9 Women Reveal Their Resolutions For 2019 & You'll Feel So Inspired

I don't typically do resolutions. If I do, they're usually more of a first week or first day thought that becomes an afterthought, and then disappears completely by the end of January. This year, amongst a world of change (both good and bad), I really wanted to make myself a promise I knew I would keep. My New Year's resolution for 2019 is to simply be the "do" rather than the "say."

There are so many things I've done, but there's also so much that I want to accomplish, see, read, learn, and write, that I want this year to be the year of action rather than the year of empty promises. The list is endless, but if I can manage to mark off a few of the checkboxes that have lingered in my thoughts for years, 2019 has the potential to be truly amazing.

This year, I really want to go back to London. I studied abroad there back in college, and consider it to be my second home. It's my New Year's resolution to travel more in general, but making it back to that one city is priority number one on my bucket list.

My New Year's resolution for 2019 is to incorporate more sustainable and plant-based beauty products and household items into my life. I follow a lot of wellness accounts on social media, and I think it would be a great change for me — and it helps the environment, too!

2019 is going to be the year of me. I want to focus more on bettering myself, my health, and saving money. Maybe even start my own business!

I've gotten into the habit of ordering delivery way too often. I feel guilty about spending the extra money, but what really bothers me is that I moved to New York to have experiences, and I don't want all of those experiences to be sitting around in my apartment waiting for takeout to arrive.

This year, I want to cut down on ordering takeout. If I want to eat dinner from a restaurant, I need to actually go to the restaurant and make it into a fun date night, girls' night out, or solo date.

My goal for 2019 is to use my free time to learn sign language. I know so many people who always say they want to learn a new language in the new year, buy the book, and never get started. But, I think sign language is something that I could really stick to. I hope that if I work on it a little bit every day, and maybe try and use it in some social situations, I could get really good at it.

This year, I want to stop talking badly about other girls, whether it's girls I know personally or random girls I see on Instagram or at bars. Usually, all of that stems from jealousy, anyway. Girls being nice to girls, 2019!

I have a bunch of goals for 2019, and I love breaking them down into intentions for each month to help make my goals attainable. This month, I'm first and foremost putting my body's needs first. I'm focusing on balancing my hormones so I can feel my absolute best.

Next, I'm going to focus more on my priorities and what my soul needs, rather than working endlessly toward perfection.

And lastly, a reminder to myself this month and the whole year ahead: I'm intelligent and have so much to offer. Don't shy away or stay small. Get out there and share what you got.

I genuinely want to educate myself about the world we live in way more than what I already know. Whether it be through traveling and experiencing the world first-hand or reading more about it. The world is our oyster, and if I'm going to live in it, I want to understand its geography, culture, and science more than I already do.
