Every year I find it hard to admit that Christmas is over, but with that comes the responsibility of kickstarting a new year and that is something I find very exciting as it feels as though there is an endless amount of possibilities as to what could happen in the next 12 months. For me, 2015 was the year I gained a mass amount of confidence and truly started to believe in myself. As a whole it was an overwhelming year and looking back at the very start of 2015, I would've never expected SUCH an incredible year to follow. Hard work and determination is the main factor that meant that 2015 was so insane and I'm very proud of what I achieved. It's fair to say 2015 has been has been a standout year for me and one I will never forget.
Sooooo, with the vast majority of 2016 in front of us what do you want to achieve this year?
I have a short list of resolutions which I am going to share with you:
I'm not really one for procrastinating but when I do it's bad. Although I don't do it a lot, I can spend up to an hour on Instagram flicking through various accounts whilst still worrying about the task I set out to do in the first place. By the time I've actually exhausted social media I'll resort to completing the original task but whilst doing so I'll be regretting the time I've just wasted. See the viscous cycle? I am normally a motivated person so when I can feel procrastination coming on I need to dig deep down and realise why the outcome will be positive and what good it will lead to.
Sport and exercise has always been a big part of what I enjoy doing but 2015 saw me taking a little bit of a back burner when it came to this aspect of my life. The main reason I didn't do as much exercise as I would have liked was down to not having the time. This seems to be everyone's excuse but it's hard to repeatedly make time for something that isn't my main focus. I still did a reasonable amount of exercise but not like I had done in previous years. I believe a healthy body equals a healthy mind so one of my goals is to continuously set time aside to exercise in 2016.
Regretfully, reading has never been something I've enjoyed doing yet I've always loved the subject English at school and I'm hoping to take English Language as I venture on in my life. Last year I set a task whilst on holiday of reading at least two books and I did it - it just seems that when I'm back in the real world I never make time for reading. There are so many books out there so I don't really have the excuse of not being able to find one I fancy. I have plenty of fashion based books which I'm hoping to get through this year but I also want to read some proper, gripping books. I also want to read more blog posts as there is some amazing content out there which just ends up sitting in my Bloglovin' feed.
Anyone that knows me knows I like to take control of a situation but sometimes I go into 'control freak' mode (though for all the right reasons!). This year I want to let things happen without having to get involved too much. Sometimes it's best if I just let things slide even if they're not done in the way I would've preferred. I'll probably end up relaxing more and worrying less. Win, win!
So there you have it, a few of the things I'd like to achieve in 2016! I'm hoping that writing my resolutions down will mean that I'm more likely to stick to them. Without a doubt 2016 will be as or even more exciting and memorable as 2015!
Here's to another an amazing year.
Love, Mais.
