It’s new year once again, time to look at the lessons learned in the past year. Do you still make new year’s resolutions? I believe that I can change for the better anytime of the year. No need to wait for the new year but I do like to take stock of what happened, what I’ve done well and what I need to change. So in a way, I do renew my resolutions each year.
After reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I resolved to conquer my fears and desires. It applies not just to my finances but my eating habits as well. Note to self: don’t eat for pleasure. Or hmmmm, maybe that’s too tough. Eat for pleasure on cheat day. The rest of the week, eat because I’m hungry. As for my finances, remind myself to only spend for what I need and make sure it’s something I really like. Not settle for an item just because it’s cheap then buy another one later on because I was not really happy with it.
Get more organized. I write endless lists so I don’t forget anything I need to do. On post its, on my notebook, my office diary, my mobile phone. The thing is, I have too many lists and I end up checking all of them so I don’t miss anything. Stick to one list and back up on my mobile.
Keep in touch with family and friends. I have to make an effort to do this. In the busyness of everyday life, I must not neglect to at least send a text or make a quick call. I don’t count facebook as keeping in touch.
Be more consistent with exercise. I do a variety of physical activities, badminton, yoga, gym, biking, swimming. Still, I would like to exercise everyday even if it’s only a 10 minute yin yoga if I’m feeling lazy.
Catch up on my reading. I have a ton of books I want to read. I read a few pages of each book every few days and end up not finishing any of them. Need to focus on one book at a time.
Those are my major resolutions which I try to renew every few months. What are yours?
Happy new year to you and family.
May 2013 brings you jou, happiness and wealth too.
I still have to think hard what my new year’s will be. I do not usually make one.
What I am sure about is the gratitude for this year’s blessing and the hope for 2013! Happy new year!
Happy new year! Wishing you all the best 2013 can offer.!
I’ve yet to do my own resolutions/goals for this year. I wish you luck in achieving these goals. Basically we do have the same list of things we want to accomplish this year! Cheers to a new year!
these are great list, hope you accomplish all these
happy new year ms JB
I don’t have a new year resolution list as I failed to do it most of the time. If I want a change I can do it anytime I want without waiting for the new year.
I agree!
Happy New Year!
I love that your goals for 2013 are very specific. I think I need to be more specific about mine too. It’s the 3rd day of the year and i haven’t really given them some thought yet. Hmm…
Happy New Year Jelly! I wasn’t able to do my list yet, I’m still on the process of recovering from our bad experiences.
Happy New Year to you too and get well soon!
Happy New Year! A healthy lifestyle should be on my list too, glad you mentioned it!
Happy New Year to you and your family. May God bless us more this year. I am not fond of making resolutions but I have a goal to shed some pounds this year
Hey, you have a great list here. Some are on my list, too. Anyway, wish that you could fulfill all your new year’s resolutions this year. Good Luck!
I agree no less, i mean we should always see last year as an accomplishment whether it brings good or bad experience to us…
Happy New Year
Natamaan ata ako from almost all of your resolutions! I have made my own list of goals in my blog, but I completely forgot making a goal to reduce my spending. That’s what I need to work on pala!
Reduce weight and reduce spending I think tied at number one for most people
Fingers crossed
im still working on my list! happy new year!!!
I wish the wishes you wished!
Happy New Year! I am with you with your goals. I have lots of post-its on my planner. Also, I want to settle my credit card debt and not be “luka-luka na nakawala sa mental” when going shopping
Happy new year to you and your family.. 2012 may not be a good year to and my family but nonetheless I find it a blessings as it makes me a stronger woman..
