Since it is now the 11th January, I think it’s time for some New Year’s resolutions, something I haven’t done for a few years now. I hate this part of the new year- where people expect you to be all hopeful and miraculously change yourself. But I do have a few important things I feel merit the name “resolutions” and I figured writing them down and having any Tom, Dick or Harry be able to read them on the internet would encourage me to keep them. Here it goes:
1. Lose some weight and be healthier.
Probably the resolution of millions, but I guarantee I’m more determined than the majority of them. Plus, like everyone I properly binged over Christmas and have put on weight since coming to France- damn those patisseries. So now I’m not overly confident with the way I look, so I’m going to change it.
2. Stop feeling guilty for doing things I want to do.
Credit goes to my friend for this one because she realised this is a rather significant issue I have. For example, I wanted to go horse riding, but felt guilty about spending the money. Now that I know I do this, I’ve realised there is absolutely no cause for it either.
3. Dance like no one is watching.
My Auntie bought me a bangle with this saying printed on the edges and it suddenly struck how poignant this is for me. Sometimes I really do just need to stop caring about what others think and go for it.
I think the traditional 10 resolutions are a bit ambitious for me, so I’m sticking with three. Wish me luck!
