New Year's Resolutions. Do you make these? I use to, but found that I don't stick with them, and end up breaking them, before I know it. Maybe they weren't realistic, or obtainable, or truly in my heart? I don't know. I think 'all' of us make the same resolutions: loose weight, spend less money, and get more organized. They sound fabulous.
So, this year, I am trying something different. I'm going to make my resolutions a priority. A focus. Something I truly want to change. A better 'life'.
1. eat better. to be better. a healthier me. a practice to, 'you are what you eat'.
2. stay focused. to finish a project I set out to start. regardless if it to clean out a closet, make a craft, try a new dish. to start and finish what I set out to do.
3. have a voice. to speak-up for what I want. to stand-up for myself, and stop sitting there, watching my own life pass me by.
4. acknowledge blessings. i know that I am blessed. but I don't act blessed. to start being truly grateful for what I have, cherish friends, find happiness in the little things.
5. be a better friend. i know that sounds funny. but, I need and want to be a better friend. to spend time with those who do mean the most to me. to be an active in my friendships.
wow. this is a tough list. But, I am here making my vow to work on these resolutions, and to grow from them. To help me stay on track, I'll post each month how I am doing, what I am doing to maintain these changes and how I have incorporated them into my life, to become part of my life. Join me. Let me know what you resolutions are, and who you plan to make them a priority. Together, we can make a change. Be the change we want to see {smile}.
