2018 New Year’s Resolutions
For some reason why, I dread writing my New Years resolutions for 2018. It’s probably because so much have changed in 2017 that I am dreading the idea of bigger responsibilities and goals I would have to achieve in 2018. I believe that with the amount of pressure the society has laid down on our shoulders is allowing us to swim in anxiety, depression and the constant need to do good. Hence, it is so common for people to go through depression, anxiety and constant meltdowns from time to time.
I, in 2017, had a lot of dark moments. Moments that I vaguely remember. I caught myself swimming in a pool of demotivation, slacking and pure procrastination. I caught myself panicking when it comes close to the deadlines and breaking down during crucial times. I lost one of my closest family members during the last few weeks of finals and it was my first time experiencing death of a close family member. But on the bright side, I managed to achieve the impossible. I graduated from my honours degree and got my first industry related job. And everyone was there to watch me graduate.
Plus I got my first car!! (With no financial help from my family)
There are a lot of things I would like to achieve in life but I am constantly telling myself to take a step at a time to avoid over pressuring myself.
Hence in 2018, my New Years resolutions are:
1. Exercise and keep fit.
I have been slacking for over 2 years already and I could feel my stamina deteriorating every single time I needed to pace up or hike. Hence I would really love to have my stamina back and stay lean.
2. Master the art of keep everything organised.
If you know me, my apartment is always in a constant mess. Well not only my apartment but my documentation, my schedule and definitely my wardrobe. I’m not a dirty kind of person but I tend to put things all around that I always never remember where I last left them. I’m constantly looking for my keys or my wallet and phone. So it would nice to actually know where things are from now on.
Not to lie, I’ve been buying quite a handful of make up recently and the addiction is getting quite overboard. :’-) with working less last year and also buying a car, my bank accounts are literally down to a single digit. Which is absolutely depressing whenever I log into my mobile banking app. By working full time this year, I hope I can really finance myself well and save up at least 70% of where I used to be. Not to mention, I got to pay my own petrol, toll charges and also car servicing expenses 😭
4. Maintain a few hobbies.
Apart from exercising, I would also to maintain some interesting lifestyle that I used to have. Obviously, go back to improving my embroidery skills and actually use the materials I’ve bought a while ago and also read at least 4 books a month. I’m always digging young adult fiction books because they are way easier to read but I’m also trying to go into spiritual books and self enriching books too! Not to forget Mandarin novels too.
5. Work on my bad habits.
I am the queen of bad habits which includes only eating one meal a day, not exercising, sleeping late, extremely impatient, complaining too much, very lazy and a shopaholic. And well of course I say this every single year that I would work on it but I never get around to do so. Hence in 2018, i need to get rid of some. Or at least try. (haha)
On the side note, I’ve been thinking about Vlogging for some time now but I’m still putting a lot of thoughts into it because I’m not sure if I’m confident enough to start my own channel. Well I used to vlog but that was during embarrassing Krystle days. Plus, I don’t really have the right equipment to start off so I might just put that secret desire on hold first. :-P
Alright that’s enough of me for 2018. See you on NYE of 2019, tumblr!
