10 New Years Resolutions That Will Make Your New Year Memorable

Aren't you excited about 2017? I know i am and there are a lots of goals that i need to accomplish when the New year arrives. Growing up, I've always heard people say " New Year, New Me" but are they actually sticking to what they are saying and trying to make changes in their lives or they're just saying it just to say it ? Whatever the case may be, i think everyone should have a New year resolution that are planning on accomplishing. It doesn't really have to be a new attitude but it can be anything from graduating with a 6.1 G.P.A to going ice skating for the first time. Here are some New year resolutions that will make your 2017, a year of achievement.

1. Forgiving those who have offended you

The New year is approaching and one thing i don't want to do is to hold a grudge against anyone. When you hold a grudge against someone or a group of people, you are only hurting yourself. While this person is living their life and accomplishing their goals, your hurt will sink every time you see this person which can prevent you from functioning well. If it's a family member, an ex boyfriend/girlfriend, friend, or a stranger that offended you, the best thing to do is confront this person privately to discuss how hurt you were when they offended you. Sometimes people hurt us without knowing and sometimes they do it on purpose to disturb our peace but whatever may be, never allow their actions to hurt you and continue living your life peacefully. Forgiveness is a relief.

2. Bonding with family

Spending quality time with family is very important to me because i'm a person who loves physical affection and quality time but it looks like my family have gone " Ghost" on me all the time. There are family members that i don't really know because of lack of communication and the long distance between us. I know there are people who probably never met half of there family members which i can definitely relate too. Since the New year is approaching, it's time to get closer to any distance relatives that you have by having a family reunion and trying to get to know them a lot better. If there is a relative the you don't get along with, try to make peace with them and discuss the issues you have with them so you can let those terrible memories go and start new memories. Spend as much time with each other because you may never know when you will never see them again.

3. Positive attitude ( being a better person)

Like they all say " New year, New Me" but you can actually make this happen by changing your attitude and becoming the best person you can be. If your a negative person, get rid of all of these negative words and replace them with positive words. If your dealing with anger problems, try to find the source of your anger problem and avoid those things that are causing your problems. If you have low self-confidence, work on being more confident in your own skin and love who you are as a person no matter what others say. If you're serious about this "New year, New Me" thing, you should try to make an effort to change instead of repeating this phrase every year without doing the action.

4. Start exercising and an healthy diet

If you ate poorly and gain a lot's of weight in 2016, you can change that unhealthy lifestyle by starting a healthy lifestyle. You can try to join the gym, starting jogging every morning for 30 minutes around the neighborhood, and workout at home using any exercise videos like Shaun T's hip-hop abs or maybe flirty girl fitness. If you don't want to workout, you can join a dance class like Zumba fitness and still burn fat without using any exercise equipment. As for you diet, try limiting the amount of sugar and Carbs you consume. Also, eat foods that are low in fat and sodium. Changing diets is never easy especially when your a lover of cake, cookies, soda, rice, pasta, ice cream, and many other unhealthy foods but with patience and determination, you should be able to do just fine.

5. Regular Doctor's appointment

It's really important to visit the Doctor regularly for a checkup because there are a lots of people who are living with Diabetes, high cholesterol and many other illnesses that they are not aware off which can lead to terrible consequence if they're not treated right away. Don't hesitate to make an appointment.

6. Fixing your mistakes

There are mistakes you wish that you can undo but the truth is that you can never undo a mistake no matter how much you wish you can. The good news is that you can fix your mistakes. For example, if you failed an Algebra course, you can try to get an tutor or watch online tutorials to get better at that subject so you can successful complete that course. If your college graduation is being delayed because you haven't completed your graduation requirements, work on whatever held you back from graduating which can be stress, long work hours, lack of sleep, or a difficult course and try to find solutions to those problems. You can never undo mistakes but you can fix them and learn from them. It's not the end of the world, start fixing now.

7. Stress relieving activities

We all have been stressed out about a situation or an event but staying stressed will only do more harm than good. There are a lots of stress relieving activities that works for you. You can try exercising, reading a book, writing, playing sports, or listening to music. You can do any activities that will work best for you.

8. Planning ahead

You can start planning for future and start listing the goals that you plan on achieving like graduation college, finding a job, purchasing a new house, going to grad school, or working on becoming successful in the future.

9. Trying a new look

People always accept the way you are or love yourself just as you are but if you have a flaw that you want to get rid of, then go for it as long as it doesn't have any consequences that goes with it. If your struggling with acne, you can try to go a Dermatologist to get that problem fixed. If you don't like the way you dress, ask an fashionista for advice. It's ok to try a new look because at the end of the day, we only live once so why not try something new.

10. Whatever will be, will be

Don't worry about how you will get out of a terrible situation or will anything get better just know that whatever happens tomorrow, next week, or next month is not in our hands. Just let go of all of the worries and focus on what you will accomplish.
