So 3 days into the new year and I was successfully avoiding making resolutions as I try to do every year.
However after thinking about my trip to Spain and talking to my trainer and Meg this year I'm choosing to make goals and intentions for the new year. Not resolutions, those feel so finite and so easy to fail at.
I thought it was best to write them down so that I'm at least accountable to the blogosphere if not myself. I had to go back and look at my past post to remember my intentions from the Camino, not a good sign for how good I've been at maintaining awareness...
Health - Go down one more size in clothes. This is the first goal for the year but feels achievable. I had a wonderfully indulgent last 3 months and while I wouldn't say that I fell completely off the wagon I definitely slipped a little in the focus. Time to re-focus I really like how I feel when I'm fitter and on the path to healthier even if it is a slow one.
Future - Take the steps to move forward on getting my MBA, stop waxing poetic and actually look at some applications and information. Be sure to evaluate what it is I really want professionally going forward.
Love - Work to be open to love and not talk myself out of it this year as in the past. I am really convincing when I tell myself that it is just too much work to have a relationship and while I haven't been chasing off princes with a stick this past year there may have been a few diamonds in the rough that I tossed aside too quickly...
Inner Peace - What the hell does that mean? I'm not sure what an achievable goal for this would be. I feel like this one just requires a constant awareness and ability to face yourself and be honest with yourself. When I have my cray cray moments and things appear to be spiraling - take the time to pause.
Gratefulness - Intend to show those that I am grateful for how much they mean to me and find something to be grateful for each day. This sounds like it should be easy enough these days, feeling incredibly lucky, however I'm sure there will be some days when this is one of the tougher goals...
I feel better having written it down...let's see how long we last shall we?
Happy 2013!
