New Years Resolutions

Well it wouldn't be a new year without making some new years resolutions. And here are some that I've come up with.

I am going to be more responsible with my money and try to actual save some of it for once (after my credit card is payed off). I am going to make myself a budget and actually stick to it. I think if I make myself a goal to save up towards then that would be motivating (such as a trip to Las Vegas perhaps).

I am going to try to be healthier-ie trying to make more healthier meals more often and trying not to eat so much fast food. Also trying to get in more exercise. And by more I mean some cause I dont do a lot right now. Especially since it is so cold out. This isnt motivated by image, which is very important. If I alter my image it is just going to be a side effect of being healthier which is ok. I firmly believe that you should be happy no matter your size. We are all our own worst critics and I think it is time that we stop being so hard on ourselves. At work I see a lot of people that are just trying to hide in clothes rather than use them to display their personal style. I dont see the body "problems" that they see. So if no one else knows/notices your "flaws" then why should you worry about them so much. "How to look good naked" is a great show to watch to feel good about the body you've got.

I am going to try to be more positive. This one really isnt new years specific. It is something that I've been trying to do for a while. I'm trying to focus on the good and let the bad go. It is very enlightning. I think what people dont realize is that attitudes are contagious. I would rather there be more happy people walking around so by being happy first you may just brighten someones day which feels pretty good.

So that's all I've got so far. I know they aren't super original or anything but they are definitely good things to strive for.
