It has been a long time since I used this blog. As new technologies and apps come out good ol' faithfuls get pushed to the side I must admit. A friend of mine is responsible for this post actually (big up yourself Nikita hahaha). She said she missed reading my posts so I thought hmm maybe I should write again. Then came the big question - what do I write about?
I sat with my laptop and typed then cleared the screen then typed and cleared multiple times. Ideas that seemed great popped into my head and by the time I got home or got to the laptop to start typing they didn't seem that hot again. So I wrote nothing. What's different this time? Well, I don't know to be honest. Even as I'm typing I'm wondering if when I stop I'll just erase it all again or not. A waste of time? Not really. Gets the cobwebs out and the machine oiled up again. Or so I think.
There are quite a few things on my mind right now and as I babble on as per usual I'm trying to decide what to start with. Hmmmmmmmmm...I think I'll choose this:
December is a month of celebration. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, eating, drinking and being merry or as close to merry as possible. As December comes to a close we begin to prepare for our fresh start, the big New Year! where we believe we get to wipe our board clean and start again. I think I may have said it here before but I generally loathe New Years. I always hear Celine Dion singing in my ears a new year is dawning and what have you done? Oh hush up Celine! I know I haven't really done anything. I know I'm not where I want or should be in life. I never understand why people always feel so excited for the new year. Maybe it's because in my reflection of where I want to go I look at where I have been and realised I haven't moved much. But every so often (at least once until now) I actually feel excited and happy about the new year. I feel that buzz inside of me where I think what am I doing for new years? I want to go out or I just want to celebrate! This coming year maybe it's the heavens saying I told you I got a plan for you! It's going to come into action, but I'm excited. I am looking forward to the celebration.
I don't do resolutions. I believe that if you want to change something do it the moment you think of it. I wanna eat better and get fit. Do it now! Waiting until January 1st to start eating more salad with less dressing, less starchy foods and more fiber won't work. If you think of it June 29th do it then. Each day is a new year. I do however, believe in plans! I think the reason why I am so excited for the new year is because of the plans I have in store for myself. Taking my fitness training to another level excites me. I'm not waiting for January 1st to start saving for my course. No. The moment I heard about the course and decided yes this is for me I started saving towards it. By the time the new year arrives I'll be well on my way to achieving my goal and that makes it even better. By using this head start I achieve a goal sooner and it almost seems easier. This keeps me motivated and moving forward.
There are a few other things on my mind, but I think I'll save them for another post or two. But leave a comment and let me know if you do resolutions. What are your goals for 2014? And are you looking forward to the new year?
Till you read again,
Au revoir!
