They also help weed out the negative people that you may be following~
First lets look at last years resolutions
My Resolution list from last year
The First thing on the list is Achieve splits. That did not happen xD I was really sick this year and didn't get to workout/do as much yoga as I would like to. But that's okay~ I did get close with Blogilates little splits challenge so maybe i'll try that again some time.
Next is "Read more, Watch less" tbh, I've never been a big TV person. I feel like I just put that on my list to look like a ~cool instagram girl~ But I did have a problem with not being able to sleep without a TV on, which I now can do. I have a huge fear of the dark, and I still do to an extent, but its not as bad as it was! I have had a huge problem with concentrating so I didn't read many read books this year. I did read approx 1000 fanfictions though so....close enough.
Now onto my biggest accomplishment: Starting a new project! When I made this I was really thinking about having a blog and starting a Youtube channel. I've had multiple blogs throughout the years but I haven't really stuck with one since I was a kid. This is mostly because i'm a really bad writer and don't leave my house much, so I don't have much to say. If any of you follow me on insta, especially if you have been following since the beginning you can tell my writing has gotten so much better. Its obviously not what I would consider "good writing" but its a lot better then it was. I haven't spoken to my doctors yet so i'm not sure if its changed anything at a deeper level, but it has made a significant enough change that I actually noticed it. And I don't have the best self esteem so I rarely notice improvement in myself/others so the fact that even I have noticed this improvement says a lot to me!
Next is my youtube channels. I've love youtube since the beginning and have been toying with starting a chennel for year, but like I said before i'm quite boring and have low self esteem so I wasn't sure what to do. I don't mind if people know what I look like, but I didn't want my face in videos. Then I discovered ASMR. At the beginning of the year I was not sleeping. From December 2014~Feb 2015 I would fall asleep around 3am everyday. I suffer from cystic acne so this was not good for me. I would have ~ 8 on my face at all time and I just looked really sick. Once I found ASMR everything reset and I have been getting to sleep at a great time ever since. While watching it I noticed a lot of the people just showed from the neck down- so it was perfect for me! I may not be able to be the most active on it, but I do see myself posting/growing this channel for years to come.
Then there was my MSP channel. Again, i'm shy so I don't talk much in my videos, but its been fun having something to make and put out there every week. In the upcoming year I hope to improve both these channels.
Lastly "Be more social" this one was okay. I have really horrible anxiety, to the point where I can barely even read text messages from my Parents/Friends. Although I haven't gotten over that much this year, I have been talking to people more on social media. I try to check all my comments and reply to them where I can. So I consider this one a success...even if its a small one :]
Now lets think of some new ones,
Personally, I try to keep things simple. I get over whelmed very easily so if I made a list of 100 things I would just give up and get nothing done. So what I really like to do is make big broad resolution and then make smaller ones that that will help me achieve said resolution.
Number one: I want to improve my Youtube Channels. I don't have any subscriber goals, those may come later this year, but I just want to improve the quality. For my ASMR channel I really want to purchase a microphone- I know buying things probably isn't a good resolution...but its what I need to improve the channel so i'm putting it down :D
For my MSP channel I want to branch out into more games. I am currently working on a re-branding for it, I just need to good name! I will stick to my MSP roots, but it was created to be a variety channel so I would love to add some variety back into it xD When I first made it I posted my ASMR videos on it but since making a separate ASMR channel I have only posted MSP things.
If I get the nerve to do it maybe i'll ask my friend to start a channel with me. We both love to mess around on the internet and have talked about starting a project together before...so maybe this will be the year I actually do it! I have already proven to myself that I can gather "fans" to something I have made (even if its just a themed instagram account) so my confidence is slightly higher then it has been in that regard. Now I just need to work up the nerve to ask my friend xD
My second resolution is to shop alone. Or at least have the allusion of shopping alone. I'm not sure if other people have this happen, but if i'm even a foot in front of my friends/family when shopping my vision starts to go white. I feel really overwhelmed and scared. I want to try and lessen this effect. When I go shopping I want to try and walk around a store by myself. At the time of writing I have a phone that won't send messages when i'm not at home. If I have my data on it sometimes does, but its not reliable, so I don't feel comfortable being completely alone- but maybe if I switch to a more reliable service I may try and shop completely alone.
Next I need to make a low impact workout routine. I have a hard time doing "hard" workouts. I get a head ache when I run or do Pilates. I do need to speak with my doctors and maybe go back to the physical therapist for a few sessions to find out what can work for me- but I also want to do some experimenting on my own. I try to do yoga but it too hurts my head, plus I find it super boring. I know my sister got me some exercise things for Christmas so hopefully it will be things that help me out with this goal.
That's really it for now...there are other goals I have for the new year but I don't really feel comfortable sharing them just yet!
Some inspiration:
*When thinking of resolutions try to focus on a specific part of your life. Whats happen at school. How are your grade. Are you content. Think about things you would like to "change" when it comes to this aspect of your life. There are a lot of things that are simply out of your control- so try and find one thing that you do have control over and focus your energy into that, instead of running yourself into the ground trying to fix something that cannot be fixed.
*Even if something has been done a million times. Even if its not "unique" its still unique to you. You have never done it. No one has seen you do it. So if there's a project you want to do, a video you want to make, but its been done before, ignore that! Just make what you want to make. Keep in mind you will not make something that pleases everyone. If you goal is to please everyone or make something for everyone, you are probably better off not posting content to the internet.
*I want to challenge you to do something new this year. It can be something big like running a marathon to something small that trying out a new form of entertainment (like listening to a podcast or watching a new genera of movie you've never seen before) Even these small new things can make a big difference in your life.
