Okay, so I guess I'm a bit late once again, but I don't think you have to make the resolutions and expectations exactly when the ball drops, so we're all good.
I just kind of wanted to do a few things in today's blog.
First of, reflections.
Think back on 2008. Yeah I know that last night at midnight most people threw away all bad memories and set them aflame. But for me can we recollect the ashes and bring those back?
First, I want you to think about all the good memories you had in 2008. ((That way you have time to find all the ashes of the dead bad memories.))
Think about every laugh, every smile. Think about what made you happy in 2008.
Maybe it was making new friends, or having a boyfriend/girlfriend that you kept until now. ((I'm sure there were others, and we'll get to them in a bit.))
Maybe it was some quality time with family or reconnecting with an old friend.
Whatever it was, just think about those times that you were truly happy.
Now, I want you to look on those ashes of the bad. I know it's tough but think about all the sadness you unfortunately had to experience this past year. Think about the tears and the heartbreak that you may have experienced.
Maybe the anger or disappointment you experienced.
I know this is depressing but really analyze all of that. Some of it is your fault.
I'm not saying every little piece is your fault, but theres bound to be something that you brought on yourself.
Enough with the reflections and all the hurtful memories.
Now we're going to move to expectations.
Yeah I know it's out of the previous order, but think about it this is more logical.
If you keep up your previous state then your bound to have more to burn next New Year's Eve.
Look to the next year. With this same state of mind will you be sad more than happy? Or happy more than sad.
Everyone I believe wants the latter.
Which brings us to the Resolutions.
Think about all that stuff that you can change.
You can change your attitude, and not have as much trouble with your parents or employer. Stay positive. You have to. Don't blow up over the tiniest things.
Now, I'm not saying bottle everything up so you become an emotional rocket that launches at the most inappropriate times, BUT you do need some control.
Make resolutions to do all this.
To realize that everything doesn't need an explosion, that it's not the coming of the apocolaypse if you don't get your way or have to do an extra chore every once in awhile.
Stay calm. Make a resolution for positive changes.
And another thing about resolutions, I hope you made positive and productive New Year's resolutions. Hopefully it wasn't something like "find a new boyfriend/girlfriend" and hopefully it was something substantial and something you'll actually try to stick with!
So I guess, that's all I wanted to say, stick with your positive, productive resolutions and maybe this year will be a happier one.
Welcome 2009!
