Happy New Years everyone! It's 2016 and it's time to start thinking of New Years resolutions. Everyone makes New Years resolutions but sometimes they don't complete them like they hoped they would. But, I am hoping to attain at least one of these goals (hopefully all of them). I am constantly tired in the mornings and have a hard time getting up, so one of my goals is to go to bed earlier and get more sleep. Another, resolution I have is to end my 7th grade school year with straight A's on my report card. Its always a good feeling to know that you have improved over the year. As you guys may know, I take dance. I am taking classes four days a week and training to go en pointe (the picture to the right is a dancer who is en pointe). So one of my goals is to get my pointe shoes sometime this year and start getting comfortable with them and possibly start dancing in them. On the topic of dance, even though I take lessons four days a week, I want to go more often and longer. I started ballet only a few months ago, and I am behind everyone of the skills and training level since I started so late. I want to learn more and more so I can get to the same level as all my other dance friends. Lastly, I want to eat healthier. Being a dancer requires a lot of strength and I eat a lot of candy (whoops). So, I want to start getting into shape and stretching more often at home to get more flexible. Anyways, I hope I didn't bore you with that long paragraph.
The most important goal for me to reach this year is to eat healthier. This is because I dance a lot, and if I don't eat healthy, it makes it a lot harder for me to dance. It drags me down in a way, plus I have to get more flexible and eating junk food will not help. Eating healthy is a hard thing for me because I LOVE candy but if I want to be successful in dance and get better, I need to switch a few things up in my daily diet. For example, have one piece of candy every three days instead of everyday. And yes, I am very serious about dance and love it a lot so you are going to be hearing about it very often. Anyways, eating healthier is also extremely important because not only will it help me in dance, but it will help me feel a lot more active and happy. I know, I sound like a crazy person talking about dieting and eating healthy but I'm not a crazy person (well... not completely crazy)! Alrighty- enough of that!
My most important goal is to eat healthier and stretch more, but I can't just snap my fingers and BLAM... I'm eating healthy. It will be a challenge but if I take certain steps, I can do it. First of all, I'd have to tell my family about this goal so that they could help me stay on track. Then, I have to set a limit like eating only one piece of candy or one bowl of ice cream every other day. Then, I will continue getting stricter, by saying like only one piece of candy or one bowl of ice cream a week. But it will take a while. The second part of it (stretching more) will be achieved by me stretching at home and in my free time. I'm pretty flexible but I need to be more flexible to be successful in dance. This one will be easier that eating healthy because I watch a lot of YouTube, so I can do some stretching while I'm watching videos. the hardest part of achieving this goal will probably be to continue doing these thing throughout the entire year. That is why I have to let my friends and family know what I am trying to do because then they can help me and keep motivated.
