Hey girls, well it is the first day of a new month, which means it is time for me to update you all on my new years resolutions.
I am ashamed of myself this month as I feel like I have failed on all of my resolutions. I have been ill a lot throughout this month and was away, so some of my resolutions failed this month. Anyway here is my update.
- Follow my skin care routine day and night.
- Brush my teeth every day and night.
- Take my vitamins everyday.
- Eat cleaner/healthier.
- Exercise at least 3 times a week.
- Work harder at school and work, so I can get into university.
- Read 6 books by the summer holidays.
- Appreciate all that I have more often.
- Do something that scares me at least once a month.
- Learn to play the ukulele.
I'm just going to say right here the ones I failed on for the same reason/s and they are 1, 2, 4 and 5. I guess 4 out of 5 isn't so bad, I just wish that I hadn't broken them. However I didn't completely break them, as in I haven't given up, which is the main thing. The main problem I had with sticking to these 4 are because I really have been ill a lot this week. I've had a really bad headache and have felt flu-y for most of the month, obviously ruling out any exercise. I also wasn't in the mood to eat healthy because of it, all I wanted was crisps or chocolate, and it was either that or not eat at all, which isn't an option. Also whilst I was away it was really hard to eat healthy as I was eating food that they had and not my own. I didn't exercise whilst there because I felt awkward ha-ha. I was basically just very lazy whilst away, which is why I didn't follow my skincare routine or brush my teeth everyday, and you honestly don't understand how much I regret it.
Now onto the rest of my resolutions.
Take my vitamins everyday I am so happy about this. I haven't missed a single day and I even bought more before I ran out, which I never do, I always buy new after I have finished.
Work harder at school and work This is a hard one as I am still not doing my best, however I do feel more motivated to work and I am starting to get real help with this so that it becomes definite.
Read 6 books by the summer holidays I am still reading my second book of the year, 'Wuthering Heights', which I am almost finished. It is really hard to get into but I only need to read 1 a month to achieve this which is do-able.
Appreciate all that I have more often I don't know if I have said this before or not, but this is a hard one to know if I am achieving, however I do feel like I am. Obviously I do still take things for granted but I feel like I am getting better at that.
Do something that scares my at least once a month OK for this one, what I did will sound strange to a lot of you probably, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I made a phone call. I have a fear of speaking on the phone so this is huge for me, and I am hoping to improve this throughout the year.
Learn to play the ukulele I still haven't played it yet, which I am sad about, but I swear that this month I will start to learn. I really will ha-ha.
So that was it. I am truly disappointed in myself this month and I really hope to do better this month. I'm finding that I have to wean myself off of chocolate again, as I have already had more than I should today, but I know I can do it, and I am excited for it.
How did you guys do this month? Have any of you given up? Let me know in the comments below.
Have a beautiful day and DFTBA
I failed my exercise resolution this month too because of illness - I was disappointed not to stick to it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally get your fear of speaking on the phone - I used to be exactly the same and it took some time to get over it. I'm fine now and hope you will get better with it too hun! :-)
