It is mid-February and you are either still going strong with your New Year’s resolution, or they ended the second week of January. Either way, it is never too late to add one more to your list.
This year I decided to write in the “notes section” of my phone a few things I really wanted to stick to, and some goals I wanted to have for myself; nothing major, just simple things that would make me happier and healthier.
The first one on my list was to floss more. That didn’t last for more than a week. However, one goal I was able to stick with was positivity, something I constantly seemed to be struggling with in 2017.
Everyone knows staying positive in the midst of stress and college life can seem like an impossible feat. Since adding it to my list, I have really made an extra effort to be more positive and happier overall.
Being positive, does not necessarily mean ignoring the bad things that happen, but instead trying to find something good within the bad. Also, a major component of being positive is surrounding yourself with people who do the same, or at least try to do the same.
It is really easy to get down on yourself and to let yourself get overwhelmed with everything not only happening in your own life, but in the world as well.
Finding happiness in the little things in life has really made me a happier person, and a person I like being. Not only do you feel like a better person, but you attract people who are also trying to better themselves. It is a good habit to get into, and you will notice how much your mood will change.
Positivity is not an impossible task to achieve and since adding it to my list of resolutions, I have been way happier this semester than I ever thought I would be. Positivity in 2018 is the move, and if you aren’t on the bandwagon, you really need to join.
