Since we've talked scrapping resolutions, let's talk about those other ones. Do you make them? Do you keep them? I generally try to avoid making grand declarations of new year's resolutions. I do however, try to set goals for what I want to accomplish in the new year though. For 2010, I'm putting myself back on the priority list. I really already started this with my return to a workout routine, but I need to make it an ongoing, continual thing. How about you?
Iam actually taking a journaling type approach to the new year. I dont do resolutions either but I have done the word of the year the past two years. So this time I am doing a total wellness approach in which I journal about each definition of the wellness dimensions and then choose 1-3 items that I can do to improve that aspect of wellness. I will spend a few months implementing those changes slowly with breaks to reflect on and incorporate those changes permanently. I can see myself coming back to this idea often through out the year and hopefully be more focused on my total wellness by the end of 2010.
I have a lot of personal goals for the New Year. Some I am scared of and worry about doing...but I am going to push through. Focusing on me and working on improving myself inside and out. My priorities are crazy out of whack and I would like to get things to the way they should be. I am going to try to clean up toxic relationships too...or learn how to deal with them better. lol! I want positivity overflowing for me and from me in 2010. 2009 had some insanely rough spots, but I am determined to make 2010 better.
I have many resolutions, and kept most of them from last year. Here's my list: 1. Continue not drinking caffeinated drinks. If I succeed, it will be a full year. 2. Continue to work on my weight loss - an ever growing problem. (Pun not intended) LOL 3. Continue to do my daily scripture reading and prayer. 4. Say something positive every day! 5. Do a good deed daily - this is from the Boy Scouts, but I can do it for myself too.
I really don't do New Years resolutions per say - it's too much pressure for one time of the year. I just try to change things as the thought comes to me. I don't feel healthy - time to work our regularly. The house is a mess - I need to do some daily cleaning. Meals are boring - I need to start menu planning .... I used to do resolutions but ... ah, they are just not for me.
Each year I try to find something to focus on for the year. This past year it was fitness and photography. I did ok with the fitness part of it although lately I am totally slacking off. Not sure what my focus will be this year. I might not do one since life is going to be really hectic and out of sync since we may be moving soon. I also set short and long term goals that I keep up with from year to year in a little mini I made a few years back. I never did get around to writing down 2009's goals. I am thinking about doing the Word of the year for the first time. My word is going to be Embrace.
I don't do New Year resolutions, I know myself too well to know that I'll fail them just for the sake of failing. But I'm always resolving to lose weight. Does that count?
I am awful at keeping my resolutions so this year I say I should eat more chocolate, if I fail that's awesome and if I succeed well then i finally followed through LOL
I resolve not to resolve... been doing that for a few years and it works for me... I kinda got tired of making goals that I never reached. Kinda became self defeating....
