A Little bit of this and that.. (update with resolution updates)

So came up with more.. let's continue!!

New Year Resolutions (cont. & updated):

~Get daily exercise! Even though I'm getting a workout at work and with my nephew, I will keep a schedule of different exercise routines to change daily. I don't want to get bored doing the same exercises and I will only build muscle tone around my legs and arms.

~Exercise my brain! I really hope that Lumosity site is free and I'll be able to do this daily too for the new year. If not, I will try to force myself to read books I got around the house. I admit, I hate reading and I have no idea how I like writing short stories though! Odd combination or so there.

 ~Write more, draw more! I want to focus on writing again, as well with getting better with life drawing types of drawings. 

~Be more positive! About myself, about my life, about the paths I take, the paths I get into, basically anything and everything that comes into my life... including people.

~New looks! I'm definitely planning on trying out some makeup, but not many to make me look like a clown. Definitely a new hair cut or style, but still keeping it simple and fast. Maybe some other small changes too. 

~Post/like more positive quotes! Been finding lots of nice quotes with "Liking" several FB pages. When I see one I can relate to, I share it and if I agree to it, I only "Like" it. 

--Two great Facebook pages I have found and always agree to what they post: Neurolove and  Relationship Rules. Interesting facts and "statistics" quotes I find here: PsychoFacts.

~ Be more social! Straight to the point there with that and make more friends.
~Nephew, Auntie time! I will definitely find time to spend with my nephew. He's the only man that will be in my life.

~New wardrobe ahoy! As much as I don't need nor like to waste money on stuff I have, I would like an update on my wardrobe. Showing off my nerdy-tomboy-fandoms all rolled up into one, while saving money on it all!

~Socially awkward! I may be that already, but it seems I need to keep to myself around the work area. Drama tends to be created in the work force at any time and well, I just don't need that anymore.

~Drive baby! I really need to learn to not be afraid behind the wheel and when weather permits in the new year.. it will happen!

~Traveling! As much as I know this might NOT happen, but I can still dream a little. Hopefully I can travel on my own for a mini vacay to a destination of my choice!

~Saving up $$! Get back on my grind for saving my money, even if I have a job. If its with coupons, BOGO deals and/or buy things in the 1$ section of stores.. I'll try my best to save up!

~Eating/drinking healthy! I lost my groove this year.. in not drinking soda or limiting my intake on it. I need to get back into it and learn to love water and learn to eat things I make ugly faces to.. lol!

~Edumacational shows! Even though I've been in this road already this year, I will continue to do so as much and as best as I can. Whether it's with Discovery channel, History channel or so.. I'll get it somehow!

~Past is past! This is hard for me to do, always. Memories, places, items.. etc it just seems to come up somehow. I need to cope and move on with this.. we'll see.

~Posts/statuses! Limit my posts on Facebook mostly.. or at least attempt to do so. Maybe just update what I think is important to me to only the people who care. Somewhere in between. 

 

More to come!

 

I may sound like a hypocrite writing this down or what I said in some or even backfire in some, but its just a reminder for me and hopefully get help along the way. 

 

Cope and moving on 

I really need to work on this department and resolution now. This has come down on me recently and swirling in my mind, not wanting to leave.. making it its permanent home. I hate it, the feelings, thoughts, dreams.. just.. all of it. I need a way to be in between and be happy. Was in that area not too long ago, but.. swirling down is what it seems to be happening.. deep down. A smile hides it from everyone, but.. losing that smile is easy to do behind closed doors. Found nice positive photo posts, but.. they do share what I'm talking and feeling at times. I read them and then think twice and... move on!!

 

 

New Year resolutions!! (an update)

New year, new goals

"You hit a goal, you achieve a goal. You keep a resolution" -
Gretchen Rubin

What really is a New Year Resolution?

-Wiki:  is a commitment that a person makes to one or more personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit. A key element to a New Year's Resolution that sets it apart from other resolutions is that it is made in anticipation of the New Year and new beginnings.

I'm not quite sure what I want to have in my new year resolution list, its mainly just things I want to do in the new year. I haven't quite put them into short words or a list, and so far there isn't many in my list. I'm still willing to try it out and make one, so here it goes!

New Years Resolution:

~Get daily exercise! Even though I'm getting a workout at work, I will keep a schedule of different exercise routines to change daily. I don't want to get bored doing the same exercises and I will only build muscle tone around my legs and arms.

~Exercise my brain! I really hope that Lumosity site is free and I'll be able to do this daily too for the new year. If not, I will try to force myself to read books I got around the house.

A few interesting, but really nice links to become more positive with your life that I have found! Oddly, I have done some of their tips already and they do seem to work quite well!

