1. Live in the present more and worry less.
I think I have managed to improve a lot in this area of my life. I still worry and get paranoid and everything but I think I have gotten better at letting myself think whatever will be will be and just getting on with life in the now.
2. Be more creative.
This I haven't been very good at. I really have not become more creative this year. I have begun to think about it more though through my study of creative education and I think this goal can stay with me over the next year.
3. Read as much as I can.
I have well and truly failed at this. I still find it so hard to sit down and read, even though when I do I really enjoy it. This is something that I want to continue to work on this year as well.
4. Try to stop the negative thoughts.
I think I have become better at controlling and counteracting these negative thoughts. I still have them but I'm making progress.
5. Be kind to people.
I really haven't done this consciously. I tend to smile at people in the street and perform little acts of kindness like that but its not central to my being. I don't know whether that's good or bad.
6. Take responsibility for my feelings.
I believe I have managed to do this more this year. I am more aware of not being reliant on others for happiness, however, I think I do need people who love me in order for me to be happier so I think that this year I need to be more open and honest about my feelings
7. Voice my opinions more.
For most of the year I think I have succeeded in this and I'm proud of myself for it
8. Work hard.
I'm still a hard worker and I'm happy with it.
9. Learn to appreciate the rest time I have.
I feel like I got better at this but then got too used to having a lot of time so this is still something I need to work on
10. Use music properly.
I honestly don't feel that this resolution was needed. I wanted to use music as a guide but I have realised that I don't need it as a guide. I have people who I admire to guide me and that's all I want.
Looking back on this I think I have actually made a lot of progress this year. I'm feeling more optimistic about what I've achieved now. The start of the new year was not necessarily a good start, I sat in my living room feeling numb and upset about nothing and everything. The last section of 2013 was harder for me than I ever thought it would be and I know I will face some of the same challenges in the next year. Unlike last year, I do not know what this coming year will have in store. 2013 was very much a year of big milestones and movements that were very much set in stone, I knew they were coming and I knew that it would be a year of change. This year I don't know as much. I know I will continue with university and hope things there get better, I have a few events that are going to be happening but not much really. Honestly, I'm so looking forward to letting this year surprise me.
