We're a week into the New Year, and I've been pondering over the past few weeks on what my New Years resolutions should be. I've gone back and forth over the fact that I think New Years resolutions are a complete waste of time and that I really wanna try something new for the New Year. So these are a few of my actual resolutions, a few things that have inspired me to be a better me this year. Maybe they can give you a little inspiration for a better you this year.

1. Relax.

Stop worrying about the little things, especially things you can't control. Life is too short to be constantly stressing about things that you can't change. If it won't matter in a year, don't stress about it now.

2. Eat Healthy.

Go for the bowl of fruit instead of the bowl of chips. Stand the 10 extra minutes to wait until you get home to eat instead of going through the drive thru. Order a water instead of a coke. Changing your eating habits can change your mood, your body and your day.

3. Cut Out the People Who Don't Better You as a Person.

People who only call you when they need something from you? Cut them off. If they aren't inspiring you to be a better person? Cut them off. Someone who doesn't make you want to be the best you, and is just always dragging you down, is a person you don't need in your life.

4. Stick to the Gym Routine.

If going to the gym isn't already a part of your daily routine, adding it in can be somewhat of a pain in the ass, literally. If getting in shape is on your agenda for this New Year, stick to it, don't lose sight of your goal because it is achievable.

5. Try a Little Harder.

Give it your all in everything you do, whether its studying for a test or your everyday job. Giving it your all is rewarding in the end.


So this New Year actually make a resolution and stick to it. Kick this years ass, make 2017 the best year yet.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
