It's almost 2018. Another 365 days have flown by and we are moving onto a new year. So I guess that means it is about time to start coming up with those New Year’s resolutions. My guess is that the majority of resolutions I am going to hear are going to be something involving “Get a better body” or “Lose 10lbs” and I have a problem with this.

Some people really want to lose weight for health reasons. And in that case, that is totally okay. However, what is not okay is wanting to look different for others, or because that is what the media is showing you that you should do. You need to look good for yourself. You need to be able to wake up and call yourself beautiful. If you are doing that, STOP WORRYING WHAT OTHERS THINK THEN. Don’t look good for that guy at the bar. Don’t lose weight because the magazine tells you that you should. Look good for yourself.

So here are a couple of suggestions on New Year’s resolutions that deal with taking care of yourself and making yourself happy:

1. Make time for happiness

2. Make time for yourself

3. Don’t rely on other’s all of the time

4. Ask for help when you need it

5. Love yourself more

6. Love your friends and family with everything you have

7. Eat healthier

8. Work out for health reasons or to make yourself happy
