Resolutions for 2015

I haven't made any resolutions for this new year yet, but it is a personal tradition of mine so I guess better late than never.

1. Read more
I made this resolution last year as well, and I did read a quite a few books, but I will continue to make this resolution and read as much as I can. This year is already off to a good start, I just finished Memoirs of a Geisha and am currently reading Gone Girl, so fingers crossed I keep it up!

2. Draw more
I did well last year in the way that I set up my business for illustrations and graphics and now sell my designs in my free time on products, however I would like to spend more free time concentrating on the drawings and making sure they are to the best of my ability.

3. Travel more
I know I am going to achieve this already as I have booked my travelling for the year. I go to India in three days for a month. And later on in the year I am going to Indonesia and South Africa. I can't wait to explore the world and experience new cultures, I have got the travel bug hard at the moment and I couldn't be happier about it.

4. Say yes and no confidently
I find myself going out clubbing a lot at the moment, not particularly because I want to but because I'm accompanying friends. If I would rather have a night in I don't think I should have to make an excuse for myself.

5. Take better care of my body
I have put on a lot of weight and just want to stay in control of my body, I overeat a lot on occasion and don't do nearly enough exercise, so I would like to change that.

6. Keep control over my anxiety
I have good and bad days with my anxiety but I want to remind myself that I am strong and can do anything if I put my mind to it, I want to break down the associations I have with anxiety such as phone calls, cashiers, stuffy rooms etc. and learn that just because I am in certain panic-prone situations doesn't mean I am going to have an anxiety attack.

I have a lot I want to achieve this year but am optimistic that I can do these things, I am constantly striving to be a better person and have come so far already. Heres to 2015, I already have a good feeling about this one and am so excited as to what it will hold.
