So Christmas is over, work started again and everyone is preparing for new years. This is the time of year where everyone indulges at their family parties, treats themselves to the good holiday goodies and basically is in fairytale land because the holiday's are always suppose to be a cheery and happy time.

As soon as the fairytale settles in and everyone realizes it's over they start going down memory lane and thinking of all the good, bad and ugly that happened throughout the last year. Then reality hits and everyone starts having regrets, starts thinking about what could have changed and what would have been different and then that's when THE ANNOYING "NEW YEAR, NEW ME" bull crap starts.

Just because we are ringing in a new year does not mean that your life will automatically change and you will be the fit, healthy, lovable and non grouchy Monday person you wanted to be LAST NEW YEARS. Change takes time, effort and dedication. Most of the people who do this typical new years new me bs are the ones who stop their gym membership after a month of really not going and starts buying all the crappy food again and still hate Mondays and are doing the exact same thing they were two weeks prior to the holidays.

What I am trying to say is if you want to change your lifestyle, eating habits and other things in your life you do not have to wait for new years to do it and its just an excuse for you to post some corny Instagram photos with the caption as "new year, new me" so stop trying to fool everyone.

If you are not happy when you look in the mirror, check your bank account or even whats in your fridge get up and go change it, stop pushing it off until the new year and start tomorrow. Like I said earlier change takes time, dedication and a lot of effort so unless you're actually ready for it this year and all of that please do not post or talk about how you will be this fabulous new person just because the calendar will say January 1st come in a few days.

Instead of wasting your breath of the overused saying actually make goals for yourself this year and gradually try to hit them because you won't over night. Make a list, write it in your new planner, new electronic or whatever it is you use everyday and work on bettering yourself and achieving those things you have always wanted.

Be YOU this new years and don't try to put on an act. Happy new year, may all your goals be achieved and yourself be happier.
