1. Go to bed earlier & be more productive in the morning: This was my resolution last year, but I would really like to be asleep before midnight every night so I can get up earlier, and do more, like going to the gym before school.
2. Stop wasting my time on social media: The amount of times I check Facebook and the like is excessive, especially multiple times in a row, just because.
3. Let go of multitasking: There are certain times I need to just let go and focus on one thing at a time. Example: on the treadmill, I feel like I should be reading a book, while listening to music, and reading CNN on the TV in front of me. As Socrates said, "Beware the barrenness of a busy life." I am only one person, so I need to start doing one thing at a time.
4. Stop letting others influence my life: I found a great quote on Pinterest the other day, "A tiger doesn't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep." Too often, I let others thoughts about me make me really upset, even if I don't know them or don't like them. I am who I am, and I need to be confident in it.
5. Swim more, run less: While I love to run, it is really hard on my legs/knees/ankles, and I love to swim, bike, etc., and I need to change up my workouts more.
6. Appreciate every day: My life is going to get really exciting this year, but before graduation, camp, recruitment, college, I have a bit to go. I want to really cherish the last few months I'm spending with my classmates and school.
7. Write more in my journal: I love to write, but I always forget to or I'm too tired at night. I love to read my previous entries, and I just need to open up my journal and write, even if it's only a sentence.
8. Less Diet Coke, more coffee: DC is so bad for me, and I want to cut it down to once a week and make it an occasional treat. I also want to start having just water whenever I go out to eat.
9. Take care of myself more: I take care of myself, but I want to start having my nails done every week, doing my hair, start wearing eye makeup every day, and make my life a little more fabulous, even if it just for myself. I'm worth it.
10. Work harder: It's my last semester of high school, and I want to leave my mark and have my best semester yet. This spring, I'm also taking quite a few AP exams and I want to do really well on them so I can take better courses next year.
What are your resolutions?

I think "stop letting others influence my life" is important and something everyone struggles with. I should put that on my list this year too.

Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteMine are basically the same as yours! I think I have exercise in general more, and to take time off for myself.

I do the same thing with social media!! It's bad. I'm trying to only check Facebook/Twitter/Instagram one time after 5:00.
ReplyDeleteDiet coke for coffee!! I so agree!! I am notorious for my Diet Coke addiction and it is sooo unhealthy. I got a Keirig for Christmas so that will help me with the switch :)
ReplyDeleteI love all of your resolutions & wish you the best of luck with them! Definitely make sure you work hard but also enjoy time with your friends during your final semester of senior year!

ReplyDeleteDiet coke... that's a hard one! And good luck with your last semester of HS!

Love the one about going to bed earlier and waking up earlier. I started to do that once I started grad school, and it's been awesome!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
