New year resolutions here we come


New year's resolutions

Happy new year to all you amazing people reading this and I wish you the best in all that you look forward to this year.

With new year comes new clothes, new shoes, new...? I am already out of words. But nonetheless we cannot forget our new year's resolutions.

I too have a list, ready to get me through this year and I am sure most of y'all have one too. But to all those who haven't decided on it yet, here are a few pointers you must check out before writing one down.

1) Health is wealth

Yes, we have heard that a million times. Yet we always manage to side line it, giving ourselves the right to satisfactorily indulge ourselves in unhealthy foods and eating patterns. Aware yet unaware of what we put our beautiful bodies through. Come on, let's have pity on ourselves and start this year with good food, what is it? Fruits, vegetables, meat and fish and we are ready to go. 
Don't forget to gulp down those gallons of water.

2) Exercise

Burn those stubborn carbs and free your body from all those toxins. Get fit. Feeling healthy and fit is the best way to feel more confident and get beautiful skin ( tried it myself). A bit of stretching, cardio, meditation and a sport of your choice and you are ready to rock your body this coming year.

3) Be happy

You heard it right, happiness is the key to your success and prosperous life. Happiness comes from within and you must be ready to be happy for yourself, for all the little things in your life that go unnoticed. Be happy that you are reading this, which means you are alive, breathing and ready to take on life the way it comes.

4) Love

Love others the way you Love yourself. I know it's difficult to do that, so to make it simple, remember to never hate and judge anyone and you have already begun loving them for who they are. 

So go out there and show your love but don't forget yourself. Self loving is never a bad idea.

5) Prioritize

Prioritize your stuff, could be your health, your self, your family, friends, your job,your children, your studies, et al. Knowing your priorities straight is the way to great stability in your life. It will help you give time to the things that are most important in your current life.

6)Give and share

Giving is just amazing, it's a must try, do it this year. It could be giving your time, your love, your support, your help, your warm hugs, your sweet kisses, your hands, your money and your heart. 

Share it all with every person you come across this year at least a thing or two, the blessings and happiness you will get in return will be unimaginable.

7) Hope and smile

I know the world is gloomy and dark and there seems no light to get through it and those days are not much far. All of us are doomed to have the bad, slow days but Hope and only hope will make things straight. Through this all, remember that SMILE is your only weapon. Putting out the darkness and spreading your light.

Remember that, your smile may be the only light someone else has in their lives.

8) Forgive and forget

This one is a tough one, it is difficult to forgive, I know and have been there too, but grudges aren't worth it anyway. By forgiving others you forgive yourself and with forgiving comes forgetting. Yes, forget those bad days, the crazy fights, the back stabs. But don't forget the lessons you learned from it all.

9) Second chances

No one is perfect, not even you. So why be so hard on someone else? Your family, friends, beloved ones, those that you come in contact with, give them those second chances, you never know- sometimes those chances are their parachute to new life.

Give yourself a second chance too, it's you after all. Your own self, you deserve that chance to get up and get going with those amazing aspirations you have and those extraordinary talents the world is waiting for.

10) Let it go

Stop singing the song already! 

You need to let go, let go of your past, your failures, your shortcomings, your fears , your inhibitions, your ex, your failed attempts. Close your eyes and take a deep breath and just do it.

Let go of the walls that you have built over the years, let the light shine on you.

11) Dream

Yes you know it, dreams are the only path that lead you to your destination. Don't give up on them, strive for them with everything you have and make them come true.

12) Pray
Prayer will sail you through rough seas. May your faith be the beacon of light when the shores are far away and also when you first leave the ground. So pray everyday. It will change your life.

Having said all that, you also need to get up and start writing your list already.

All the best and have a great year ahead. Much love and support to all your resolutions.
