Everywhere you go,
people are making New Year's Resolutions. I guess it's that time of year when
we all decide that a new year is upon us and despite our better judgement we
still make these "promises" to ourselves that we'll do this or do
that and honestly in my opinion if we aren't already doing something close to
it in our lives then the chances of us sticking with it are slim to none.
I feel compelled to jump
on this bandwagon; with a few adjustments of course...I will not be saying that
I am going to lose 20lbs; or not eat chips (I save that for Lent!); or do more
charity work. In my opinion these so called New Year's Resolutions are to help
us become better people so maybe if we all looked at ourselves a little more
closely we may see something that we would like to work on changing.
I do honestly want to
lose 20lbs; however instead of saying that I am going to lose 20lbs but such
and such date; I will make a resolution to choose healthier foods OR pass on
dessert. Something that is actually attainable and I won't feel bad should I
not have lost the weight when the date comes around. Another
"Resolution" might be that I would like to get back to the gym as I
do miss the exercising and how good I felt afterwards; not purely to lose
weight. I seem to be on a little bit of a roll...let's see I'll list some
more...Here's one that'll blow a few people out of the water! I will try and
incorporate wearing a skirt once every two weeks; working my way up to once a
week. I wouldn't want to fail right away now would I! (LOL) Also I would like
to dress up a little more; I mean when shopping or running errands on the
weekends. Right now I sneak out of the house in jeans a t-shirt and sweatshirt;
I still feel a little sloppy when shopping and think to myself "I can put
together something better than this!" Another one is maybe to read a bit
more. I do enjoy a good book every now and again and should really get more
reading in. Yes, these are my "Resolutions." In fact I am getting a
little excited at the thought of starting these.
Hmm, it seems now that
I've written it down I just may have to stick to it as other people will be
reading this and I can't really just write it down and not follow up now can I?
Now these are what I call good "Resolutions"; I mean really they are
just like anything else that you want to incorporate into your life...start
slow and work your way up right? I feel good about writing these down and
getting it out there for the entire world to see; I just
may actually not let them get out of control and feel good about the person
that I am with a few minor tweaks...who can't use a few minor tweaks every now
and again eh?
I hope everyone else's
"Resolutions" are just as good if not better than mine and I hope
that you will all be excited to get started on them as I am.
