Happy New Year, everyone!
I love a new year because I am a huge planner. I love to organize, map out, calculate, and check off lists full of to-dos. And a new year is a perfect time to make the greatest of all to-do lists: My New Years Resolutions.
#1: Return to blogging. It's been...nearly a year! Work got slammed around November 2010 and I was working 60-70 hour weeks solidly until August 2011. Then my boyfriend moved here from Ireland in July, we moved into a new apartment in October, the Holidays hit and etc etc etc. Life has been hectic but it's finally calmed down so no excuses. And I miss writing.
#2: Be healthier. Isn't this on everyone's list? More exercise, less carbs, completely cut off soda, get 8 hours of sleep each night, and floss my teeth every day. Oh and cook meals at home at least 5 times a week. Organic meals.
#3: Make a greater effort at mostly everything. Make the bed everyday. Even on days when I work from home, avoid the ease of hanging out in pajamas all day. Try harder at work. Don't take 5 days to respond to social emails and voice mails. Take the dog for longer walks.
#4: Less TV, more life. I love TV. I mean 6-7 hours a day love TV. And to be fair, 90% of what I watch is educational. But still, in relying on the TV to entertain, I'm not getting out and about enough. So le boyfriend and I are going to use at least one day a weekend to go experience something. Museums, shows, live sporting events....maybe I'll even check out living social.
So what are your resolutions? Any tips on how to keep them?
one step at a time? good luck! It's good to read you again <3
ReplyDeleteI have three resolutions:
ReplyDelete1. To let the past go (finally)
2. Engage with life again and stop hiding away
3. Find 'me' again... I've been lost a while being something/one that everyone else wants me to be and its about time (at the grand old age of 40 in a couple of weeks time) that I started being who I want and not what others expect me to be
