I’m normally not one to really make New Year’s resolutions, mostly because I hate making promises I can’t keep. But throughout 2012, certain things kept coming up that I wanted to (and tried every so often) to improve on, so why not start fresh and make those my resolutions for 2013? These may not be life altering or entirely original, but who says they have to be? Here’s what I’m gonna work on this year. Drum roll please…
1. Drink More Water.
Carry a water bottle at all times. It’ll increase your energy (and improve your skin!).
2. Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling.
As I like to say, it’s okay to be not okay. If you’re pissed off, let yourself be pissed off.
When you tell yourself you shouldn’t be, it just makes you feel worse.
2. Get out more on weeknights.
You’re only 24. You can afford to go to bed past 9:30pm.
What are your New Year’s Resolutions??
Amanda Says
Fabulous resolutions! They all sound pretty good to me. Especially number three. Sometimes, I forget I’m still in my twenties and can stay out later than 8. I’ll be fine! :)
Best of luck this year!

I have a bad habit of holding in everything (and making myself in a worse mood) simply because I feel like I shouldn’t have a certain emotion. You’ve come up with a great resolution for that!

These are great resolutions. They are practical but really worth the effort.
I too don’t necessarily make resolutions. The reason for this is mostly because I dislike the fact that I wait until the new year comes to “make change.” I start feeling bad that I didn’t take the initiative earlier. lol.
But, this year, I do hope to become more active (physically), be a better spouse and friend and to be more social since I’m such a naturally shy person. The last one is always a hard one for me. =)
xo,
nancy

Love #2. I am also 24 and feel the same way! It’s so easy to come home from work and start a tv marathon while cooking dinner. Sleep is for the old, 2013 is for living!
Katie Says
Short & sweet list- I need to work on going out more too. It’s so easy to just get in my comfy’s and spend the night snuggling my pups!
Tip for drinking more water – use a straw!! Totally helps!
