New Years Resolutions

ruby_woo · 12-31-2012, 11:26 AM

My New Year's resolution is to be less of an introvert, try to actually leave my house more often, and try to meet new people. The perfect butch or guy isn't going to land on my lap while I watch Mad Men on Netflix.

New Years Resolutions can be tricky I think, simple but still challenging.... I want to better myself always, and make progress in some way. I try and break them into categories.

My Health...
... I will revive my body using a change in diet (go back to eating how I used to, less carbs, more fresh and natural foods)
... I will strive take a weekly meditation walk where I can be surrounded by nature and allow the baggage of life to lift away from me.

My Future...
... I will continue my education by starting a bachelors program in teaching

My Faith...
... I will find a way to be active in a spiritual community, no matter the obstacles, because I understand that community opens the soul and allows for growth and courage.
... I will remember to practice privately with more regularity in an effort to keep my spiritual focus at home and in all I do

I don't have quantitative goals for a reason. I try not to live life about the numbers, but about the experience and quality. I also try and remind myself regularly that goals are only starting points for progress, they may change and change is good, so long as you continue moving in a positive manner.

Happy New Years Planeteers!!!

I don't really do new year resolutions
What I will say is bring on this new year, I'm ready

At the top of my list of what really isn't a resolution, is change...my move out of OKC will happen in 2013
All I need is a place accepting of my rescues and I believe the rest will fall into place
Also for 2013, I want to find love again, not just any kind of love, I want true love, deep love, so I can fall in love love

That's about it, I'm a simple person with simple needs
No sense in asking for more than that heading into 2013
Everything else after that would be like icing on a cake I wasn't even expecting

my only change is to include a Gratitude of the day thought at the end of each day, and to write it.

We did this a couple of years ago, and i enjoyed it, so i am going to do it again.

My resolution ---stop trying to understand why things happen. Be it to me or someone else. To know that there is a bigger picture and I do not walk through this world alone. My help is with me and always has been. Why should I fear anything or anyone... it is time to lay my burdens down. Time to let go of guilt, shame, anger, and above all resentment.

Happy New Years Everyone!

My resolution is to find better employment so I can leave my current job. I am determined for this to be my last year at my current job.
