In the new year, I hope to find more motivation within myself. I am strong and capable, but for some reason, I can’t get around to doing the most basic tasks, because I lack the motivation.
My priorities seem to have gotten a little skewed this past year, only motivated for school and nothing else, leaving my room to suffer, looking like a bomb went off inside it. Pouring everything into my schoolwork, doing more than the best I could, often left me empty when I came home, so naturally, all I wanted to do was lie in my bed and doom scroll.
Anyway, thank Mother Nature for this wonderful thing called “New Year’s resolutions.” They have always given me the chance to work on myself. I think I’ve told myself “new year, new me” enough times that my brain automatically registers the new year as a time for self-growth. But opposingly, it also gives me a real excuse to wait on doing a basic task I need to do because “my resolution hasn’t started…” That mindset can be dangerous.
Basically, to sum this up, a resolution can be a great thing, but try not to be like me and delay beginning a good habit until “next year.” Change doesn’t need to wait for a date on the calendar. We’ve got this. What’s your 2026 resolution?
