New Year's Resolutions...

Hello! So, let's start fresh with the weekly blogging shall we? Yes, I know I wasn't the best at keeping up with blog posts last year (which was only 5 days ago) however I am planning on being much better in 2016 (since 4 days ago), I promise! Anyway, back to the post (even though it's not too far off topic for once!) ...

This post is basically going to be all about new year's resolutions and what mine are and how I'm planning on sticking to them *fingers crossed* and hopefully it might give you some ideas. To be honest even if I don't manage to stick to some of these, as long as I'm happy I'm not going to be that bothered and you shouldn't be either. Life isn't meant to be planned out so just take each day as it comes!

 

1. My first and main resolution is probably to be more confident and I don't mean in general for me, because all of my family and friends would say that I'm pretty confident but I mean more when I'm out and about or even in class (don't say you don't find some teachers at least a little bit scary!) If you're like me and you're one of those people in class who just sit there not saying a word unless you're sitting next to a friend (luckily I am next to a friend in most of my classes), it's especially awkward when you're told to work in a pair or a group of people who you don't hang out with. Believe me, I have been there!

 

So to start feeling a bit more confident I'm going to actually try and make conversation with the people on my table, people won't think you're as shy or quiet (if you don't want to be that person anymore) and you never know, you might make even more friends as cheesy as it sounds!

 

 

 

2. To become more fit and healthy. Yeah... I'm not the best at that! Saying that, however, I was starting to really try by the end of last year and now I think it's going to be much easier to start exercising and eating healthily more often. The only way you're going to be able to achieve this resolution easily is probably by warming yourself up to it. Take it one step at a time because otherwise you're not going to be able to get used to it properly. I've been trying to include more vegetables in my diet (for someone who used to only eat carrots under protest, I'm doing good!) and eat fruit more often. I also got a smoothie blender/juicer for Christmas which is AMAZING because I love inventing different kinds of smoothies and drinking them so I think that's definitely going to help! I'm also going to try and eat as little sugary food as possible ... I did receive a lot of sweets and chocolate for Christmas so I might just have to eat those before I start doing that part though!

 

I'm also planning on getting fitter by doing more exercise. I've been trying to fit in 30 mins to an hour most days a week and I've been trying to vary it by maybe one day doing a bit of dancing (most fun workout ever!), another day looking up a workout video on YouTube (highly recommend searching up Danielle Peazer!) or even when the weather is nicer, do some skipping or hula-hooping outside for a bit (in the safety of my garden obvs!) I'm not interested in losing lots of weight, apart from perhaps what I gained as punishment for eating too much DELICIOUS food over Christmas!

 

 

3. Be much more organised and tidy. I am literally the worst when it comes to tidying. The mess just starts building up more and more and I honestly don't even know how it gets there sometimes (it's probably the fairies!) I'm an absolute nightmare, no joke! I did have a MASSIVE tidy up of my bedroom and considering the size of it (my room is so small!), it took 2 days to actually clear everything up, I was exhausted by the end of it! However, I do love getting organised, especially when it means lots of pretty notebooks and diaries and calendars. I am in love with my new To Do Diary for 2016 as it has such a cool pattern on and I'm planning on using my organiser that I got last year which isn't for any specific year so I can keep filling that up as well.

 

Obviously part of the reason why I want to get organised is because of this blog as I really want to keep it up! It's just so fun to do and I really hope you have liked it whether you have read it from the start or only just today! Thank you! <3

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, I haven't actually done anything like this before but if you all like it (please leave me a comment below) then I would love to do more blog posts more full of writing on certain topics! Post soon xx
