This year has been nothing but eventful. For some of us, it was probably the worst year ever. For others, it could have been everything they ever hoped for. Although a lot of people make New Year’s resolutions of things they are going to do in the new year, they should also consider making a list of things that they should leave behind in the previous year. There are plenty of people, places, and things that do not deserve a place in the new year. Do not let them bring you down in 2016. Here’s a list of things that everyone should forget about in the upcoming year.
The Boy Who Doesn't Deserve You
Forget about him. Leave him behind. It will drive him crazy knowing that you are living a great life without him. Be strong and do not give him the time of day. Everyone knows you are better off without him. You deserve someone better.
The Toxic Friends Who Let You Down
Do not waste your time putting effort into a friendship that is toxic. It is not worth it. It is not easy saying goodbye to a friend, but sometimes it is necessary. You will soon realize how much better off you are without them. Do not keep holding on.
The Negativity That Brings You Down
Change your outlook. Stop being so negative. Bad things will happen if you think bad things will happen. Good things will happen if you think good things will happen. Positivity is key this year.
The Unhealthy Lifestyle That You Live
Start exercising and eating better. A little goes a long way and you will begin to notice a difference. It is hard to start, but once you do, it will be hard to stop and go back to your original habits. You will thank yourself.
The "Goals" That You Shouldn't Want
The 'relationship goals', 'life goals', and 'body goals' you see everywhere should not be your goals. Be in the relationship you want. Live the life you want. Have the body you want. Go out and create your own goals. It is time to be realistic.
That Grudges That You Hold Onto
We all have some grudges. Some people live by 'forgive and forget' and I think we all should to a certain extent. Forgive those you wronged you, and put the memory behind you. Move on from the past.
The Comfort Zone That You're Stuck In
Challenge yourself this year. Try new foods. Go new places. Hangout with new people. Join new clubs and activities. Do everything that you normally wouldn't do. You never know what you'll come to like. Enjoy the unexpected.
The "What If" Questions That Haunt You
We all have them. Stop thinking about the 'what ifs' of your past. We will never know what could have happened, so why should we let that thought bother us? We only know what has happened. It happened for a reason
Say goodbye to 2015 and hello to 2016. Next year won't be the same as the previous year as long as you rid yourself of all of the above. Nothing will be the same. Embrace the difference. Prepare yourself for a year of new possibilities, new lifestyles, and a new you.
"May the next few months be a period of great transformation for you."
