To Nicole in 2019:
yes as cliche as it sounds, I'm gonna make a deal to myself to actually pen(type) down things I wanna change this new year.
1. READ MORE BOOKS
I've spent too much time on social media and it's actually not helping me in terms of maturity and self development. The only book that I'm reading consistently throughout the year is the Bible lol. Spending 99% of my time facing my mac due to my course had been a good enough excuse to not read any books since everything is online. I used to read a lot when I was in primary school (so long ago i know haih) until studies took over most of my time. Gladly, I managed to pick up my reading habit back this summer break and it's never been more liberating. It's depressing to see that generation these days don't really read much, especially in our country. We prefer facing our phones more than books cz #FOMO. Haih.
2. WORKOUT MORE
This is gonna be the hardest cz I'm super lazy and sleep a lot. I used to be so active in sports but right now I'm just that old woman with really weak stamina lol. In short, I just need more determination and motivation to go out and stop being a couch potato. This year I am gonna try to achieve this goal, trying my best.
3. BE STRONG AND JOYFUL
Last year had been distressing and depressing because I'd been allowing my emotions to be easily affected and swayed by other people's sinful actions and perceptions. This year, I want to be stronger, bolder to live for Him and not for others. To be resilient towards others and to learn to surrender to God, fully.
4. LOVE MYSELF MORE
I have this really bad habit/character of being stingy to myself. Always not eating much and trying to save money for idk what reason when I should spend eat more and not skip meals. There's so much wisdom in spending and saving and hopefully this year I will be a better steward when it comes to dealing with my finances. Hence, cheers to a year of loving myself more, taking good care of my health, both physical and mental.
In spite of all the tears and circumstances in 2018, Thank God I made it this far. Dear 2019, teach me to love more and be more joyful.
Love,
me.
