I want to address the following 9 categories with one resolution for each:

5. My personality: to be non-judgemental, positive, outgoing and forgiving

6. My image: to follow a healthy diet and exercise 5 days a week. My goal – to get to 140lbs by my birthday, 126lbs by the end of june and 119lbs by the end of july.

7. My finances: to keep a record of everything I spend and save £900/month

9. My hobbies: to complete my grade 8

lol I just read an entry i once wrote abotu this and it was eye-opening! I once found it so difficult to smile – even embarrassing to smile… like smiling was one big joke. This isn’t the case anymore and I definitely relate this to being an overal MUCH happier person… I feel more in control of my life, I have amazing people around me and I am overall happy! lol… so yea, i thin if you are findng smiling difficult, perhaps the real issue is deep within, so try working on yourself and the smiling will fall into place :D x

that’s probably one of only 3 pics of me smiling. I want to learn to hold a smile cos it seems like i can only smile/grin for a couple of seconds and then my mind detaches from it and the grin turns into a grimace…

is it sensible to just start smiling ALL the time?... like small smiles – i figure that if i do that it might make the big smiles easier.

gee – smiling is so hard lol… if anyone has tips on how to hold a smile i would really appreciate it – for me, i feel like a cheshire cat after 3 seconds and i just can’t, for the life of me hold it in a way that looks nice after that… it just looks forced

maybe i’m just a misery guts and once that’s sorted it will make the smiling more natural
