It is the new year and other than "new year, new me" captions that means New Years resolutions. If you have already failed at keeping your resolutions, don't feel bad, you're not the only one. And who can blame you? When you wanted to eat healthy and work out more you- if you are anything like me- imagined smoothie bowls and boxing like you're Gigi Hadid and Adriana Lima. You know, both activities being simultaneously healthy and aesthetically pleasing for Instagram. But it's been a few days into the new year and you may be realizing that your resolutions aren't all kale and family bonding. And that maybe, again this may just be me, your New Years resolutions look a little different in reality than you imagined them when you on a champagne high.
1. Eat healthy.
It took you two days into eating healthy to realize that you deserve happiness, also known as ice cream.
2. Drink less.
Just one glass of wine.
3. Exercise more.
This one comes with a few steps.
Step 1: The intention.
Step 2: The attempt.
Step 3: The defeat.
4. Socialize a little bit more.
My bed missed me and I can't keep toying with its emotions like this.
5. Spend less, save more.
I can't prove it but I have a strong feeling that no one ever got to heaven and said, "Thank God I didn't buy that pair of shoes."
6. Spend more time with family and friends.
This one just needs to be amended a little bit:"Spend more time with family and friends but not too much."
7. Get organized.
What really is "organized". Do you know what day it is? Do you know when your classes are? Good, resolution complete.
8. "I'm not making any resolutions this year."
9. Learn something new/ getting a new hobby.
You are a busy person, whom more often then not needs at least two naps a day. Why in God's name do you think you have time to take on a hobby?
10. Travel more.
To start a GoFundMe or donate my kidney? That is the question.
11. Read more.
Just pointing out that, the microwave instructions, the menu, the movie times, Facebook statuses, Instagram captions, tweets all require reading.
12. Spend less time watching Netflix, Hulu, Youtube videos, etc.
Quitting cold turkey was unrealistic. That was where this went wrong. Maybe limit yourself to 10 episodes a day and go from there.
13. Gossip less.
You're not proud of it but you need it.
14. Worry less.
15. Be nicer.
Baby steps- there's always next year.
