Past simple

Now you're just jealous because I have a good relationship with my parents and you don't happy New Year's.

By the way, if you didn't realize it yet, it's 2019.

Hope you know this this strategically placed ah flower.

It's a new year and is a good time to just stop and think about your life and reflect on it a little bit and take a look at yourself.

What I'd like to do is just look at myself my day to day activities from an outsider's point of view.

Like, you know, just step out of my shoes for a moment and take a look at the activities I'm doing.

Think about if I truly approve of everything that I'm doing.

Are you living the life that you want to live?

Are your actions consistent with what you want to be?

You know your activities reflecting that you exercise?

Are you getting proper sleep making time for yourself to achieve the goals you want to achieve, Making time to exercise, read learned up on things that you want to learn up on.

And one thing I know is that a lot of people are probably engaging in highly dangerous activities.

You know, it's a new year, and it's time to just play it safe and give up these dangerous, risky hobbies.

I'm talking about hobbies that you were just randomly dragged into by a friend and then you overcommitted into it.

And now you can't get out, and you need some impetus to get yourself out of that and back under the right track.

A few years ago, I have been doing some pretty dangerous activities like motorcycling, scuba diving.

Um, I gave those up and it was not really easy for me to give those up.

I'm sure other people out there are probably doing things like rock climbing.

They began fun that you just go through a local gym or something.

Eventually get caught up into it into the hype.

You start paying money, you start buying the equipment and then overtime.

You find that eventually people want you to go rock claim being on Mount Everest or something that's just going to get you killed.

And what you might wanna think about doing is just changing course on certain actions.

It's a new chapter of Find the New Thing to Do, So whatever you're doing, just just stop it, okay?

As far as New Year's resolutions go, I know a lot of people are trying to exercise, stay healthy and that's a great goal, is something I'm going to be getting more into myself as well not tell you how I plan to do it.

I think I'm going to try to start skipping lunches more often, like not entirely skip it.

Maybe I have a banana or something light like that, but I'm going to be using my lunch break to hit the gym and make sure I get my exercise.

It daily would be great, but For now, I'm going to come into at least three days a week, which means that if it's Friday and I happen to have not done my three days of exercise that week, I'm going to just get really light lunch that day and then hit the gym for that lunch period.

You can take a jog if there's not a gym nearby, and I'm also going to be trained to eat silent at least once a week.

And the reason I'm doing all this is because I would like to end 2019 at least as healthy, if not healthier, than I am today.

It would be such a shame if at the end of 2019 I was in even worse health and it was my own fault, my own doing.

And, you know, I'm just fatter, Lazier less energetic.

My cholesterol's higher and I just can't move as much.

I used to exercise more often nearly daily, but recently I've just been busy with my job and my kid and I just let all that slip, so I'm gonna be retaking that back in terms of money.

There's one thing that you can do to really get things in order, and that's to track every single expense.

I make sure that you're paying attention to each 11 easy way to do that is to set credit card notification alerts on your phone such that you get buzzed any time that there's a charge.

This will let you know about when there are things like monthly subscriptions that you didn't know.

You subscribe to being trashed your account, and you just want to be watching each expense and make sure that you know what's going on with that.

You want to review your charges every month and just cancel anything that you don't really need.

Now, in all seriousness, none of this is really going to save you that much money.

It's going to pale in comparison to the press of, you know, a house or a car or just random things that you can do to waste money.

And earning money is going to be a better usage of your time, but you're going to find what this really would help you do is just help you get your finances in order to help you develop a better sense of where money is going, where money is coming in.

I think that would help shape your overall usage of it, your attitude towards it.

And over the long term, that could be valuable.

You can also look at your life in terms of time.

And one thing I've been friend to do is find more time to read books.

One of my resolutions this year is a cutout at least 30 minutes every day for reading.

You absorb information from other people that they have condensed into just a small amount of tax for you to read.

To understand the rate at which you're absorbing.

Wisdom is just very fast in order to make this time.

What I plan to be doing is examining my life activities.

I do, from the perspective of how much time it is taking and evaluating whether I can cut things out or make parts of my day more effective, more efficient, such that I could cut out some time to add an additional activities like reading one thing that I've already started doing is listening to audio books.

That can help, maybe a little bit more productive on my commute.

I imagine that you two and most people are very short on time.

It's the age of the Internet, where everyone always has something to check on their phone.

Whether it be reading blog's news, social media may be washing a video.

Taking a look at how much time you're dedicating to activities like this and try to make things more efficient.

If you can make your life that much more efficient, is going to pay off big over the long run because this will add up over every single day over the course of the year, it's going to add up to a lot of time.

Now is also a good time to evaluate your overall quality of life.

One thing I plan to do is promote better mental health, and I plan to be doing that by holding my tongue a little bit more.

Sometimes I'll say things, and then I want to undo send on that.

Once I say something, it cannot be unsaid, and it could open the whole jar of worms.

Think before you speak and think about if what you're saying is really going to be helpful or it's going to be harmful, and if you can rephrase it in a way that can be helpful for people.

By doing that, you're going to be promoting better mental health for everybody, for yourself as well.

The other great thing to do this time of year is to actually think about trips that you may plan to do this year.

Now I know I did the video in the past where I said, I'm not traveling it.

It just means I'm not going big, long extended backpacking trips.
