I can't break 'em if I don't make 'em. Not into self flagellation with stress.

My 2012 resolution:
To marry a woman with a great personality, who is warm and compassionate and has lots of money. If I've no luck finding her, I'll settle for a woman with just lots of money. |
Sending all of you positive energy, and lot's of support with your goals! Get it, get it. I have several but two I will share publicly:
1. To move from Spanglish to bilingual by the end of the year. I have a trade set up with a place here in Austin called Esquina Tango here in Austin. I will work the door for their Tango Milongas and take free Spanish classes. Big plus the teacher is a woman I work with and adore! I'm excited! 2. I used to be a professional dancer. Sadly I lost my way, and a part of my soul with it. This year I will make dance a part of my life again. Social dancing is good enough. |
[QUOTE=Medusa;488675]Let's start our resolution list early!
I won't harbor any ill will towards my ex Ms.:giggle: If I think the material s*** I own is more important than my happiness, Ill dump it.:vigil: If I get in any relationship that is toxic, I'll say goodbye, and start over:fart: |
Less like resolutions and more like a wish list....
There are hundreds of thousands of ways I would love to improve my life, my self and my world.
Here are a few, in no particular order: 1. This time last year, I was around 135 lbs and working out regularly. I would like to get back down to 145 lbs, at least. In order to do this, I shall eat more colorful foods....less fried, beige food....and drink more water. I shall endeavor to spend at least 3 hours a week in the gym and/or doing commited movement (aka NOT window shopping or dilly dallying around the house). 2. I shall rid myself of the bulk of the clutter that I have close to me now. I made a trip to Goodwill today, but that was a very small load. I would like to pare my clothing down to about half of what I have now. I know that I am a piler and a paper/receipt/thing collector and so, I shall develop a new, faster process of taking in/processing/using/recycling/ridding myself of those things. 3. My artistic side has been sorely neglected this year. I will commit more time to writing, scrapping, penpalling, and general crafting. 4. I will find creative ways to trim the budget. The purse strings will be drawn tighter this year and I need to modify my existing budget. 5. I will do my best to embrace the inevitable changes that will occur and find ways to adapt more easily to them without becoming upset so quickly. Basically, give in to the 'don't sweat the little stuff' movement and learn better coping skills for unforseen issues/problems/challenges that crop up. And breathing. Just breathe. 6. Sweet talk my car more and take better care of her so she won't have many expensive repairs. 7. Dance. I've always wanted to take classes but it just never worked out. It's not going to be in the budget to take classes, but maybe I can check videos out at the library or watch instructional youtube videos to improve that aspect of myself. If I can find a Y or a larger gym that has some dance classes that might be an option too. |

Begin a organic commercial produce company & donate food to poor people. Learn how to bake like a pastry chef! become even stronger, more healthier then I have ever been. learn how to properly ride a horse. Get married to someone who shares my vision. |
Slide on into Heaven
I have seen so much death in the last few years of my loved ones that I am determined to live the rest of my life by this poem.
Poem- Slide on into HEAVEN Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" So light the decorative candles, and use the guest towels, and eat the most fattening desserts, and make those calls, you know the ones, not sure what to say what they will think, just LIVE and have no regrets, act like a fool, put your foot in your mouth, guess what you won't be the first and certaintly not the last. Live to the fullest of your life. |

Perhaps these aren't resolutions, more likely a "to do" list!
I tend to make lists, and have some lingering things that keep getting carried over to the next list. Some things are just common sense, and some are life changing. Putting them here so I can refer back to them if I must! In no particular order of priority: 1. Finish crocheting the 2 baby blankets I have started. 2. Stop using plastic bags to carry things bought! I have a ton of reusable bags, BUT forget to take them with me when I shop. So, if I forget my reusable bags, then I either take my purchases without plastic bags, or buy MORE reusable bags to use, because the bags are usually located at the till. I have got to STOP with the throw away stuff! 3. Make recycling more organized. Tin cans with labels peeled off and rinsed. Larger size bin for paper and plastic. 4. Pare down crafting hobbies. Paper, tu tu's, jewlery, bra art, wire wrapping. 5. Get back into swimming. I used to be a very successful speed swimmer on a very successful team, and holy cow, was I in good shape. I was energetic, physically stong, and mentally disciplined. I was a very focussed. I have a brand new bathing suit, have my swim pass in my wallet, have the pool schedule on my fridge, need to purchase a swim cap and goggles. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../sport_073.jpg |

