I like resolutions. Some people don’t appreciate them like I do or prefer to call them “goals” like my brother. I like them because they help me focus and I do actually keep them. Looking at last year’s resolutions, I did pretty good. The key is to make realistic and slightly general resolutions. If you say, “I’m going to work out 6 times a week and run 10 miles every other day”…well, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Not many people can do that. But if you say, “I’m going to work out regularly and continue to run every week”…now that’s a resolution I won’t break.
So here are some of my goals for 2012:
1. Finally run a 5K.
2. Take one picture every day.
3. Learn to meditate. (I have a really, really hard time turning off my brain.)
4. Continue to develop and debut my new project. (More on that soon.)
5. Use my tripod more.
6. Get back in the habit of using coupons.
7. Send more thank you notes.
8. Read more.
9. Do an art project with Jasper weekly.
10. Keep a short daily journal that includes something I’m grateful for.
All doable! Here’s to a fresh start and a new year to get things right.
nice list!
so what 5k are we all doing!?!
Tony – I don’t know! Maybe one in the early summer?
