New Years Resolutions

Are you already tired of hearing about New Years Resolutions? Are you tired of writing about them? Are you tired of telling them? Are you tired of reading about them? If the last applies to you, READ NO FURTHER!!!!!!!! This essay is all about New Years Resolutions, so if you absolutely positively hate this essay, don’t say I didn’t warn you! Anyway…Every Year at the beginning of January, pretty much all you ever hear about are goals. There are long term goals. There are short term goals. There are monthly goals, and yearly goals, and even seasonal goals! There are a few kind of goals I personally think are important to focus on when setting goals and New Years Resolutions. First, I think it is important to set physical goals. Second, I think mental and emotional goals are important as well. Third, I believe that social and spiritual goals are important.

First, I believe that physical goals are very important. If you do not set physical goals, either because you don’t want to, or you are too lazy, or you just forget, there ARE consequences. You could turn fat and lazy, and just unhealthy. Some consequences are a little more subtle and not quite as dramatic, but physical goals are still important to be made so that you can keep your body healthy and in shape. Although physical goals are very important to make there are other kinds of important goals to make also.

Second, I also believe that mental goals are also very important to make and maintain. For example: Getting a 4.0 GPA in school, reading a certain amount of pages a day, or a certain amount of books in a certain amount of time, or writing a page a day, or writing an essay every week. These kind of goals are very important too, because if you do not exercise these kind of skills, you will loose them forever, and will turn stupid, and all your knowledge will be gone forever never to return! Ok, once again I exaggerated for the dramatic effect, but you will still slowly loose every bit of knowledge you don’t practice over time. I know it is not always fun to make mental goals, but it is still very important. Mental goals also link with emotional goals.

Third, emotional goals are important to make also. Many people do not understand what emotional goals are, and I guess I am one of those people! Maybe just make a goal to be less selfish and be less emotional toward yourself, and more emotional and sympathetic toward others. Try to understand what others are going through and help them overcome their emotional challenges.

Next, social goals are important also. If you make social goals it will help you become a nicer, friendlier person. What are social goals you ask? They are goals like the ones that follow: Make a new friend every day. Go out of your way to sit by someone new at lunch. Ask 10 people you don’t know what their names are every day…etc.

Last, Spiritual goals are a good thing to make. Spiritual goals mostly have to do with your personal values and religion. For example: Participate in church activities, don’t watch Rated-R movies, don’t go to parties that don’t have any adults at them, become more involved in your religion, don’t swear…etc.

In conclusion, goals are very important to make. Although they are not fun to list over and over again, they are very important! They help your body’s health and will make you have a better experience in life!
