So...it's the time of year again where we are all contemplating about what we are doing with our lives and I'm no exception to this rule. My Facebook feed is filling up with pregnancies, children, engagements and weddings and I'm no further forward than I was at 18, with Vodka and a packet of Maltesers being my only company.
Upon reflection I seem to have come to the conclusion that as a person I seem to lack direction, apart from which way the bar is! I've been on a grace period since I turned 18 but now that I'm turning 25 in August I feel that I'm expected to get my sh.. together! The BBC even wrote an article on their website asking whether '25 is the new cut-off point for Adulthood?' with lots of Psychologists agreeing.
As well as evaluating and being reflective we seem to create resolutions that always tend to have fizzled out come the end of January. These unrealistic resoltions only seemed to be able to be made during the month of January and NO other time of year....because this idea would be silly!
This year I didn't bother jumping on the bandwagon and make any definitive New Year's resolutions. In previous years it's just set myself up for failure - I've been promising myself for the past god knows how many years that I will loose weight for certain events and never do! I always find myself googling before the events 'how to loose half of my body weight in 24 hours!' - It's safe to say not many results come up!
Instead of bombarding myself with impossible goals I've planned to make small changes to my life to better myself in general, including:
Making slight changes to my diet
Not just making myself healthier psychically but also mentally
Not going out drinking every weekend
Being more organised
Reconnect with old friends
Read more
Decorate my bedroom
Send returns back WITHIN the time limit
There's still a lot of work to do but at least it's a step in the right direction!
