My 2017 Resolution is to make
changes in my personal and
professional life to become
healthier physically and
emotionally and decrease the
STRESS
in my life.
2016:
Hit the gym at least three days per
week including two mornings at 5:30 am so
there’s no excuse to skip it after a long day
(2015 habit). Nailed it most weeks including
travel days!
2017:
Same again… not gonna mess with a
good thing.
Generally, it’s been the same for a long time now. My NewYear’s Resolution is:
“To try to be greater than the sum of my mistakes”. Its more about accepting
that I will make them but at least try to be better through it.
I no longer make NewYear’s
resolutions. I’ve opted instead for
continuous improvement
☺
In 2016 my successful resolution was to not eat
any French Fries. This resolution was much
more difficult than you would imagine. Do
you know how many times fries are offered
as an option? Do you know how many times I
had to smell McDonald’s fries on road trips?
Do you know how many side salads and kale
one must have instead of fries in just a year’s
time? Please note that my husband and I both
enjoyed a successful year French Fry Free
but there was loophole noted in the fine print
of this resolution. The Tater Tot loophole was
enacted any time I went to Plan B.
I didn’t set any resolutions for 2016
(who needs resolutions, anyway?) – but
decided to make up for that this year by
setting a whole bunch. I’ll only share a
few of them…
1) procrastinate less, 2) cook for myself
more often (cereal doesn’t count), 3)
use the snooze button less frequently
(wake up earlier and stop rushing in the
morning!), 4) spend more time giving
back in my community.
