7 Reverse Resolutions for 2015

So many people are focused on things they should do this next year that they forget the habits that they should stop doing instead. Here are 7 ways to make 2015 your most succesful year yet:

1. Stop not ordering the fries (or whatever unhealthy option you crave)

Sure, ordering a side of steamed vegetables with your meal at a restaurant versus garlic, buttery mashed potatoes or French fries is definitely healthier, but if you want the fries then just do it! Just make sure your other choices are healthy ones. Chances are you will wish you had the fries later and overindulge in something else to make up for it anyway.

2. Stop complaining on social media.

Honesty, it's just tacky. When you are on the Internet, all people see is what you present them. If all you are showing people is your crappy day at work or giving them your side of a major fight with a friend, then all they are gonna see is someone who isn't mature enough to get off Facebook and handle their problems.

3. Stop body shaming each other. 

Or any other kind of shaming. Nothing is worse then spending om hours working out or hours getting ready with the little voice in the back of your mind telling you that unless you look perfect someone will judge you. Who cares if someone isn't a size 2 or doesn't have the best haircut in the world. How would you like it if you were judged by the standards of which you judged others?

4. Quit doubting yourself.

You are capable of anything you set your mind to and you truly can accomplish all of your dreams. The more you tell yourself that you can't do something, the more likely it is that you will never do it. But the same is true for the opposite. Build yourself up. Have confidence.

5. Get off your phone.

Seriously. Let 2015 be the year that you actually live, not just document in pictures of social media or fly through without soaking it in because you are  texting your best friend or checking emails. Put the phone down and be present this year. I promise you won't regret it.

6. Stop making excuses. 

Stop making excuses to yourself about why you are too busy to workout and just do it. Stop fumbling for an excuse as to why you told your friend no to something they asked you to do for them or why you refused to stay overtime at work when your boss asked you at the last second because he knows he can always get you to say yes. Just say no and realize you don't owe an explanation to anyone. Be confident in yourself and stand firm in your answer without feeling the need for explaining and others will see that steadfastness in you and wish they could be the same. 

7. Stop waiting for later to have fun.

The time is now and you really only do have the present, as cliche as that might seem. So just go for it! Take an unexpected trip somewhere, dance in the car, joke around with a complete stranger in line, do everything! Don't wait till tomorrow or next month to enjoy your life when right now is the only time you are garaunteed.
