As my winter break off from school comes to a close, I have figured out one thing about myself: I have a very active mind but have a lazy body. Meaning, I want to do everything and anything in this world. As I lay in bed, I day dream about going hiking, going on fun adventures, exercising, playing with my brothers, and anything that involves me moving. But I am stuck in bed because as much as those things sound fun, I would rather sleep and watch Netflix. So I admit I have a problem, and that problem is that I am, in fact, lazy.

Now if my parents or older sister are reading this, they are probably nodding their head in agreement because of their knowledge of this problem I have finally come to tell the world about. I was always called "Lazy Lindsay" by my sister, and now that I am older and have come to realize my problem, I couldn't think of a more true nickname for myself, even though it is not one I would like to be called on a regular basis or one I am proud of.

Even though this is such a pathetic trait to have, it finally lets me see who I am and how I act as a person. I like to do things in increments. Meaning that one day I will go take a hike or go workout at the gym, but only will I do those things in small doses. Once I take my hike, I think it is then time to watch the remaining episodes of the show I was watching on Netflix. Then, after a week of doing solely that, it is again time to find another adventure I would like to go on. I just like to be productive on my own time and for some reason, the motivation to be productive comes irregularly.

As 2015 has come and gone, a new year has come upon us, and resolutions are being made across the world. I am dedicating the year 2016 as a year for me to become "Lively Lindsay" as a way to become more active. This year will be a way for me to be less lazy throughout the rest of my life. I encourage every college student, or anyone really, to really think about how they can change themselves for the better. Even though watching Netflix sounds really fun right now, I am making myself enjoy a day with more activity. I am finally putting my active thoughts into action by not allowing myself to stay in bed, and what a treat that is!
