My boyfriend and I drove with our dogs to Sacramento for Christmas and came back on the 28th. Ever since our return, we have completely neglected our condo and now look as if we live in an episode of Hoarders (it really didn't help that we were both sick Christmas through New Years). There are boxes everywhere, our counters are filled with junk, dishes are piled up in the sink... Soon, we'll probably find a flattened dead cat somewhere under the mess (sorry, had to slip in a Hoarders reference).
What does that have to do with my resolutions? Well, I haven't done much of anything, including drinking much (if any) water at all these past few days of January. That is probably the simplest resolution, but I just get busy... Okay, really I've just been laying around in my living room binging on Netflix and finishing a puzzle. After not showering for a couple days in a row, I waited until 6pm one night because I had a party to attend at 6:30. I've pretty much spent every day of winter break in my pajamas and I like it that way. I've barely mustered up the gumption to take the dogs out every day! I certainly haven't started any type of running regimin to help myself get started towards that marathon-type thing resolution.
Why am I showcasing my laziness? Partially because I think it's sadly a little bit funny and because I'm hoping that by writing about it and shaming myself online, I might change my ways. They say that by the time you're 25, your brain has finished developing and you're pretty much never going to change. They also say that by 25, your body starts having more complications with fertility and child birthing, but um, while that kinda freaks me out, I'm not really paying attention to those statistics right now.
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
I'm adding on another resolution for 2014 that I think may help with some of my motivational issues. Something along the lines of, "take care of myself daily." Basically, under the rules of this resolution, I would need to shower every morning, put on makeup, and put some kind of effort into the way I look. Yes, this may be extremely tedious for me (considering most days I see myself in the mirror and kinda just shrug my shoulders- bedhead and all), but I think that if I think I look good, it might lead to me wanting to feel good and follow through with other personal goals. This is based on the principal of dressing for success; I'm sure you've all heard of/experienced it.
