New Years Resolutions (kind of)

I know it's a bit late for New Years resolutions but let me explain.
I don't really like New Years Resolutions because everybody says basically the same thing and then stick to them for less than a month. I also don't see why it has to be a New Year for us to change things about ourselves; I think its just another way to put off what we don't want to do.
Because of all this I didn't make any New Years resolutions this year but I've been thinking a lot lately about stuff I want to do or change. So I decided to make some late New Years resolutions.
1. Learn to play guitar
I've been saying I want to learn to play guitar for the last year but I always put it off. My brother and dad have both offered to teach me more than once, I've been given a guitar book to teach myself from and I've even looked at songs to play but I always make excuses so I haven't yet learnt to play. I really want to be able to play guitar so that's my first resolution.
2. Cook and bake more
I love cooking and baking but I don't do it enough. I have so many recipe books and for Christmas I got a gorgeous little tin with little recipe cards from Joules to write all my favourite recipes on and keep them all in one place. Despite all of this I rarely make any of the recipes. To fix this I'm going to bake a lot more and try and cook for my family atleast once a fortnight.
3. Look after myself better
By this I mean like skincare, exercise and general health. I always complain about the way I look but never do anything about it. Because of this I'm going to start a proper skincare routine, try to do a bit more exercise and eat less junk. Hopefully if my body is more looked after it might perk me up and make other parts of my life better as well.
4. Update my Blog more
My last resolution is to update this Blog more and make it better because I've had it for about three months now and I've posted twice. Neither of the posts were that thought out or planned and I don't particularly like them. Because of this I'm going to try to post regularly and change the way I do this Blog.
Now my resolutions are on the Internet I might be motivated to stick to them a bit more (hopefully). I'll let you know how I get on with them. I'd love to hear any resolutions you've made and how you're getting on with them.
