I know we are way past the New Year Resolutions Part. But still, I have decided to write this post - more for my benefit as I have a tendency of forgetting or conveniently forgetting my resolutions and hence do not have a reference towards the end of the year to find out if I have actually followed up on any of my resolutions.
Here is my list :
1. I will love myself and will always listen to my intuitions and instincts.
This one is on the top of my list because sometimes I am low on self-esteem. And of all these years in life, this one is very important given the hardships I am going through now. And the second part is meant to block my tendency to seek anyone's advice for even unwanted matters. Not only do I open my mind to a person who has the remotest possibility of turning into a friend, I often tend to base my actions based on the advices I get (some of which are given with a selfish motive).
2. I will try to loose around 10-15kg in this year by exercise and control on food ( I don't like the word 'Diet')
Even though I have been steadily gaining weight in the past 2-3 years, last year was the most devastating one as I gained 10 kg in around 6 months and have not been able to shed even a bit of it. So, now I am obese, looking ugly , can't fit into half of my wardrobe, have gastric problems, and sometimes can't even walk long distances. This is like super-necessary.
3. I will begin and complete a story that has long been on my mind.
I have been an avid reader for almost the last 16 years. And an occasional writer (only in competitions). Now I have a story to tell the world. Even though I am not sure if I would get it published any day, I would definitely like to see it in a notebook.
4. I will gift myself at least 3 books this year.
Over the last 2 years, I did buy some books. But unfortunately for me, those are no longer with me. According to me, being a bibliophile is not only about reading as many books as possible, but also on acquiring a few of them. And if I am to follow any of the indications until now, most of my friends have no idea of buying me a book. So, I do it myself.
I have set only 4 of these because, I want my resolutions to be achievable. And let's hope I do. Have a great year everyone.
