Resolution

Hey reader.
New Years resolutions. I feel like everyone has the same ones every year.
Typical annoying examples are as followed:
"New Year, New Me!"
or the ever famous,
"My new years resolution is to lose weight and go to the gym. Yaaaaaaaaaa!"
I wish people would really look within themselves and figure out a resolution that could really change them or that actually impacted their lives. Change is scary but it is always a neccesity in this life we live. Things are always transforming. Regardless of how skinny you are or how perfect your "new you" is, there is always room for improvement. Every year, you should be able to reflect on your life and pinpoint something that you know you can change about yourself.
With all that said, my new year's resolution is to be a more positive person. Now, that sound pretty typical for resolutions, right? However, it's different for me. If you knew me well, or if you read most of my blogs, you would know that my attitude is never really the greatest. If you can't tell through my blogs, you will definitely notice if you ever get to know me on a personal level. I'm always really down on myself. Complaining about my weight, or how my hair looks, the way I wear my make-up, just everything about myself I can't stand.. or couldn't stand. But this year is different for me. This year, I have made it a goal to be more positive. Not only with just me but with others too. I need to give people a chance instead of just judging them without really knowing them. When someone really bugs me, I need to learn to not let it get to me because everybody is human and nobody is perfect. So far I have started my positivity with more positive thoughts when I get up in the morning. I look at myself and attempt to slowly disregard the negative comments that enter my head. I remind myself that God made me exactly the way that He intended. That's honestly my saving grace in not completely demolishing how I look. Another thing I'm doing is.. the fact that I'm very unhappy about my weight. I started working out at an actual gym in November. I'm still doing that and go every single day. (....in the summer time, I got enough workout in with surfing and boogie boarding.) So I know that the gym is pretty typical like I stated in the new years resolutions but I'm really committed to it. The next thing that I'm doing is having more patience. That controls my positive attitude, honestly. Without patience, I snap at people right away and don't give them a chance to explain their side nor do I ever really want to hear it. But now.. I'm taking my time. Hearing their side, as well as remembering that nobody is perfect and I mess up just like they do.
So far it's been pretty successful and I plan on continuing this marathon of positivity that has been ever present in my attitude lately. I like being positive.
I still battle with my depression, hard at times. But.. with the gym every day and my new and improved attitude, I noticed a change. Yeah, I still have to take Prozac but.. I see improvement and that's all I need. It can't happen overnight.
So, what's your new years resolution, reader? Did you make one? Leave me a comment because I'm really interested in what yours is. :)
Have a great Thursday night. It's almost the weekend!
God Bless.
