Happy new year! Honestly, I haven’t made a formal list of resolutions for a very long time; I kind of just hope for a better the year than the last. But, this year I figured I’d make one so that I can focus on specific things I want to better about myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. The most common one literally ever: learn how to work out<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going to the gym is probably on every person’s list but I don’t care. I have lifted weights a few times before, and I do work out pretty regularly, but I only do cardio. I love doing 12-3-30s and just going on outdoor walks\/runs, but I really want to improve my strength this year. I also have a problem with feeling anxious and embarrassed when I am at the gym because I feel like everyone’s judging me. Consciously, I know that isn’t true, but I literally just have to get over it and start going regularly. When I’m at college, I always put off taking care of myself and my body and prioritize studying and socializing more and never workout. I really want to change that this semester and budget my time where I value my health as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Learn how to cook\/ become more interested in cooking<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I make the same 4 things literally every time I cook. I have no variety in my cooking and like I mentioned earlier, I always prioritize other things over exploring hobbies or taking care of myself while in college. I have gotten a little better in the past semester, but I eat out a lot still because I am so lazy to cook. I have no interest and no idea what to make. I really want to explore making more Indian food, and learning about more veggie substitutes (since I am a vegetarian).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Exploring more creative outlets and making time for them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love creative subjects and I have all my life. Studying engineering only makes me appreciate art even more. I want to expand my artistic subjects to things beyond portraits (I love drawing faces), learn some photography, and start doing my nails more. Fun fact, I have been doing and loving nail art since I was 11, and my collection of nail stuff is massive. I have recently gotten back into doing it again and I feel so put together and beautiful, and the best part is that it’s free, and I have complete control over what they’re going to look like. I also want to expand my fashion choices, and wear things that are less trendy and more timeless. Jewelry is also a recent obsession of mine, and I want to invest my money in more reliable and durable pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Get a tattoo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No idea what it’ll be or where, but I really want one. I’ll be 21 this year so why not. I’ve been saying this to myself every year after I turned 18 but lets see if third times a charm! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Learn how to use hair rollers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really want to learn how to do a blow out by myself. I LOVE blowouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Read more!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This winter break, I have read 3 books. I am SOOOO proud of myself. The last time I read for fun was middle school, and I’ve been trying to get myself to read this past year and I haven’t been able to finish a single book. Finishing 3 in 2 weeks is huge for me!! I think I am going to make a separate page on here for the books I finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Become less anxious<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is another vague resolution, but I really want to practice mindfulness a lot more this year. In 2021, my anxiety was probably at its peak and I had panic attacks before every exam and I had no confidence in myself. Even though I’ve gotten better with academic anxiety, I still feel anxious doing basic things like driving. I am a VERY anxious driver and it’s holding me back a lot. I have gotten better at social anxiety, but I want to work towards getting rid of it once and for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s all for now. Maybe I’ll actually do these since I’ve written them down and posted them publicly (even though no one will probably see this). It’ll hold me semi accountable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyways, happy 2023!! You made it and that’s a huge deal!!! I hope this year is amazing for all of you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
