5 *Realistic and Reachable* New Year's Resolution for 2015

It's already January 8. Good thing "make new year's resolution on time" is not on my new year's resolution.

New Year's resolutions are actually quite tricky. Year by year you are able to think of things you want to change in your life, and yet you still find yourself doing the same things all over again. If you are one of those people that can't seem to live by with the resolutions you make, chances are you're not trying anymore nowadays. Hey I can't blame you. Last time I wrote was still way back 2011 and even then the resolutions I made didn't make sense. So before 2014 ended, I thought to myself "Why do people keep making glorified resolutions when half of it they can't barely keep up?" "Why can't they just DO something that they THINK they can do?!" I still feel that its good to make new year's resolution, so after some meditating, here are the most realistic and reachable resolutions you can have for 2015:

Everyone in the world is messed-up in their own way. A change is something that we all need. Yeah, no excuses buddy.

1. Eating just the "enough" amount of food for you

Okay, I think you can agree on me on this one -- "FOOD IS LOVE". It's something that we can't easily avoid. If there is food that we want to eat, hey #YOLO, go ahead and eat whatever you want. But unless you have the metabolism of Superman, you're probably one those folks who have a big bun in front of you. Look, to say that you should diet is actually a 2nd Tier-level of commitment. So, if you're just a regular joe who's not yet ready to beast up, then just eat what is enough. Some people start off by limiting their rice (or any carbs you are really into). Drink more water as well to help you get full easily and stick more with fruits. If you feel that you're full, that's it. The important thing here is that you don't go beyond on what you're suppose to intake in a day. You're doing your body a huge favor and probably by due time you can go and fulfill the diet you usually tell yourself that you can accomplish (oh you big fat liar you).

2. Do physical activities regularly

Sex. Yeah there I said it. Do as much sex as you like (unless you are still studying or below the right age then no, stop reading this blog and go read a book or something). Okay, to explain this R-18 resolution, its not more of the sex, its about doing physical activities (and I think you can agree that it is -- unless you're still a virgin then I suggest you watch a video or something). To eat properly is right, but it is important for our body to sweat from time to time. Play sports, go exercise, lift weights, do some gardening, clean your house, be late from time to time so that you'll have the need to run to work, just do make sure that you can do physical activities to trim down the big bun in front of you. Every one knows that an exercise here and there is good for the body. It's either you work your ass off or you die young. And no, to sweat under the sun isn't counted, so go out there MOVE!!! 

3. Save a specific amount of money

When you usually say "I'm going to save up money for next year.", it only gives you a reason to make excuses such us "I don't really know how much I'll save so I'll just spend money for the mean time." The idea here is "to have a goal". If you aren't that particular with your expenses, then it's time to have a certain purpose. Now, it can mean a lot of things. You might want to save up for the future or you might want to save up for a particular event or gadget. Whatever it is, always have a certain goal so that you'll have a certain amount of money to save up. It could be the hundreds, thousands or millions but whatever you may be earning now, work around on your budget and achieve that goal. It gives you a better perspective then just to say "I'll save up money". I can say I'll save a cat from the tree, but I can always say I'll do it tomorrow right? DO IT TODAY! Save 10,000 cats!!!

4. Learn or develop something new

Humans are pieces of meat that has infinite capabilities of doing extraordinary things. Since little children we have been taught a lot of things up until we grew up to being adults. But most of us stop learning from there. Most teachers limit themselves to teacher things, nurses to nursing things, carpenters to carpenter things, porn stars to... porn things. You get the point. We can't just limit ourselves in a particular type, we need to grow, develop new things. If you're a police, hey, try to learn potting and who knows, you can now make pots that you can use for target practice. If you're a doctor and you want to dance gracefully then go ahead, learn ballet and tip toe yourself around the busy hallways of the hospital. Again, develop something within you. Learn something new. Go to Youtube or read whatever, just don't be you forever. Be a much better and talented you!

5. Motivate yourself to be a better you

At this point, you might have realized that the resolution above are something basic and you can still add up on it. True, you can always make your own set of resolutions for the new year. Like I said earlier, it's easy to make one but it's quite challenging to do. But all of those talk about changing and doing things won't really be possible if you don't push yourself in actually doing it. You need to find it in you to motivate yourself in actually seeking that change in your life because plans can be cancelled and ignored. This is actually the hardest part and something not on most people's resolution list. Mind you, this is not a goal but a mindset. If you can motivate yourself, you can do anything (well not really anything but you can now accomplish your new year's resolution).

A good friend of mind pointed out that you can always deny yourself with the changes that you want, eating right, losing weight, improving yourself, it tends to be easy. But when you surpass the doubts, the mountains that you need to climb, then by the end of this year you can pretty much say that "Wow, resolutions actually work!" Yeah it does. We just live with procrastinating lazy people. Which in a way is okay since the world has always been like that. But we only have one life, and at some point we are just going to be dirt. Might as well be an amazing dirt right? So there, those are the realistic and reachable new year's resolution that you can set for 2015. It guarantees result because c'mon, its as basic as it gets. Whatever happens to you by the end of this year, just promise yourself that you are going to try, and who knows, you MIGHT just become a somebody. Happy New Year you future dirt you!

We can always start fresh anytime. But hey, January is usually the best time I guess.
