Hi everyone!
Happy 2017!💕💕💕
I haven’t really done a lifestyle or update post in so long
that I was actually weirded out on how to start this one. Normally, I like to
enter into the new year like old people. Like be asleep at 00:10. My mom always
wants me to be home but it’s really something I like doing alone. This year I
tried to stay awake but I was completely gone just before midnight but woke up in time for
fireworks and then it was bathroom and then gone again.
Last year I started off the year with some blog goals. Which
were good and valid but would have only worked if I had a trust fund.
Everything costs money and living in a semi remote area really doesn’t help
because access to the internet is ridiculously expensive which affects
consistency and basically your appetite to keep your online world going. Let’s
not even get into uploading! I don’t even want to know how much that would be
per year compared to a person who has access to free internet!
As indicated above, your goals can be withheld by factors
that you didn’t really take into account when making those goals. I feel like
2016 was the year of anxiety and depression for me. I can’t even explain it.
It’s like when your life ‘juice’ is gone and nothing really matters. I resigned
so many times from my job but my manager would not allow me. I was registered
to do a course (that I was paying for) that’s in line with my job but as you can
imagine – if you hate the practical side (my job) then you’ll hate the
theoretical side also.
Here’s how to get back on track:
Ø
Only do something you want to do.
This year I
registered to do Communications Sciences part time. I’m so excited because just
looking at the modules, it’s stuff that I’m really interested in. Scary part is
that I don’t know I’ll turn it into a career but I figured that I will figure
it out when I have the necessary knowledge.
Ø
Be prepared to deal with the consequences.
If
you decide to move out your parents' house to be independent then you must be
prepared to deal with less disposal money or not having things that you were
used to. It comes with the one step forward. So in studying something that’s
not in my field I could get fired/suspended/be in a lot of trouble. It’s not
the best possible outcome but it’s not something that your mind should not receive
in shock.
Ø
Take some time off before you implement new
year’s resolutions.
It’s fun to make them but in February – the gyms are empty.
By the time the year starts I’m like on back-to-school mode. I have books, new
socks, new hair,etc. But this year I’m getting ready late and on purpose. It
was not nice having a bad hair day on the first day but it created the right
environment to make a good decision on which hair style I wanted. You only
really know what you want when you don’t have it.
Ø
Laugh before you cry.
This is weird mostly
because I used to not understand people who laugh when facing a crisis. I still
don’t get it but I just find myself not believing something by first laughing
about it and then crying afterwards when it really sinks in. I don’t know why
but it’s much better than helpless crying which used to be sooo destructive.
Ø
Always stay clean.
This one might also be hot
wired to me but whenever my room is messy – it’s an overwhelming picture of how
I feel. I’m not messy in general so it’s not something that always happens. So
in order to move forward from whatever crisis, my first goal would be to clean
my room (or my surrounding) which in turn helps me start planning on how to fix
the relevant crisis at hand. It’s like removing the spider web from my eyes so
that I can make informed decisions!
Some of these hacks are from my
weirdoville but I hope you understand them enough to apply them in some of your
New Year struggles.
Love,
