Checking in with the New Years' Resolutions.
Thursday, January 19, 2017
I thought, because we are now half way through January, I would check in with you all on where I am in terms of sticking with my New Years' Resolutions (as well as some I may have added).
In terms of connecting to the real world, I feel as though I've already succeeded. In the past, I've hated the ocean (despite all my life never living more than 30 minutes away from a beach), hated sand and aside from climbing mountains, not been a huge fan of the outdoors. Well, this week alone I've been to the beach every single day and made an effort to sit in the sand and enjoy to sounds of the waves crashing in front of me.
As for deciding where I want to take my blog, and any additional side projects, I've been too busy focused on my mental health, the world around me and friends... But I promise that once I start back at university (March), it'll resume being at the forefront of my mind.
Somehow, I have successfully gone the month of January (so far) without wearing makeup! I admit, there has been one day where I wore BB Cream because I was heading to the beach in the middle of the day and didn't want my face to burn (and I hate putting sunscreen on my face), but aside from that I'm super proud of myself. It's an incredibly eye-opening experience (which I never thought I'd be saying) and there'll be a post going up at the end of this month all about my experience.
Aside from that, my church have been doing a series called ReSOULution that I've been following along with so far this month and it is another experience that I can say is very eye-opening. If you had asked me this time last year if I would even consider going to church, I probably would have chuckled and awkwardly changed the subject. But almost a year of regularly going to church I am overly pleased for being introduced to my church community. The people I have met are some of the most loving, down to Earth and gracious people that I have ever encountered in my entire life -- #blessed.
