And so it begins … we are pestered with all sorts of top ten lists and tv shows talking all about the best of everything. Not only that, but your world was just inundated with all sorts of hyped up parties and other events that may have been a total let down. With celebrities giving all of their swanky New Year’s Resolutions, one is going to start thinking of having to give to charity, trimming down, hitting the gym more and bringing on more promises to themselves that always seem to get broken.

To be honest … there really is nothing worse than the type of pressure that we put on ourselves time and again to come up with resolutions that are basically only in place to suit others. There is absolutely nobody that wants to be left feeling as though they are less of a person, simply because they do not have a resolution to share with others. However, you find yourself over and over again being asked what your resolutions are.

So, what the fuck are your resolutions for twenty-fifteen … do you have a list of things that you would like to THINK you can and will change about yourself?

Instead of going with normal resolutions that are made to be broken anyhow, I dare you to take a stand against the trend this year. There is nothing worse than getting swept up in the idea of change because many of us will simply forget about the things about our lives that we actually love. When you stop to think about it, the list that should be made could be filled up with everything that has been going right and the good choices that were made in the previous year.

Do not worry about putting yourself down or feeling that you are not good enough. Take the time to look back and reflect at the new friends that you have made during the past year and where you are currently going in your life, that has you feeling good about yourself. Having goals in life is always a great thing and knowing when there is a time for change is equally rewarding. However, at the same time, you will see that your fresh start (after the new year comes on) could already be underway.

You simply have to take your time to realize it and cherish that moment …

To a successful 2015 for you, my friends!
