happy new year

Happy New Year!

With a new year there comes a sudden need to want to do better things than what occurred the year before or if not then continue the wonderful things that has been experienced this new year in a higher level. Nevertheless, there is always a want to improve on certain things every new year. New goals, new levels, new people and new accomplishments can seem normal for some to want but I personally think it takes a skill to know how to set these goals and to actually achieve the goal(s). For example, among other goals one of them is that I would love to lose more weight before summer but how am I going to do that? What are the things I need in order to lose weight? How will I discipline myself to lose weight? And why do I want to lose weight? 

I think it is very important to know why we are doing certain actions and the influence it will have on ourselves more importantly and the environment we are in. Without knowing why we are doing certain things and why we make certain decisions there isn't really much significance in those actions, goals, paths and choices. 

I've got a few new year resolutions but overall it is really just to enjoy myself this year. I always make sure this the main goal because personally I have the tendency to let disappointments affect me in a big way. I have tried really hard in 2013 to not let that happen, to not focus on negativity and let the better things shine through by being aware that it is not the end of the world even though life is very short. Which is another reason why I have been able to believe that dwelling in negativity too much can seriously leave you miserable and depressed for as long as you allow it to and I am definitely someone who can say that is for sure. So, I wish to continue my process of not dwelling in negativity and 2014 will be even better for me and the goals, paths and actions I make will have more positive influence in it and I know I can gain more success in them. 

I really do hope everyone will have a better year than they did last year and will experience great things whether that is in relationships, friendships, family, work, education, money, hobbies and other things I may have missed in life. 

If you do have resolutions, please feel free to leave them in the comments below and I hope you will accomplish them when you intend them to be accomplished or even before that if it is more beneficial. 

Anyways, Happy New Years everyone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ET HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Merry Christmas everyone! 

And for those that do not celebrate Christmas, I hope you are having a great holiday season so far! 

This will be my blog 2nd Christmas (I don't know whether that is significant or not, but hey its a factual point haha) and at first I wasn't too enthusiastic about the event, getting presents or even being with family but at the same time I wasn't an ultimate Scrooge. I'm not sure why I wasn't feeling it but seeing my younger brother and sister so happy and overjoyed (even with our families lack of festivities, like literally we just had music, played wii and watched TV. Not even a Christmas movie!) at Christmas Eve made me realise that I had to make an effort and atleast appreciate the family I had and the fact that I was surrounded by them. I truly forgot the importance and joy of Christmas, sadly. Perhaps I was a tad of a Scrooge this past week :( 

Thankfully I am over this negative energy and actually enjoying myself more. I think the presence of my uncle and his Brazilian female friend made it more fun. 

I hope everyone is having a great time with or without family and if you can't escape the Scrooge-ness, do something that excites you even if it has nothing to do with Christmas. We are nearly approaching the new year and I guess everyone is trying to figure out what they want next year, what they want to change and what they wish they did this year. I say, if you have the chance to still accomplish it in these last few days; DO IT! 

Overall, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to my readers and the newcomers that randomly came here ;)

Love Asta Linda
