New Year! New resolutions to live by! I'm hoping to achieve all these goals by the end of this year! Hwaiting, Caro! You can do it!
- Lose weight and eat more healthily
I have really bad eating habits, and in 2011, this has made me gain weight. So, I'm hoping to adopt a more healthy diet, consisting of lots of greens and fruits which will hopefully help me in losing those extra kilos.
The last time I had a medical examination, they told me that I needed to drink more water. We're supposed to drink 2L of water per day, right? I wonder if anyone's able to do that. I only drink about 500 ml of water per day, and the rest of the liquid I ingurgitate is usually coffee. But yeah, I've decided to drink more water. Bought myself a new bottle and my goal is to drink at least 1L per day and increase this amount as time goes by. Hopefully, by the end of the year, I'll be drinking the recommended 2L per day!
- Find a full time job in my field (or in any field)
I need one desperately. I love working in hospitality and it's still one of my dreams to open a restaurant, someday... But, I feel like I'm throwing my degree away by not finding a job in IT. I love computers. I love spending time programming stuff or designing websites, and according to my university results, I'm pretty good at it. I just need someone to give me a chance, and I also need not to give up after being rejected again and again. I've already prepared myself mentally, I know I'll be facing rejection after rejection, but yeah, I won't give up. I'm gonna find a job in IT this year, and I'm gonna rock at it. Hopefully... Or yeah, I'm gonna find a new job in hospitality. One which pays me enough for me to become fully independent. God, I'm leaving my fate in Your hands!
I'm 22. I'll be turning 23 this year. But I still don't know how to drive. I started learning while I was still in my home country but I guess it was too much of a hassle back then. I now understand why my father was urging me to get my license! In this year and age, it's kind of a necessity to know how to drive/to own a car. So, I'll hopefully start taking driving lessons this year, but only after I find a full time job.
I started that fanfiction back in 2008 and I still haven't finished it, even though it's already complete in my head. I believe I still have readers wanting me to update. The fact is that I've lost my muse, but I feel so bad for leaving it unfinished. I know it will be hard to write with no inspiration, but I'm going to try. In fact, I've already started on the new chapter. Hopefully, by the end of this year, Assignment will be finally be marked as COMPLETE on ff.net.
- Stop overthinking, be more positive, worry less
I think this is the hardest goal to achieve on this list. I'm realistic, ok... more like bordering pessimistic, and I tend to always think about the worst possible scenarios. I'm trying to think positive thoughts, though. I'm trying to stop worrying over useless matters, to become more carefree. According to Rhonda Byrne, positive thinking is the secret after all, right? I don't really believe that, but... yeah, worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but it never really gets you anywhere...I'm still trying to figure out how to go about his goal. I'm reading self-help books and trying to find focus more on the positives, but it's still really hard to just change my mindset.
Ok, that's a lot to tackle in one year. Wish me luck, whoever's reading this. I'll need it.
