I’m not one for new years resolutions because why should you need an excuse to improve or change things, realistically, new years is just another day, like any other, so it’s never too late for change and NEVER use the excuse of ‘I’ll try again next year’. However, there are some things that I would like to put in place over the next few months to help and improve myself and my mental wellbeing, so I will be sharing these with you.
- Make time for myself
I have a very busy schedule most of the time and find that I don’t have many nights in, I’m either at work, at college, or doing college work. My weeks are the same, they just roll around and I carry on in my rotating bubble, however I do often finding myself becoming tired very easy, due to not having much time for myself. My Mondays and Tuesdays consist of me completing my college work, on Wednesday I’m at college then work in the evening, all of Thursday and Friday morning, I am still at college then Friday evening rolls round and its work. The weekend flies by with me working pretty much all of it. It’s a busy schedule where I don’t often spend enough time with my friends and family… and me. On the 3 evenings I do have free I need to make sure I don’t waste them. Get all my work things done in the day so I have time to socialise with friends in the evening, or just sit on the sofa with my mum and catch up on the day.
- Get back into fitness
My time for fitness has disappeared, just like it has for myself so this goes hand in hand with my last point. I want to get to a point where I am happy with my fitness levels and happy with how my body looks because of it. At the moment, I’m far far from it. This is because with the time I do have, I don’t use productively. Fitness is such a great thing mentally and most of the time I say, ‘urgh I can’t be bothered’, which bugs me because when I do work out or run, I never regret it after. I need to sort out a weekly schedule and add in exercise so that it becomes a regular thing and not a one off chore. I actually really enjoy excising and have always loved working out but fitting it into my life is the hardest part. I need to join a gym, so that I have a reason to go, my reason will be that I am paying for it so I have to!
- Use my phone less
As a nation, we are constantly on our phones, whether thats on Snapchat, Instagram or Twitter, we are still looking down at a screen and are missing the things happening around us. Although phones are great and help me with many things, I need to take some time out now and again. With social medias there comes a lot of pressures on image, which is something I struggle with. Also everyone makes out that they have something which we may not recognise which is a ‘perfect life’. I know, I know, who knew that was a thing! But I need to concentrate on my life more than theirs, and for a fact, I know that theirs is not perfect, but we all like it to look that way. But what I’m saying is that I need to focus on other stuff more than what some celebrity has posted on Instagram!
- Be more positive
Generally I am quite a negative person, and I can easily get myself in a sad, depressed mindset, so I’d really like to improve my mindset so that it’s a little more positive than depressing. I know that this would really help my mental wellbeing and help me become more motivated. I know that if I try then it will really make a different on my outlook on life.
What are your goals over the next few months? Are they the same as mine? Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to know what kind of things you’ll be improving about yourself!
Lots of Love
