Word of the Month!: Focus

January 5, 2016

hey guys!

I was inspired by Navy Striped Peonies to do a word of the month for every month starting in January! So for January I picked….

focus

i picked focus because up coming this month I have my finals, and I would like to focus on the positive stuff in my life instead of the negative parts of my life.

how will i try to be more focused this month?

i can become more focused by watching less netflix, using less social media and planning my time better.

hope you all enjoyed this little post where I shared this month’s word that I will focus on and will try to become better at!

please comment/like if you enjoyed this post and feel free to comment asking further questions about my word of the month!

xoxo

My New Year’s Resolutions

January 1, 2016

hey guys!

happy new year! I can’t believe its already 2016 (my mind is blown!!) and soon I will be turning 16, I will get my license and my sister will graduate!

and do you guys like this photo of me? photo credit to that guy at cars land at disney california adventure!

so today I wanna share my new years resolutions for 2016! I am gonna talk about what they are, and how I will try to do them. Since I will have blogged them it might be way easier or I may be forced to make them stick! here we go!

  1. Stop Procrastinating :
    1. I am going to use my planner to plan my schedule and make sure I check my school’s website more often (for homework needs).
  2. Improve My Concentration:
    1. By using apps like FocusNow on my IPhone or Self Control on my computer I will learn to concentrate better so I pay better attention to more important things.
  3. Reduce My Stress:
    1. I will try to schedule better, and by doing that, I will get things done in less time, and not be so stressed out when I don’t have enough time.
  4. WATCH LESS NETFLIX:
    1. I will block netflix on my computer during time when I am busy, and I will plan on working more to watch less, and not binge watch so hard.
  5. Volunteer More
    1. This may seem totally selfish, but I feel happier when I do stuff for others, so i have fun when I volunteer, so this year I plan on volunteering more.

hope you enjoy this little article about my new year’s resolutions and that you guys are excited for this upcoming year 2016! I am excited for what this year has to bring for everyone!

comment your new year resolutions and like if you enjoy any of my resolutions!

xoxo
