‘Why wait until the new year to make a change?’
Realistically, you can make a change in your life whenever
you feel like, there isn't really a need to wait until a certain date to do it.
However, for me, I guess there’s something quite therapeutic and fulfilling looking back
at my last year’s achievements and adventures along with my completed and
outstanding resolutions.
Life can become so repetitive and dull sometimes; days
and weeks suddenly start merging into one, big, long muddle of memories, work, chores and forgotten
aspirations, it's easy to get bogged down with life and find that another year has passed by and you really have nothing to show for it.
With my resolutions, instead of doing self improvements, which I'm always trying to do (cos' let's face it, there's a lot that needs improving) I instead set aside adventures and dreams I’d like to
do throughout the year and to make them easy to manage and actually achieve, I organise them from month to month.
For instance, I really want
to go surfing and it just so happens my friends are getting married in Cornwall
in June, so for June, I want to ensure I go surfing. Another example would be I want to eat clean for an entire month or not to have any takeaways.
Hopefully you
can see the pattern, I just want to ensure that I’ve tried my hand at as many things
I can, try and be healthy as possible, all the while doing things I usually just forget about.
(It’s basically just me kicking myself up the arse and getting myself into gear, which I think we all need sometimes).
So here it is, my 'kick up the arse' for the entire year:

Have you made any resolutions this year? Do you even think there worthwhile? Can you think of any adventures I can embark on? Let me know in the comments below.
