HAPPY NEW YEARS! New year, new slate. A fresh new notebook waiting to be filled with stories, hopes and dreams. My new year's eve party was another great hit! The night started out with a little session of pictures that took up almost an hour and a half. During this process I was a little moody...more like a lot but as soon as they started playing Olivia Rodrigo I was out there dancing and singing my heart out. Then when my grandmas old clock striked twelve my family and I cheered and went around hugging each other! Once we were done we had a huge meal filled with pasta, chicken, a variety of salads, and the end of the meal dancing. Oh and we can't forget the fact that I made sure to get under the table and make my 12 wishes.
To make this blog post easier for you guys to navigate through it will be cut into different sections, each talking about a different idea or topic for my new year plans! Enjoy!
Let's Look Back:
2023 was an interesting year. Various things happened, some for the best, others for me to learn from. I think this year started out really good. I had a good mindset and I felt good about myself. I was also okay with being by myself and being with my own company. But then towards the end of 2023 I think I lost myself a little. How? That’s a whole different story that I’d rather not talk about right now. I think this because I stopped taking care of myself. Yet, I also did have a lot of good character development, especially with all of my goals. This year was just a mix of everything. Losing myself, yet gaining motivation for what I love. Overall, I am ready to let go of 2023 and see what holds for me in 2024!
What I want to focus on:
It's a new year which means I get to recreate myself and build myself into someone better. The main thing I want to do is focus more on myself. I know everyone says this. But it is important to take a moment and focus more on yourself rather than get caught up in other people's lives, forgetting to actually live your own. But how do I focus on myself? I'm almost thinking of pulling a Taylor Swift Call it what you want move. But here are other ideas I have.
Building a growth mindset. A growth mindset is basically where I take hardships in life and turn them into lessons and opportunities to grow.
Become my own best friend. If i'm going to focus on myself I need to be own motivator. Hype myself up everyday. Understand my own feelings. And most of all take care of myself.
Become less afraid. I think something that I could work on for myself is to become less afraid. Less afraid of letting people know who I am. Less afraid of showing people what I can do. Less afraid of putting myself first before anyone or anything else.
3.8-4.0. I am in high school now and I want what is best for me especially when it comes to grades and my gpa. My first semester I ended with a solid 3.9 gpa, which I honestly think is really good! I want to keep trying my best in school. Which means working on assignments as soon as I get them, studying for each test, etc!
Self-Care, Self-Love. Focusing on myself means learning to love myself. So, I want to do extra things for myself that will make me feel better. Like working out more often. Pampering myself by painting my nails more often, taking care of my hair, and maintaining a good skin care routine.
Try something new everyday. Yes, you heard me right...everyday. I think if I am going to be focusing on myself I should allow myself to have fun and try new things each day of the year. New hairstyles. New music. New outfits. New routines. New hobbies. There are endless new things that I can try during the year!
Keep reaching my goals. The last and most important thing that can help me focus on myself is to keep reaching for my goals. I've set my sights on what I want to achieve this year, and now, I'm dedicated to concentrating my efforts and staying on course to reach them!
Here's a little sneak peak to my resolutions of the year! For some of you that don't know how to read Spanish it will be a little hard for you to understand but that's fine!
I love you all so much! I hope you all have the bestest year yet!
Bye Bye
XoXo, Maria E.V
