DRAMATIC quote, right?
i feel like i've been seeing it everywhere: blogs, twitter, the onmipresent workout pins on pinterest that always pop up as i'm having my nightly spoonful of nutella.
jim rohn was right. this past year, i have totally freebirded it up. vacations out the yingyang, kate spade shopping like it was my job, spoonfuls of nutella like it's a workout regimen. and, i have felt the sting of regret. now, it's time to buckle down and get serious about this little thing called life. and a big part of that is being disciplined to set and hit goals.
last year, i wrote myself a long letter instead of doing any set resolutions. some of those things i hoped for happened this year, some are still in the works and some totally did not get off the ground {run a half marathon, anyone?}.
this year, i'm all about self improvement. i like nicole's long, semi-insane 27-steps-per-month process. that's exactly what i need. a look back at achievements, a focus for the year as a whole and then bite-sized pieces i can take to work toward awesomeness in 2012.
are YOU making any resolutions? i'd love to know!
Ya, I can kinda relate on this. After The Ex and I broke up, I kinda did whatever I wanted...spent whatever money I wanted...whatever I could to numb the pain of it all. Now I'm in a better place emotionally, but I'm definitely not in the best place financially. Sucks because now I'm living with a guy and we want to pool our assets together and see what can come of it. Things are fine, but I'd like to be able to pull my weight a little more. But 2012 is the year to buckle down and make it all work out. So we can support each other in exercising discipline!
ReplyDeleteI kind of hate you for sending me to Nicole is Better. Now I have no excuse to continue on in my current inertia toward overweight, unfulfilled middle age. You motivated me to write about my resolution, though it's still kind of a cop-out. Much love, K!
