How to achieve your New Year's resolutions

I was recently searching this topic for my own new year's list and I thought I'd share with all of you. So, without further adieu, here's how to actually achieve your new year's resolutions this time.

1. First things first, you have to actually think about your resolutions. Don't just throw stuff in there. Decide what you will repeat this year (sorry, 2014, couldn't make it), and decide on a few new ones. Ditch whatever troubled you a lot last year if you don't really want to try for it anymore. There's no point dreading your goals.

2. Right.Them.Down. Make a list. Buy (or make) a calendar and divide your time in achieving your new goals. After all, you have twelve new months ahead of you!

3. Don't make a short list of huge goals. Make a list with many smaller goals. This way you can celebrate smaller achievements that will motivate you to keep going (or to buy that cute sweater as a reward).

4. Be realistic. Don't try everything at once. If you force yourself from the first day of the year to change your habits completely, chances are that your list will 'disappear' by the end of the month.

5. Be optimistic. Leave all your 2014 let downs behind. As Tumblr says, 'there's a new blank book ahead of you. write a good one' (cliche much)

I hope this post can help you make your own list in a week's time. Let me know if you have any other good tips! Until then, happy holidays :)

Back to b(l)ack.

And yes, it's true. After graduating, being accepted at one of the best universities in the world, moving to my dream town, the only thing that makes me feel empowered is starving and looking thinner. I can't help it.

Something is stuck deep in my mind, maybe I've been brainwashed to the point that there is no turning back, maybe it's just my love for styling clothes and looking good on them. Maybe is all of these.

Apart from studying and trying to survive in this new environment of social changes, the only thing that makes me feel in control is not eating. And now the weather is finally cold enough for me to live on tea, soups and black coffee.

Yes, the only place I could express these thoughts was here. The only people who need to know, are you. And I plan on coming back to you, to all my good (and bad) habits.
