1. Drink more water. Hard to argue. This is solid. Resolutions are off to a gr8 start.

2. Stop writing in ugly AOL shorthand like "gr8" and "plz" and "lol" even though you are only doing it ironically, what if people take it seriously and think you don't know the English language? Actually, no. Who cares what people think? Real number 2 is "do not care what people think" - within reason of course, can't ostracize myself entirely from society/my barista/get fired from my job etc. etc.

3. Eat better. In a nice way. A non-diet diet! Do NOT count calories. But maybe count some macros. Or just do Meatless Mondays. No, that's too restrictive. Just cut out carbs it is sooooo-hooo-hooooo clear that they are the enemy. But don't like really cut them out, still treat yourself to your weekly baguette and daily bagel. You're a kween. Nay, you're Oprah! You love bread and it bears incessant repeating!!!

4. Stop spending money. Some money is fine, of course, because you deserve it. But really you should start saving. Except for the times you just need to LIVE. What's the point of working all week long if you can't enjoy it?! Literally spend money with abandon. It's yours to burn.

5. Travel more. Greece has been on your list for 5 years. But flights to London are really cheap. Who are you going to go with? You know what, it's better not to leave. Deepen your roots in NYC and make friends here so you can travel next year with them.

6. Write more. But don't force it. You love to write. You don't want it to turn into one of those pleasures you hate. You know? Some things just shouldn't be forced. That said, you need to force yourself to write every single day. Except for the days you don't feel like it.

7. Meditate. It will help you clear your mind. Stay grounded. Feel at peace. It's also terrifying what if your thoughts eat themselves lol my brain is a cannibal, nvm, nvm, abort mission. There's nothing to solve up there anyway. Sit quietly for ten minutes? Waste of time! I could be writing! Eating a baguette! NOT traveling!

8. Drink more coffee. God you're good at this.
