Unfortunately, all of the terribly organised plans I had arranged in order to have an 'incredibly fun, incredibly eventful' New Years have collapsed, leaving me on my own with my slightly frantic family, their barmy friends and my supersize mug of tea.
On the plus side, the alone time has left me with some time to reflect, not so much on the year that's almost over (thank goody gumdrops) but on the year that's coming.
There are probably a million and one blog posts on the hundreds of New Years resolutions people are planning to 'completely, under any circumstances' going to keep, but with the knowledge of how unlikely this is for me I have come up with just two to keep my mind occupied:
1. Eat healthily and stay fit. I know, incredibly original right? However, the way I feel is really important to me and my self-esteem is always a lot higher if I have been healthy. I'm not really a big believer of diet plans after everything that has happened with my best friend's anorexia, but I have made a workout regime that I plan to do at least four times a week (I might do a post on this a bit later).
2. Say yes to more things. My mum has a saying that goes, 'Do something you feel uncomfortable with and there will always be a reward.' While this is just a long-winded way of saying 'Step out of your comfort zone', I can't help but agree with her. Every time I have returned back from somewhere lightheaded and happy with the world, it is usually from a place where I would have arrived with a churning stomach and incredibly negative mindset. Conclusion: this year I am going to be more open to doing things I don't always feel like doing, and am going to stop staying at home as much watching TV shows.
Both these resolutions are pretty ironic seeing as I am currently sitting on my bed, munching Lindor chocolates and watching Downton Abbey. However, as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning I am enthusiastic they will be put into action.
Next year will be good, I can feel it.
Bonne année!

These are the resolutions I make every year! I haven't included them for 2014, because no matter how hard I try, I never have the confidence to follow me dreams...

You should really stick at them! Saying yes to things especially. Participating and doing things you normally wouldn't is kind of what makes life I think :) Go and make 2014 your year xx