7 Simple ways to improve your self-esteem 

Tips for coping with an awful day  

Secrets to Success

Frankly, if you follow or bookmark Neurolove's and Councselling Blog's tumblrs, they have more nice tips of the alike to live a more positive life and ways to reach some of your goals. I will post things like this on my Facebook profile when I come across similar things that I would like to consider in concentrating and think about how to adapt it to my life... even if I got to meditate it in a form. All this type of stuff or topics will be added and considered for the new year. This can be like a sneak peek to the future type of blog posts here!!

Disclaimer:
Oddly, I'm adding a small section like this now to clarify certain things only on this post! I reached a level in my life about this blog and switching on and off about it. I decided to not post much or at all about my personal life anymore and along with that, about the weather. Everyone has a tv, everyone can look up the weather, and anyone who wants to know of what's going on in my life can know it by having me on their Facebook or simply asking me. If you don't, I apologize, but.. certain people need not to know what exactly is going on with me. My 2nd option was just plain and simple.. to not update this blog with posts of this matter or topics, but only about tv/movie/app/etc reviews that interest me [and possibly you too]!! To replace what I am removing from this blog, topics wise, I will fill it with positive links/sites/quotes that I have come across and enjoy! Again, I apologize for this happening [if it even matters to some], but this is my blog, my life and I decide what I can and cannot say in it all. So, this is a future disclaimer for the coming new year. Only positive things will be seen here that I enjoy and come across to share with everyone and anyone who sees this blog. These just might help you out too in your life and all and this action, is part of my new year resolutions list!! I know I may sound like a hypocrite by this point, in what I just posted above and what I said in this paragraph, but at least they're all something.. positive!!

New Year Resolutions..

Weather

Why do I start off with this topic? Meh, guess cause some people are interested and others aren't. Well, still "good" news....no snow yet, horray!! It has been forecasted that there will be snow showers on Sunday or Monday, forget which, but I know again it won't last long...especially if its [snow] showers. Anyways, the last day of the year seems it will be good day, weather wise.

New Year Resolutions

Who really does these? Actually, who keeps them literally? Anyone can make them, but do they actually get accomplished....I doubt it. Hrm, with the new year being around the corner literally, I've been thinking this past week on this subject. I did accomplish some of them this year, oddly, but I am glad I did. So this is some of the resolutions I'll be making and hopefully "completing" with no complications:

1. Make at least 3-5 trips to visit my boyfriend, that's including Christmas through New Years. Unless something changes.

2. Keep up the resolutions I did this year: No soda [or once a week], but more water, (I hate water, plain!) and keep up with taking my multivitamin.

3. Hang out with friends....somehow. I lack in this since: sooo many friends of mine just stopped communicating with me, live too far from me, broke promises [in resulting lack of communication as well], and just some don't keep in contact much. 

4. Take care of myself better than before. I guess working out is an option there, but...it's more fun to do this part with friends and well, at the same time on my own. I need to build muscle, nothing more...and definitely nothing less. 

5. If #1 doesn't happen, I damn wish it's cause I'm moving out again and moving in with my boyfriend in our own place. I totally see this happening this new year! (Course something else gotta happen too first in my mind)

6. As rushed as this sounds, with totally no intentions of it being rushed, I hope I do get....*drum roll* get engaged. I'm getting old and yeeeeah, *shrugs* I feel left out at times somehow with this, but I'm a patient person as well.

7. Have no grudges with people. As ironically as this is, I do have some still at this very moment. If you suspect you are these people or think/know you are one, then...speak now and maybe I just might say why, in the nicest way possible. I've been speaking my mind literally lately....and at times, its not nice..sorry.

8. Take full opportunity of unemployment can offer me. No this does not mean their money, but their class training services for a career. I'm just not sure what to go with or what they offer, yet.

9. Completely focus with either painting or write short stories! And possibly one of my business ideas!

10. Make more friends in one way or another and totally keep in touch with them and if possible hang out with them! I'm determined to be a social outgoing person....again!

Tv shows:

"Xena"

Oddly enough I decided to watch this show through Netflix. As I started watching this show, I remember how good it was and exactly which tv station it was broadcasted on, WGN aka CW. I'm still in the first season, but it's really interesting show. I know some of the stories and some I just don't and make me want to look some of them up...about Gods and the alike. Once I'm done with this show, I will definitely go see next with "Hercules: Legendary Journeys". They already did a cross-over in the first season in Xena, so I'm wondering if they do it again or not and when they do it in Hercules. I really need to read more into these times and their "Gods" they believed in. I totally recommend seeing this show if you haven't at all!!
