So, I'm sitting here, on my laptop writing this, on New Years Eve. Unfortunately, I did a sensible thing and chose to take a babysitting job and earn some money instead of going out with my friends. However that got cancelled last minute, and I'm now sitting by myself watching one of my favourite movies (The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe).
Anyway, it's been an alright evening. I watched a film with the family, watched the fireworks. It was a nice relaxed night in. I'll appreciate it in the morning anyway.
So I've just been thinking, and I've jotted down a few of my New Years Resolutions:
1. Get More Sleep
It's a well known fact that sleep is vital to a healthy lifestyle and if you know me personally, it will also be a well known fact that I do not sleep (well, at night anyway). I always say how much I love to sleep, but when it comes to actually getting into bed I find a million things to get distracted by, although I do enjoy a long lie-in and a good nap . I also find it really hard to wake up in the mornings and it's starting to cause a few problems. So at the moment I get around 4-5 hours sleep (when I have to be up the next morning), and my goal for 2014 is to get 7 and half hours a night, (half because of the 90 minute cycle thingy and you're supposed to get around 8 hours) so wish me luck!
2. Take More Photos
This is kind of a 'redo' of one of my resolutions from last year. I did manage to take more photos this year, but I think my goal was really more to do with taking pictures of friends and family, days out, holidays, things like that and to be honest that didn't really happen. It's difficult when everyone around me hates having their photo taken, and I don't blame them because at the moment I'm the same, but I'm trying to change that.
3. Be Happier
I guess this is quite a vague one, but I want 2014 to be a great year. That means me being happier, more positive and just enjoying things again. I'm going to stop dwelling on the past and the negative parts of life, start taking chances and just take every opportunity to do new, exciting things and live life.
Something I also want to do this year is try harder with my blog, and my goal is to make at least 2 posts a week.
I hope your year is as fabulous as I'm going to make sure mine is,
