Shake up your Life: 5 ways to make 2017 your year!!
So i'm not gonna start this post with the usual "new year, new me" thing because we all hear that saying over and over, but do we really follow through? hah no. i normally have my list of resolutions from a few years back and re use it every year cos yeah i couldn't accomplish anything i set out to do. BUT.. this year i feel like its different. Honestly i say this at the beginning of every year but this time i want to actually mean it! so below are 5 ways to make your 2017 a good year xoxo Sj
1. SET GOALS
i feel like the best way to do this is to think about what you want to accomplish this year, for ex; one of my new years resolutions is to be consistent with this blog
so what i did was i bought a big whiteboard, put it up on my wall and wrote it down! this way i see it and keep it in my mind so i don't forget.
2. MAKE A PLAN
I feel like this is the part i just get stuck on. I know my goals. I know exactly what i want to achieve. But then i get stuck on the part that i actually need to think about to get there. Its really important that you have a plan. For ex; to make this blog more consistent i'm gonna set a certain time to do post every week! and with a plan its easy to follow through and reach your goals
3. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO LIFT YOU UP
This one is pretty important. We all have that one friend who just makes those "sarcastic" comments about you and every idea you come with, and at some point we start to take it to heart. I don't know about you but i normally feel so discouraged. I think this year, we should try out best to cut out negative people from our lives. it makes such a big difference!!
4. CONFIDENCE CONFIDENCE CONFIDENCE
k i know ur thinking obviously this comes up but LISTEN. Confidence is so important like i can not even stress about it enough. In your fashion sense, makeup, everything u do requires confidence. Without confidence, what is the point in doing what we are doing? for the sake of others? of course not. Confidence is one of my biggest goals this year. I know i probably have it on my list every year but i feel like this year, i'm actually gonna prove to the world that this is who i am and if i like it then who cares if someone else dosen't. Which brings me to the last point....
5. BE YOURSELFF
Actually maybe this one is the most mainstream goal above all. Yes, i said be yourself. Being yourself is something that i can talk about for days but i'm gonna keep it very short. The world wants to see you for who you are. We don't need duplicates of others cos there can only be one you. Being yourself, loving yourself all relieve us from so much stress and pressure from media, friends etc. "How others see you, is not important. How you see yourself, means everything."
