And I think I've said this numerous times before, but I'm not a fan of New Year's resolutions: I think they're just a set-up for failure. Most people say "oh, I'm going to start going to the gym and lose all this weight" and then they start the new year off strong and give up, and then they're depressed that they gave up. So why set yourself up for failure? Then all you can think about on New Year's Eve is all the things you didn't accomplish that year instead of all the positive aspects of the year (even though I'm far from being a positive person...)!
I would be lying to say I don't have goals for the coming up year, but I would say they're far from resolutions:
res·o·lu·tion [ rez-uh-loo-shuhn ] - noun
1. a formal expression of opinion or intention made, usually after voting, by a formal organization, a legislature, a club, or other group.
2. a resolve or determination: to make a firm resolution to do something.
goal [ gohl ] - noun
1. the aim or object towards which an endeavor is directed.
Okay, so admittedly they're basically the same thing... but I refuse to call them resolutions (I'm just stubborn like that)! So here are my hopes, aspirations, and goals for the coming year:
1. Vent more, stress less.
2. Blog more (this thing tends to get thrown the wayside when I'm stressed out....)
3. Learn how to relax - that skill might come in handy in the next few years!
4. Manage time more effectively!
5. Finally stick to a fricken exercise program - no more flip-flopping between things!
6. Paint on a regular basis
7. Make music often
8. Make more time for friends
9. Take better care of myself
