2019 has been really good to me. I've have had so many cool opportunities that have shaped me into the person that I am today. 2020 has been a year that has stood out to me since 2016, its the year I graduate college. And ever since then I feel like the word "future" comes out of my mouth every other conversation. The world beyond May 15th 2020 is still very unknown to me and throughout my entire undergrad I have been doing things because I think they'll be good for my "future" or I wont committee to things because I'm not sure how it will effect my "future". And I'm simply sick of thinking this way. I have been working really hard my entire college career and I know that I'm going to be okay. Im going to find a job and I'm going to be successful because life has a plan for me. I worry so much about if I'm doing/did the right thing and I simply cant change what has been done. So thats why my New Years resolution is to Be Present. The future is not guaranteed, so now instead of working hard to make my future is better, I'm working hard to make sure to live in the present. Heres how I plan to change my mindset.
Celebrate the little things
While I have worked hard in school and life to help my "future", when I accomplish something I don't celebrate it enough. I am too busy thinking about how it will effect maybe my grade or how good it will look on my resume before I can realize "hey thats pretty cool that I did that, good job"
Stop dwelling on the past
I find myself thinking a lot about "well what if I did this" or "they used to say this" and I forget that with time, things change and thats okay. I cant change what has happened and I cant change things to how they used to be. The only thing I can do is look at what I have now, and keep moving forward. "What is coming, is better than what is gone"
Plan trips
I have prevented myself from traveling so much because I don't know where I'm going to be in 6 months or how much homework I might have that weekend. So thats why this semester I plan to visit more of my friends at their schools for small weekend trips. Im sure cramming all week to get my homework done to go spend time with a long distance BFF will be worth more than doing all my homework on Saturday and lounging and being bored on Sunday.
Put the phone down
I will be the first to admit I'm addicted to social media. When I'm with friends or family I find myself checking my phone constantly. This year I plan to limit myself by turning off my notifications when I'm with others. Twitter will still be there at the end of the day. But the memories being made are worth way more than to see what's going on online.
