Every year, my resolutions are all too familiar. This year, instead of writing the same old list and feeling like a failure, I decided to write out 10 resolutions I should be making… but probably won’t.
1. Stop using filters when I post pictures of myself. Celebrate my natural, God-given beauty.
2. Stop stalking people on Facebook, then secretly ranting about all the drama they cause themselves.
3. Finally write that semi-autobiographical sitcom about a wacky family that I’ve been compiling in my head for years.
4. Or at least stop muttering, “That’s going in my sitcom,” every time someone in my family does something crazy.
5. Stop looking at pictures of myself when I was 22 and sighing over my size two self. Those days are gone, my friend.
6. Stop googling “Celebrities without makeup” to make myself feel better.
7. Stop ordering big, thick history books because I think I enjoy history. Liking Little House on the Prairie does not mean I’m up for reading a thousand page tome on The Ancients. I like Chick-lit. Deal with it.
8. Stop making 32 cash envelopes designated for “discretionary spending” in very specific categories and then spending them all on groceries, so I end up with 32 hopeful, empty envelopes each month. Really.
9. Stop buying greek yogurt. I am never going to grow to like the taste, no matter how many times I read that some healthy person eats it for breakfast every day.
10. Stop scrolling through Pinterest, collecting ideas for the perfect, healthy, fashionable, crafty housewife I think exists somewhere inside me. She. Doesn’t. Exist.
What resolution should you make, but won’t?
I really like number one. Something for me to think about.
I use them a lot.
