I decided a long time ago that I wouldn't make resolutions for new years. I was tired of setting all these huge goals that I would ultimately end up failing. Instead, I started coming up with a few small, attainable goals for myself that I would work toward throughout the year. While I still fail a lot of these goals I set for myself, I find that because of my mindset, I accept the failure of these goals better and learn from them instead of feeling down and sorry for myself. Not only that, but when I DO fail these small goals, I find it so much easier to pick myself up, dust myself off, and keep working at the goal.
At the end of the year I look back on all my small victories, as well as the losses, and feel a sense of accomplishment in my life despite the experience of defeat. At of the end of the year I feel like a better, more well rounded person. A better version of myself.
Here is a list of some of the goals I have set for myself for 2017:
-Drink more water
-Eat less/better
-Walk more
-Sleep less/better
-Write more consistently
-Stop putting off my creativity
-Be more spontaneous
Here's to a great year. Make it yours.
