2014

Today marks the start of a new year!
Actually it's yesterday since it's past 12 now...
Amanda suggested to do new year resolutions!
I havent been the most reflective person so it's good to actually
sit down and think out my resolutions.

1. Love God and His Word more.
I really need to find back the joy of knowing Him through His Word.

2. Be punctual.
I keep believing that I can reach on the dot, sometimes I do, sometimes
I fail terribly. This needs to be changed >:

3. Be more patient.
Esp towards my family. I dont think being stressed or tired
gives me a reason to be annoyed at anybody.
THIS CERTAINLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AS WELL.

4. Be neat and tidy.
Organize my notes into files etc

5. Workout.
The need to start exercising is bugging me hahah.

6. Be more outgoing.
Im more of an introvert but I really love making friends
so it's a little contradictory.
So I always don't initiate a "hi" when someone walks past me
or Im simply oblivious when someone else does it and then they gradually stop :(
Maybe I lost a few friends because of this :/ who knows?

7. Be more appreciative
of the things and people around me.

8. Don't be easily emotionally-affected by everything.
Even my mum says so.
Im too easily emotionally affected by events or people around me,
whether is it the things they say or the little things they do.
Its good in a sense that Im sensitive to how people feel and bad in a way
that I will misinterpret how someone is really feeling because I tend to overthink.
Moreover, because im easily emotionally-affected, I tend to use my emotions
and not logic to judge what I should do in most situations.
I have decided that this is not really healthy.
I should learn how to let go and not be affected by other people.

9. To know myself better.
I think I know some people better than myself.
I saw a video once which challenged people to spend 10/20/30 mins or even
an hour with themselves.
After that video, I know I need to do it to know myself, to know what I want,
to know what are my goals and what I truly want.

10. Stop being passive

11. I will not procrastinate
(hopefully)

12. Be more confident and sure of myself.
My identity should be found in Christ, not in how others view me to be.

13. Have my own opinions
I need more clarity in my thought processes :0

14. Keep all the meaningful friendships I have formed !
