New Year, New Me

 Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, 

this post should take approximately five minutes to read from start to finish.

I know for myself that I have read a lot of posts on social media accounts that some friends has stated "New Year, New Me." How accurate is that saying? How often do you hear people who has said that saying at the beginning of each year? How can we choose to become new to ourselves during the new year?

"New Year. New Me. Same dreams. Fresh starts."

 I would like to share with you some suggestions of what I have considered about ways of how I can choose to become new myself throughout this year.

~ I would like to focus on drinking more water each day, and I will do my best to keep track of my daily water intake. 

~ I would like to focus on eating more healthier food each day. 

~ I would like to focus on making a habit of regular exercising with a friend. ~ I would like to focus on spending less money towards purchasing extra items. 

~ I would like to focus on getting minimum of seven hours of sleep at night. ~ I would like to focus on doing personal scripture study daily. ~ I would like Jacob and I continue to focus on more into listening to General Conference talks.

Why would I like to focus on drinking more water each day? I know that it is healthier to drink water more than it is to drink soda drinks and drinking juices. 

Why would I like to focus on eating more healthier food each day? I know that for the past several months; I have gotten myself into a habit of eating small serving (62 millimeter/2.2 oz to be exact) of ice cream each day and I know that is not healthy. Each day when I consumed ice cream, I have also been eating a fruit each day. 

I hope I would be able to eat ice cream a few times a week instead of everyday of the week.

Why would I like to focus on making a habit of regular exercising with a friend? I know that at times when I go on walks by myself, I feel lonely and sometimes I just do not feel like listening to Spotify during my walks. I think it would be the best for my well-being if I was able to go on walks with a friend.

~ Why would I like to focus on spending less money towards getting extra items? Throughout last year; I have spent $100 US dollars ($130 ish Australian dollars) towards video games for Playstation 2 and Xbox 360 because I missed playing the Playstation 2 when I was younger, and Jacob and I have been given to us Xbox 360 for free by a friend. 

We decided to keep the Xbox 360 because a friend thought the Xbox 360 was broken, and she told me that if I could fix it, Jacob and I can keep it. It was a simple fix, and in order for us to keep it to use it, we needed to spend money towards getting controllers. 

I have spent money towards new clothing because I have not been able to fit some clothes that I used to wear in Australia because I have been gaining a lot of weight, and I would lose weight but just not a whole lot for me to fit into clothes that I used to wear in Australia.

I have been able to donate a portion of clothes that does not fit me, and I have been able to put into a box aside for Jacob's and mine future children to fit into. I am hoping that this year I would not get tempted to spend as much as I did last year into clothing. Every piece of clothing does adds up quickly. 

Why would I like to focus on getting minimum of seven hours of sleep at night? I know that last year, I tend to struggled of getting enough sleep at nights because I would be too focused on playing games on my phone after my bedtime and I do not keep track of the time. I would hope throughout this year that I would do better and not playing games on my phone beyond my bedtime. I used to get minimum about six hours ish of sleep last year. 

I do hope that I would be able to self-discipline myself and allow myself to have seven hours of sleep at night. I would like to avoid having myself feeling too tired in the morning when I wake up, and I would like to be able to achieve as much as I can throughout the daytime when I do get enough of good night sleep. 

Why would I like to focus on doing personal scripture study daily? I would like to get into a habit of doing personal scripture study daily, and I missed reading my scriptures daily. So far of this year, I have not missed a day of doing daily scripture study. 

Why would I like Jacob and I to continue focus more into listening to General Conference talks? I know that Jacob and I have been doing great at listening to past General Conference talks as a couple ever since August last year during most mornings before we start our days, and during most evenings before we go to sleep. 

We currently have thirty-five years worth of listening to past General Conference talks until we have catch up to the most recent General Conference sessions (October 2020). We love learning so much while listening to past General Conference talks and it certainly does help me to work out topics to type up during the weeks time to time. 

In what ways are you going to do to become better yourself this year? 

Stay Tuned until next time.
