New year; New goals.

I've made a list of New Year's resolutions I'm determined to meet. Every year, i make the same resolution, and it fails. So this year, I'm making a few, and they're all new ones that I've never attempted to make. 2011, is going to be a good year. :)

1. Donate $100 to a charity. I've learned recently that it's important to give back and appreciate what you have. Even though $100 isn't that much, every bit counts; and I've never donated that much before. I'm always looking for ways to help out and be a better person, but one thing I've never been good at is giving away my money. This is going to be a good challenge for me.

2. Grow my hair out; about to the length of my hips. I've been trying to grow my hair for a while now, and I'm ready for long luscious beautiful locks:) I haven't had long hair since i was in 7th grade. I miss it. My goal is to not chop of my hair, no matter how annoying it gets.

3. Learn to like myself; at the least. I feel like this will be the most challenging resolution i ever make. I've never liked who i was; I've never thought i was pretty enough or nice enough. I've always wanted to be better. So I'm making it a goal to do specific things throughout the year that'll make me proud of who I am, and like the person I've become. Some of these things include:

4: Do the 365 day challenge. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a challenge in where you take a photo every single day of the year, in which you're somewhere in it. By the end of the year, you can see how much you've changed, what experiences you went through, and how fast the year really went by. I've attempted it once before, just for fun but got sick of it and didn't want to do it anymore. This year, I'm determined to do it. It'll let me see how much I've changed, and i feel like it'll be a good way to get to know myself better, through every angle possible.

5. Have a nude day once every week. Not saying like, nude as in no clothes. You're not going to see that, trust me. Nude meaning natural. One day a week, I'm not going to wear makeup or do anything to my hair. I'm going to just have natural beauty all day. This is going to be an extremely difficult challenge for me because I am very self concious about how i look without makeup on and such. This will be a good way to build some confidence and love myself for who i am. Plus, it's great for you face and hair to get a break every once in a while.

6. Start getting out more. Getting fresh air is always a good thing. I feel like if i get out more, I'll be able to feel better physically, and mentally. I won't be stuck in a house all day long. I'll exercise more and maybe even lose some weight.

7. Keep my room clean. A clean environment can lead to a better attitude. If i keep up on my room, I think I'll feel better about myself and not be so stressed about trying to do it "another time". Organization is key this year.

8. Finish reading the bible. This one is important. God is everything to me, and I haven't gotten the chance to read the entire bible yet. It's a MUST goal that i do this by the end of the year.
