Mimosas and Manhattan | New Year’s Resolutions

 I have never, ever been one to set New Year’s resolutions for myself, mostly
because my biggest fear in life is failing at something that I set my mind to.  Since I have moved to New York however, I
have realized that failure is entirely OK because it means you are pushing
yourself to do something out of your comfort zone. So many people in life are satisfied with comfort and routine, as I get to know myself more and more however, I
have realized that what I love and thrive off of is feeling entirely and
overwhelmingly uncomfortable. Since graduating college, it has been my personal mission
to get my mind and body healthy. Let’s just say the binge drinking and
drunk/hungover eating really caught up to me and affected the mind and body I had worked on my whole life. So my New Year’s resolution of
2016…stay healthy and stay hungry.

Healthy and hungry in this case can mean very different
things. Healthy doesn’t necessarily mean skinny or diets. Everyone’s healthy is different.
For me, healthy means keeping the drinking to a minimum, working out because it
clears my mind and remaining centered. 
These seemingly simple goals can feel entirely unreachable working in
the fashion and entertainment industry in New York. Late nights are inevitable, partying goes along with the job and sometimes personality can take a back seat to production. But keeping focus on these three aspects of staying healthy has such a huge impact on my
happiness, so I am determined to put them at the forefront of my life. My next resolution, stay hungry. Stay hungry for a challenge, for life and for opportunity. Challenges and
failures occur all of the time, but it’s the people that push through those
challenge and keep their hunger that learn to define their own success. 

Here is to a healthy and hungry 2016 to everyone! Would love
to hear about some of your resolutions, so comment or tweet us @TheMimosaGirls!
