Starting A New Year's Resolution One Day Late

You may be a little late but you still have time to complete it.

Starting A New Year's Resolution One Day Late

It's January 2nd and I've already forgot my New Year's resolution.

However, here are ways to stick to your goals this year.

1. Start by making realistic goals.

If you want to start going to the gym to stay or get in shape, unless you have the time, don't make your goal going to the gym everyday. Try going three or four times a week so you can work around your schedule.

2. Set a goal that YOU want to accomplish; don't just go along with something that all of your friends are doing if it's not something you want.


While your friends may want to go bar hopping every weekend, you may want to binge-watch Jessica Jones or Shameless. By setting a goal that you actually want to achieve, you're more likely to go through with it instead of quitting after a month.

3. Lastly, set a goal that you will enjoy doing.


If you don't like gardening, don't make growing a garden your goal for the year. If you like rock climbing, make your goal to start rock climbing more often. If you set a goal to do something you won't enjoy, then you're less likely to actually do it.

It might be early January, but you can still set a New Year's resolution and you still have a whole year to fulfill it.

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.
