Resolutions & Predictions

I've been doing this thing with my best friend for the past few years. At the end of each year, we do a round-up of the year. We put together our resolutions. Pretty typical stuff. We also do a predictions list- what are the good and bad things we think will happen to us this year. Here's mine.

PREDICTIONS
(This year, I decided to be more optimistic with my predictions. The key is to start the year off with some optimism. This is also part of my resolution this year.) 
  1. You'll get more tattoos. 
  2. You'll recommit to yoga.
  3. Your body will continue to deteriorate.
  4. You will get a job at an agency. 
  5. You'll continue to prioritize travel in your life. You'll travel more. 
  6. You'll meet someone worth dating. He'll be good for you.
  7. You'll take better care of your body. 
  8. You'll find more light in your world, and in yourself. You'll change your thinking/perspective.
RESOLUTIONS
  1. A ride-or-die love.
    To stop settling for love/relationships that are anything but extraordinary. To stop letting loneliness and boredom dictate the level of love I feel I deserve. To quote, "There are so many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn't be one of them."
  2. No fast fashion.
    See how long I might last with this challenge of no new clothes. See how I might react without this avenue of stress spending; reaction. I am still allowed to shop vintage and/or local. Some exceptions to this rule: jewellery, shoes and homeware.
  3. Try Whole30 once. 
  4. A year-long commitment to yoga (and meditation).
  5. A commitment to health, and taking better care of this body.
    I want to cut out the unhealthy junk I put into my body. I want to learn how to manage my gut health. To drink more water. To manage better sleeping patterns. I want to try a less meat-heavy diet.
  6. Learn not to overextend myself.
  7. Be more conscious of the negativity I put into the world.
    How do I think more positively?
    How do I become a better source of light?
  8.  Take a trip. Take trips. 
  9. Don't forget your friends.
    Maintain your relationships despite your busy schedule. Put time aside for the people in your life so they will stay people in your life. Make time. Place value on these relationships.
  10. Move towards vegetarianism. 
  11. Control your drinking habits. Reassess your relationship with alcohol.
