New Year Resolutions 2017

Hello,

My first introduction to New Year Resolutions was in primary school. Our teacher was away and we were making a racket. The teacher from the neighbouring classroom walked in and asked us to write down 5 New Year Resolutions.

I do not remember my resolutions for that year. But I do remember that for a long time I kept on making a list of New Year resolutions. I stuck to very few, broke most of them.

In recent years, I have not really bothered making a list. Why? Is it because I break most of them anyway so why waste my time? No. I'm not cynical. Not yet. 

I think I have changed the way I look at New Year. New Year to me now means buying a new calendar and getting used to writing the correct year. Ha ha!

I see each day as the 'first day of the rest of my life'. Not because I am doing something momentous each day, but because I'm trying to live each day, each moment. So now I have more 'what is my resolution for today'. Not lists. One thing at a time. 

For instance, I noticed over the past couple of days that I was not drinking enough water. So, today's resolution was "Drink at least two litres of water today". Did I stick to my resolution today? 

You bet I did. In fact I drank some more. 

I cannot handle vagueness. I need concrete doable things. So I feel like a winner today. 

What's my resolution for tomorrow? Eat 2 whole fruits. Not drink packaged juice, but chew two whole fruits tomorrow. Will I keep my resolution? You bet, I will.

New Year Resolutions 2015

Every year you and I make new year resolutions. Some we stick to, others are forgotten and fall by the wayside. 

Well this year I'm just going to reaffirm last year's resolutions, some of which I followed honestly, others... well sometimes I was too lazy to keep up everyday. 

I know many of you may be travelling in the same boat as me. So let's remake some new year resolutions and try our best to follow through with them!

So Here Goes...............

1.  I will moisturise my skin no matter how late I am for work!
 


2.  I will apply sunscreen everyday, through every season!

 

3.  I will protect my skin, my health and my earth by using organic products.











4.  I will care for my hair by regularly oiling and conditioning.


5.  I will exfoliate my skin at least once every week.


6.  I will remove every last bit of makeup before I go to sleep every night.


7. I will try to get 8 hours of sleep every night (This is by far the toughest resolution EVER!!).
