New year, old me.

Hello humans

Do you live under a rock? Well if that's not the case, you've probably heard or seen the phrase: "New year, new me" at some point on social media in January.

Every year in January phrases like that will pop up everywhere making you fall in love with the idea of a bright and exciting new year and encourage people all around to change their ways. And last year.. Well, i fell for it. A lot of things changed for me in 2014. I quit a job i loved to get an education i thought i wanted and it was new and scary, but i was positive and certain that as long as i stayed that way, the new me would eventually thrive. But sadly, that's not always the way things work out.

I tried. I worked so hard to be the new me and convince myself that what i was doing was right, despite the blinking red lights inside.

As you might have guessed, It didn't work out and I lost myself in the process.

Things ended on a good note though, when i got my old job back in November and things are off to a good start i 2015.

Soo this year there is no new me. This year i wanna get back to old me and get comfortable with being her again. 

That being said, i still have some resolutions and goals i would like to achieve this year:

Write one blog-post a month

I've wanted to do write a post so many times, but haven't because I've been too scared. But no more of that! One post a month is a must, but if i feel like it, i might post some more.

Do what makes ME feel good

It doesn't matter if it's choosing the salad instead of the fries or eating that piece of chocolate you've been craving all day. It's all about doing what makes ME feel good.

Don't say what's on your mind

Someone brought to my attention that I'd started to get quite a habit of criticizing myself out loud. A habit I do not wanna bring into the new year. I saw a documentary on body image that said, that not saying the bad things you think of yourself out loud, makes you gradually stop thinking them - so consider this my own little experiment in the name of self esteem and science of course!

Youtube

Every since I saw my first youtube video years ago I've wanted to make videos of my own. But the thing is, i never really had the courage to do it and the list of excuses are endless! But this year my goal is to get that started! 

So tell me - what are your goals or resolutions this year? And what experinces do you have with new years resolutions? Tell me and maybe I'll ad another one to my list :)

All the love, Panda.
