with your squad. Also, I'm convinced that there is nothing a good song can't fix. Blasting your favorite song and dancing can basically fix any problem. If you have a problem you can change, take the steps you need to and make sure everything works out.
We should laugh, joke and hang out with family and friends.
We should dance like no one is watching. We should follow our hearts. We should do what makes us happy. We should work hard and play hard. We should smile. We should help others. We should make a difference. We should eat good food. We should be positive and love the life we're living. We should take the time to deserve the little things in life and to make ourselves truly happy.
