3 Things To Consider When Making a Resolution in 2019

In This Article:

The New Year is right around the corner, and everyone seems to make a 'resolution' that they swear they are going to follow to become a better version of themselves, or to change something about their lives. Here are some things to consider before making your resolutions this year.

Are you following a fad or is it something you are serious about?

Things such as “I'm going to loose weight" or “I'm going to stop eating sweets" are some of the most common resolutions people come up with. Typically, that's because that's what is popular amongst their little cluster of society, or because it's something to make themselves seem better in a conversation. Think about things that will genuinely help you and that you are doing for a reason better than what makes you sound good in a conversation.

"Do I have a game plan?"

Giphy

Make sure that if you're going to make a resolution, you're positively going to stick to. Make sure that you have a plan. Going into something blind is raising the probability of failure. Set some goals, take things step by step, and think before you act. For example, say you are genuinely thinking about eating lower fat foods because issues with high fats can lead to health problems in the future: things like meal prep, keeping a journal, or having a meeting with a dietitian may help you become more educated and more prepared.

Consider "outside of the box" ideas...

Giphy

Is stead of going with the typical resolutions - my go to being be healthier to loose weight- I considered a resolution like being more thoughtful this year. Things like this are different and may change your perspective on things and become more of a habit.

Take your time with your decisions, and make sure you're serious about pursuing your resolution. You don't want to fall short on your promises to yourself.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
