Resolutions
As much as I wonder about what the future holds. In 2023, I have to be present. Who knows, it could be the year all of my dreams come true.
New Year’s resolutions are dumb. They aren’t intentions, they’re wishes. “My New Year’s resolution is to make a lot of money,” or “This year I’ma lose weight.” Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve statements to look back on after another year of stagnation. But if you never set any goals or state your wishes, will they ever come to fruition? As dumb as New Year’s resolutions seem, they can be useful the resolutions you make are followed by actions. My New Year’s resolution is to be the best version of myself.
In 2023, Ima get in the best shape of my life. I worked out hella over the last couple of years but this year I want to take it further. Work is too taxing to hit the gym afterwards, so I’ll start my day with it. Walk, cardio, lift, walk, shower, repeat. Monday - Friday workouts at 5am followed by “breakfast”. Discipline will be the only way I build my intention into habit.
I’ve ingested so much garbage since I’ve been in LA dog, I gotta do better. My diet is slowly recovering from all the steak tacos and, Nashville hot chicken and fancy breakfast sandwiches. Mentally, I haven’t been sharp either. For two months all I watched was sports and YouTube, sometimes sports on YouTube. My 2022 resolution of “more reading in my spare time,” went out the window. Instead I read “rap blogs” and toxic internet arguments on Twitter. I owe it to myself to learn my craft and the world I live in, but there has to be healthier options.
