So it’s that time of year again, new year/new resolutions. I’m still contemplating mine. I would like to have one (or more) but I’m uncertain. I have some goals, but as far as resolutions go I think it is really nice if they are clearly defined, rather than vague ideas. And most of my thoughts on the matter right now, are fairly vague.
Some of my friends mentioned resolutions and made posts online asking what their other friends were doing for resolutions this year. I was hoping someone would say something that I would find inspirational to spark an idea for my own resolution. But there were three that I kept reading over and over again: Loose weight, Stop smoking, and Stop/reduce alcohol consumption.
While all of those are admirable goals, I didn’t find them helpful because I don’t drink or smoke, and I’ve lost 115 lbs.
I would like to trim some more fat, but right now I am more focused on trying to retain, or even rebuild some of the muscle I’ve lost due to my illness. I am far more concerned about that, than I am any number on the scale. And the muscle situation is largely out of my control, so… not a good resolution for me.
I’m floating around a few ideas. But here it is January 4th and I have no firm “new year’s resolution(s)”.
What about you? Do you have any resolutions this year?
Don’t worry if the right resolution doesn’t come to you immediately. If you relax about it, it will probably come to you.
I have a few goals, but they are all more along the self-improvement line morally and spiritually.
1. Have more joy of just plain being…here, now, and feeling one with all things. I have felt that wonderful feeling on occasion before, but I want it a lot more often in 2012.
2. Be of more service and learn to do it more without hooks. I love helping people but I find that I sometimes do it with hooks, sometimes little hooks, sometimes not so little. Things like expecting gratitude back, or needing praise for the things I do…things like that.
3. I am working on a money-making website which is actually quite exciting for me. I would like it to be an unqualified success in every way, but mostly I would love for people to really enjoy and relate to it.
4. I have a tendency of: when the going gets tough, the not-so-tough gets going…in the opposite direction. I sometimes don’t stop to work things out or try harder. I’ll just walk away. I don’t learn that way, and I don’t be of service that way either. I want to be more of the “tough get going” category.
Those are the four that I chose. I could choose dozens of resolutions. Heavens knows that I need to work on a lot of things, but with only four…maybe I can stick them out and accomplish them this year. Whaddya think?
nuthng much always studies + schhol wrk hehe
