I always laugh when people jump into making resolutions and saying, "New year, new me." I do ask myself, "Is it possible to change ovenight just because the clock hit 12 a.m.? Nah, I don't think so; it takes more than that to say "New Year, New Me." It takes determination and resolve to do that, and what does this have to do with being named Fash?
Before I continue, I will like to introduce the person whose blog you are reading right now.
Hello beautiful or handsome reader, my name is Fashtioluwa. Hive favorite alien from Mars. You don't believe? I will drop evidence at the end of this blog. Let's continue.
What are the things I did last year that I wouldn't want to do again in 2025, which will indicate the new year for me? After sitting down to think about it, I noticed last year was a big improvement for me, and I stopped a lot of bad habits that I had, but there are some good habits I develop that have cost me, and one of them is helping at my own expense.
I know many people will think I should continue, but I think it time I put a stop to it. I will stick with the if I can help, I will help, and if I can't help. After getting my pay for the month, I take out my savings, invest, and pay my bills; then the rest are what I am to use to sort things out. You see that sorting out funds is what I use to sort out other people that are not in the budget.
I find it hard to look away when a person is asking for my help. I always make sure I help in one way or another. The issue is not the help but the number of people asking for help. After helping A, B, C, D, and E, I will now have to ask for help from F, G, and H. I don't really like this lifestyle.
How do I plan to sort this issue out?
I will make sure anyone who requests my help will be asked this question: "Can you wait till next month?" Now this question is because I can't help at that moment. If they can, good, and if they can't, they will have to look for help from above.
What changes am I planning to enact this year?
One of the changes I plan to make this year is to improve my savings habits. I am doing well when it comes to savings, but I believe I can do better, and I already set a certain goal amount I want to have by the end of the year. With great effort comes great result!
That's all I have to say. Thanks for reading. Now for the evidence to prove that I am an alien.
Do you know there is a whole new world under the ocean where alien live? If you stick around much more, I will share some photos.
Thanks for reading. Happy New Year.

New year's resolutions are what we hear often, many have seen this as a norm every new year. These are the ones that follow the trend, just as many celebrate Christmas without understanding the purpose, so are these people saying new year's resolution without understanding its meaning.
For some people, who have experienced some difficult situations that taught them life lessons, sticking to their new year's resolution is possible.
Very true. There are many people who say New year New me without understanding that there are resolutions you have to make and stick by them. That's the real new year new me thing.
Ehn ....
Actually that giving aspect is so me , even when it's not convenient, I think I should also add this to mine o .
Mr alien I see you . Lolz
I think many of us are on this table.
We need to take care of ourselves better in this new year. We deserve all the best things we can get.
Don't worry, I will take you to pluto for vacation.
Indeed, it's not the ticking of a clock that will make us completely different from who we are, but rather our mindset and the will to do things differently. However, we can't deny that, even if it seems silly, a new year brings a psychological feeling of renewal, and it's good to take advantage of that to make some changes.
I hope you manage to say no more often, helping everyone who comes to us sometimes harms us. And later, when we're the ones asking for help, will we receive the same in return?
I love this comment. I learnt from it.
Yes, there is this psychological feeling we all get in the new year, and if we can make use of it at the main time, we tend to go back to our former way of life.
And the people who always ask for help often, there was a time I requested help from a guy, and he said, "How will a big person like me be asking for help from him?" He should be the one asking me for help. "I felt bad because I always help you, and now you feel a sense of entitlement towards what I have.
Some people feel after taking out our savings for the month and buying some necessary stuff that they will still have money left; they don't know we think ahead of what they are spending or how they are gonna survive till the next payday.
Very true o, After taking my saving. Buying the things I need to survive the new month, the remaining money is for me to manage to make sure those survival things I get last before the next months comes in.
Sometimes we have to learn how to put ourselves first, and avoid putting others before ourselves.
Yeah, that's very important if not we would continue to find ourselve in one issue or the other
You see, this is something I plan on doing this year, too. Sometimes, I help at the expense of my comfort and that's because I don't learn to say no. I would have had my budget for the month, then someone from somewhere will now come and take without being on the list. I'm not saying I wouldn't help but there are some situations that would make you say no while they check back next time. I'm working on my savings too and there's a target I'm looking at by the end of the year.
I saw that "Can you wait till next month" in a movie, and it really helped the guy. In fact, there are times the guy already knows who he is going to help next month, so if someone comes, he will ask if the person can wait two months. I am going to use that this month, and if they can't, to God be the glory.
You see that part of helping people on my own is one thing am not trying this year again. Especially entailed people
I guess many of us are on this table. Some people just feel its their right for you to help them, very poor mindset.
Also, I think you mistakenly downvoted my post @coolbabe88
It's not easy to say no to people at all,and if you don't learn to say no sometimes, that's how you'll end up not having anything for yourself.
You're doing well
I'm so disappointed 😏, I actually thought you were from Mars, but you still didn't prove it😅
Yeah
Learning to say No can be hard especially when the person is someone close.
Well, we just need to be determined to take that step
And what do you mean I did not prove it 😂😂😂
Check it again or would you like a trip to Pluto
But you didn't tho 😏😂
No, a trip to Mars would be way better 😁
Mr alien is tell you Pluto, you say Mars. You know pass me niyen o
Not at all 😂, I'll follow you to Pluto then
😃😃ok
Good
See you in March
