New Year, New Me... Blah Blah
As many of my peers have posted on social media, this year begins the crazy resolution-ers getting back into the gym, on their new diet, planning big trips and unrealistic goals. I'm not going to start the "hate rant" but I think that resolutions should be realistic. Start small and work your way into reaching a goal. You want to lose 30 pounds by December? Let's break it down into weeks so that it seems attainable. You want to travel the world? Let's start by finding a job that pays enough money to buy a few plane tickets.
I've come up with a short list of attainable goals for your 2015.
1. Go big in January.
Do something so crazy that you've been talking yourself into doing. Get that tattoo, chop off all your hair, sign up for a half marathon, buy the laptop, get the car you've been saving up for, buy the shoes! Go big in January so you can't turn back.
2. Clean out your closet
Don't get rid of everything, but if you have a sweater in the back of your closet circa 2006 from your first date, with that weird guy in high school who now lost 80 pounds and attends some Ivy League school... please part ways. For the love of God, get rid of old baggage. The shoes that you can't seem to find an outfit to match with, get rid of them. Donate them, sell them, or have a friends-swap and make it a fun event with the girlfriends!
3. Finish one project
Did you start a scrapbook or some crafty project from Pinterest? Just finish one project, you'll feel accomplished from the start. You'll feel awesome & now you can move on to another.
It doesn't hurt to treat yourself. If you have an upgrade, get that new phone. You've been eyeing that Michael Kors watch or some Steve Madden shoes, get them! Just one big purchase, don't get crazy!
People always try to give an excuse to themselves as to why they 'need' certain items. If you're anything like me, I love shopping and love buying a lot all at once. But please remember, quality over quantity. Forever 21 is awesome, but it's time to upgrade the wardrobe slowly.
5. Organize yourself (so cliche, but start small)
Get a calendar to remind yourself for birthdays, plan fun small trips to make your year 'worth it'. Plan some meals through the week and gym classes. This will help you feel accomplished. Small rewards will lead to bigger ones.
6. Change up your style
Maybe it's time to switch up the baggy sweatpants and basketball shorts to some skirts and jeans. Practice curling your hair or the infamous winged eyeliner, it doesn't hurt to switch it up. You have 365 days to look like a rockstar, let's make it happen right now!!!
Hey look, it's me & I chopped off all my hair!!!
7. Plan ahead
So you want to go wine tasting... well buy your ticket now and iron out the details later. At least you know, you have it booked in your calendar right now. Have you always wanted to travel somewhere? Well book these flights now and start mapping out your plans.
