The end of the
year is near and that means it’s time to start thinking about who you’ll be
after the clock strikes midnight. But let’s get one thing straight, you don’t
have to wait until January 1st to start those resolutions. No way, you can
start to unpack and rid yourself of the negativities lurking around your
reality right now. So let’s not waste any more time and get to it!
SOCIAL MEDIA
Before you
start freaking out and thinking you’ll die without the ‘gram, we’re not saying
to get rid of them entirely. All we’re saying is that you need to be honest
with yourself for a second. How much time a day do you spend continuously scrolling
on the same handful of apps? Don’t worry, we’ll wait while you figure out the
number.
Okay, now
think about how you could have used that time elsewhere. You could have started
a new hobby, finally gotten around to taking down those holiday decorations...from
last year, spent time with actual friends instead of just liking, commenting
and subscribing on their pages. All of that said, you may want to take baby
steps towards downsizing your screen time by deleting the apps from your phone.
That way, you can only scroll when you’ve got your laptop and some WiFi handy.
Get some of that time back next year and enjoy life. As they say, you only have
one life to live, don’t waste it lurking your exes.
EXES
Speaking of
exes, this should be an obvious thing to rid yourself of but for those of you
who are stubborn - stop it with the exes! Even if you two ended on good terms,
you’re still exes for a reason. Let that relationship stay in the past so you
can live in the present and move ahead towards your future.
TOXIC FRIENDS
It’s always
easier to dump a partner than it is to say adios forever to a friend but
sometimes it has to be done. Especially when that friend is more Mean Girl
pre-bus accident than post. Yes, you’ll be down one less friend but it’s not
worth keeping them around. So if you have a friend who is always negative, puts
you down, lies, cheats, steals or is just a ball of drama in designer - make
like that annoying children’s song and let it go.
BAD HABITS
Don’t go
thinking you’re perfect because we all have at least one horrible habit we need
to put a stop to. Whether it’s something as small as biting your nails or
something rather massive like drinking a little more than the average bear -
it’s time to look in the mirror and see yourself, recognize your flaws, and
figure out how to go about turning them around. And don’t try and be a hero,
it’s not shameful to ask for help if you can’t do it on your own either.
SOUL-CRUSHING
JOBS
Not everyone
wakes up, heads to work, and loves what they do. Sadly, that’s just the reality
we live in but if you are truly miserable clocking into work day in and day
out, put in your two-weeks notice and get the hell out of there. Typically
people spend some 40 hours a week at their job. That doesn’t even include
commute times, which in big cities could add another 10-20 hours to their week.
So imagine spending the next 20 years doing something you loathe for almost 60
hours every week? Miserable ain’t the word. So before you get stuck in a rut
you can’t crawl out of, decide what it is that makes you happy and pursue it!
