New Year Resolutions
I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year break and managed to take some time out to relax and unwind. I managed to leave my laptop alone for a whole two weeks and although it did twitch a bit – it was nice just to get away.
It’s that time of year when most of us will be making New Year resolutions, whether it’s to lose weight, get fit, stop smoking, drink less, eat more healthily, make more money etc.. There’s usually something that as the New Year starts we want to do differently – quite often as a result of over indulging over the holiday season. What are you planning to do that is going to make a difference to your year?
What one new thing could you learn this year. Whatever your age – don’t believe the ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’. It may take a little longer but there’s no excuse not to learn something new. What have you always wanted to do? Whether it’s jumping out of a plane (with a parachute!), learning to scuba-dive, ride a bike, juggle (I’ve yet to master that one!), paint, take up bell-ringing … find something and take the next 12 months to master a new skill. Are there any new habits you’d like to adopt or old ones you’d like to drop?
As you know – most New Year Resolutions dwindled to nothing by about February. They usually tend to revolve around weight and fitness or giving up smoking. All those gym memberships that people start in January and then lose interest within a few months.
So whatever it is, this year – write down your ‘resolutions’ for the year. Create a plan for how you will achieve them and make yourself accountable by telling someone else about it. Keep yourself on track by putting up your goals where you will see them on a regular basis. Be flexible and adjust as you go – especially if it’s a large goal.
One of my goals is to run the Brighton half-marathon in February – if you’d like to sponsor me in aid of Cancer Research then you can visit my sponsorship page at http://www.justgiving.com/clarehalfmarathon