I don't make resolutions
In my younger years, I never kept any of them I will continue to improve on myself That's all I have for now Oh and perhaps find some inspiration, so I can write more |
2012 goals ♥
-2012 will be all about family & friendships..new & old.. i will reconnect with family & friends, people i've been thinking about, people i need to make amends with, people i will work on forgiveness for & people i've fallen out of touch with.. i will open myself up to making brand new friendships, and taking time to let all the people i love know every moment that i can, how much they mean to me. i will never be too busy to connect with people that i love, whether by phonecalls, e-mails or planned get togethers..i will make it a point to remember birthdays, anniversarys & check in with those i know need that.. Life is too short to ever have to say the words "i wish i would have said or done", when it's too late.. NO more pushing people out of my life, i'm worthy of friendships & my addiction is no longer my best friend.. Learning to let go of food, and distancing the people in my life that need distancing. -i will continue to work on my addiction/eating disorder. Though it's pushing me completely out of my comfort zone, i will continue to push myself & put it out there for all to see as a means of not only helping others who need it, but helping myself by keeping myself accountable.. i will continue to attend meetings everyday - i will continue to see my Counsellor (specific to ED's) and i will continue to see my Dietician (also specific to eating disorders).. i will find a sponsor, i will continue to use all of my tools and i will pick up additional tools to add to my tool belt - i am worth all of this & 2012 will be my first year of recovery! -Weight loss - i have already lost 71 lbs, and 2012 will be about losing the additional weight i want to lose. i will continue losing weight the healthy way, by eating right and exercising.. i will be faithful about using the tools i have to keep me motivated each day and i will not beat myself up if i fall down, because everyday is a brand new start .. i will learn to give myself credit where credit is due, and i will learn to NOT be obsessive about the weight loss, because it's more about the health than it is the weight loss.. All the good choices i make daily ensure a healthier, happier more well-adjusted me! - smile more, be here in the PRESENT, appreciate the moments always, POSITIVITY, work on my self-esteem, wish on stars, take chances, embrace my unique & beautiful self, be FIERCE, love like there's no tomorrow, detach myself from stress & dramas, take time for my hobbies & find new ones, have FUN & always gain knowledge.. Life is too short to not enjoy everyday to it's fullest. - Volunteering, paying it forward, always being supportive & helpful when i have the opportunity, work on ways to give back concerning poverty, eating disorders & addictions, low self esteem, community issues, children & hunger, queer community.. Mtn & i are always talking about ways we will give back, and it's something that is so important to our well-being and positive minds, and in turn it helps sprinkle love & warmth anywhere it's needed.. We've generous, caring hearts and the world could use a whole lot of that ! -Lastly, financial re-building... The last few years have been extremely difficult, financially due to my addiction, my binges were costly and i'm embarrassed to say i put certain things off which has literally not been good for my financial situation.. Having started to get a grasp on my addiction/eating disorder - i am making 2012 my year to shine, catching up with everything, budgeting, smart shopping, coupon cutting, looking for sales, being aware and getting a grasp - i've already started to and it's already making such a significant difference.. talk about a wonderful feeling.. Not putting money towards binges has clearly made a huge difference, and being smart about everything will be a big help too.. |
This is the only resolution I am guaranteed to keep...

2012 will be about progressing and moving forward with my current adventures; while accepting surprises/changes that may come across my path...
:goodluck: |
I don't want to set my sights too high. So I'm thinking maybe:
Get up every day. Do not sleep in street clothes. Walk outside at some point, other than just to take the dog out. Speak to one person every day whom I did not birth. (The dog does not count.) Seems daunting, but I've got to start somewhere.... |
I don't make resolutions....I'm always a work in progress. I may not be very good at it sometimes, but, I do the best I can.
