Let's be honest. January is probably the worst month ever to start new year's resolutions. you just got back from the holidays—and probably gained 5+ pounds. It's cold. the weather is miserable. you are sad that christmas is over. you are pretty much depressed. Why make yourself train for a marathon/become vegan/read a stack of books/etc, etc? (and by you, I mean me)
I have officially declared January my "regroup" month, and February the month when I start my goals for the new year. That means TODAY. So after a good month taking it easy/thoughtfully pondering how i might improve myself this year, these are the goals that I have decided are most important to me:
+ write in my journal every day—even if it is only one sentence. my blog does not count.
+ since I didn't write in my journal last year, write a memoir of 2010 – 2011 leading up to my marriage
+ work out at least 3 times a week
+ attend the temple at least twice a month
+ reach financial goals by sticking to our budget plan
+ develop my talents and share them more often
+ act on good thoughts—this one isn't really measurable, but it is something I want to focus on this year
+ make the rest of our "first year of marriage" the very best it can be. AKA Carpe Diem for newlyweds—again, not so measurable. But a worthy goal, yes?
Ummm... and that's it for now. Nothin too crazy. I'm feeling pretty confident about accomplishing these in 2012.
Wish me luck.
