Welp, it's December 28...that means it's time to think about resolutions. I don't think I even tried to resolve last year. If I did it was the same thing I resolve every year: lose weight, get a boyfriend, blah blah blah. Here are my new ones:
Love my body no matter what my size is or what it says on the scale
-This is a constant struggle. But I think it's possible for me to achieve this. My goal is to have enough confidence to wear a bikini on the beach when I go in July. I've decided that while a flat stomach and toned everything would be nice, it's not the end all be all to look nice on the beach. So there.
Respect myself and treat said body as a temple:
-Also difficult. But it's high time I give myself the respect I want from other people. There's no reason to be beating myself up all the time...it's not like someone tells me every day how shitty I look. This also means putting effort forth in my appearance. In my opinion, if you look good (like, put some idea of makeup on and vote jeans instead of sweats all the time) you feel...better. Not good all the time, but ok. Hopefully by July I can strut down that beach. If I lose weight, awesome, if I don't, that's ok too. But I will also make a commitment to eating better. Since I have really low iron, I have to incorporate a lot more iron rich food in my diet, which will make me feel less fatigued.
Push myself artistically.
-This is my profession and my passion. And I really want to be the best I can be. So that means doing work outside of the work that I have to do. Also, tapping into my inspiration. Sometimes reading, singing, or just experiencing new things helps with that, but I want to be the best artist I can be. Also, I'm toying with the idea of painting murals in the summer for children's rooms and such. But that's just a pipe dream right now.
Save money.
-That one's sort of self explanatory. :)
