New Years Resolutions

pajama · 01-01-2013, 09:59 AM

I typically don't make New Year's resolutions. But last year, I became older than I ever intended to be.....I was put on blood pressure AND cholesterol medicine. So I have made a few resolutions, well one resolution and progression on a couple of things I have been slowly adjusting.

1. I am quiting tobacco again. After years of being quit, it was stupid to ever start back and I think it is a definite contributor to my high blood pressure.
2. I am moving more. Not even shooting for exercise here, just movement. And I'm making The Boy do it too.
3. We are eating healthier. More organic, MUCH less carbs, and more juices so at least we get some fruit and vegetables in our day.

By the end of 2013 I AM going to be off both of my meds and The Boy and I ARE going to be at least 30 pounds lighter.

So mote it be.

Happy New Year!

Resolution(s)

There are a couple of books I'm going to sink my mind into.

Not buy anything I "want" for 90 days. ( I did this last year and saved some $$)
Organize, organize and then more...start with your clothes closet Unique!
Drink more water and eat less carbs!

Now that it's in post, lets see how it goes..lets bump back in 30 days..lol

I don't usually make new year's resolutions - I don't feel confident that I'll be able to keep them. However, I've decided the trick is to make them measurable and achievable. I have two so far and will think about it and add some more.

* I'm going to go to a beauty salon once a month - get my nails and whatever else done. I don't do it regularly because I think I don't deserve it or because my fingers are in a mess. I do deserve it and I enjoy it. So I'm going to do it!

* I'm going to write one gratitude a day and something positive.

I hope throughout 2013 I pay more attention...to everything. The food I eat, the places I shop, the products I bring into my house, the medications that go into my body, the people I love, the people I invite in to share my life, and my heart.

I also want to work harder at being present. The world rushes at a pace I just cannot comprehend anymore. I yearn for simplicity, less clutter, and more light in my physical environment and in my mind.

That is what I want to work on this year.

I couldn't have said it better. Paying attention and being present are key for me. I also want to keep working on my business goals but in a way that finds deeper balance. I want to be strong and healthy enough to do things here at the farm I have not been able to do myself.

I want to raised bees and make honey.
I want to update my house.
