How can the new year build a new you?

1. Leave the toxic relationships in the past

This may be a very hard thing to do and may take a lot of time, but in the end, it is for your better. Stressing and worrying are tiring and makes it hard for you to move on. The only way that you can let go is if you remove these relationships, no matter how hard it is.

2. Go into the year with an open mind.

Anything can happen. You could meet your future spouse, get your dream job, graduate school, anything. The world is what you want it to be. This is your year for it to happen.

3. Take opportunities when you have it.

If you get offered a job and aren't sure whether to take it or not, do it. Allow yourself to experience these amazing things and take every chance when you get it. You can experience amazing times and meet many people while on the journey.

4. Be Selfish When You Need To

Your life is YOURS. Being selfish sometimes is not wrong, as long as that is not your holding you back. It is your life and whatever you make it is your decision.

5. Focus On The Positives

If your life is only consumed with negative thoughts, you are bound to be a negative person. Try focusing on the positive things in your life, even if it is small.

6. Allow People Into Your Life

Letting people in is a big thing. There are many times I wish I could go back and reconnect with someone that I stopped talking to. Allow new people in and explore different types of personalities and people. You may end up meeting the best person in your life by allowing this.

7. Minimize Social Media

Social Media has overtaken our society in a way that it hard to stay off of it. Try to limit the amount of social media that you use so that you can live in the moment, not through your phone.

8. Work On Being A Better Friend

Everybody makes mistakes in friendships, but try to make yourself a better friend to allow yourself to be happier with the friendship.
