With the new year upon us -- just at the end of this week (Where did 2015 go?), resolutions are probably all you hear and think about. They are cliche, overdone, and often forgotten come January 28th.
But in the spirit of positivity, here are a few of the things I am sure many of us are looking forward to this coming year. Use this as a little inspiration for you to orient yourself towards the coming year.
Exercise Even More
I know this is something on the top of everyone's to-do list -- per usual, but making it a priority is the plan. Look up exercises, plan in advance, hold yourself accountable -- or even just find someone to hold you accountable. I have faith it can be done and will be doing it right along with you.
Save More
If you are a college student:This is a must. We don't like to admit it, but it is the truth. Personally, times are rough; ya gotta be prepared. Depending on your situation set a little money aside whenever you can, or make it mroe structured with a portion of each paycheck. My personal favorite used to be to save money anytime I had a $5 bill in my possession -- stick it in a jar, and don't touch it: Soon you will have a small fortune.
Explore More
Whether it is just in your own town, the next town over, or an extensive road trip, train ride/plane, take a little advice from Nike and just do it! go adventuring and travel all ya can. Not only is it divine fun, but it's good for you.
Think of Others More
This is one of the few things you can rarely do in excess. The holiday season is always abuzz with the idea of sharing and caring. However, if everyone just carried this sentiment into the new year, the world would probably be a much better place. Come January 1st and on pay it forward, even in the smallest way.
Think of You More
Now you may be thinking this makes no sense after my previous bullet, but hear me out(!), be just a little kinder to yourself in 2016. Between job(s), school, relationships, organizations, and every other commitment under the sun, you have to remember you do not have to do it all. Stay patient with yourself, love yourself, and most definitely treat yourself.
