Boy Oh Boy! It's time again to make resolutions for the most recently celebrated new year! Typically, while everyone else is promising to go to the gym and quit smoking, I'm refusing to make any sort of resolve to better myself. However as the years go by and my age increases ever so slightly, it's come to my attention that I'm not perfect. I need to grow up and learn how to "adult" more better-er. (My grammar and spelling have always been flawless.) I decided to make some goals for myself in the hopes of becoming a little less broken.
My first goal(resolution) is more of a blanket goal and all other goals I've made kind of add up to this one which is to get organized! I usually have not a single plan in my head about what I'm going to do in a week, a year, or even five years. Planning things out has always seemed really dull to me because I love and crave spontaneity on a daily basis. This year I want to change that though because when I do have an idea of what I'm going to do I feel a lot less stressed and I like being relaxed.
Secondly, I want to do more of the things I love to do like dancing, for example. When I was a kid I used to Irish dance and then we moved and I didn't get back into it. I miss it though and it's the one thing I can say with certainty that I'm passionate about. I also want to just do more creative things.
I suffer from social anxiety and depression so I want to work on that a lot this year. My social anxiety has kept me from experiencing so many things and has prevented me from being able to find a better job and that needs to change. I think I've improved a little bit more towards the end of 2015 but this year I want to be able to go out with my friends and not feel afraid to talk to random people and I want to have a good interview for once.
Lastly, I want to make a difference and get behind a cause I believe in. For the longest time now I've felt like I have the urge to do something significant, like I'm capable of doing something good. I don't yet know what that will be but I'm going to try my best and hope that I succeed. With all the of these media outlets we have so readily available, I feel like I'm wasting my time scrolling through dumb videos and memes when I could be using my voice to do something awesome.
This post got a little deeper than I was expecting but I think it was necessary. I've been given the opportunity to take some time and think about where I am and where I want to go and that's the first step to self improvement right? Hopefully! :)
