So I'm a bit late on this whole New Year's Resolution stuff.
I mean, most people have already broken their resolutions and here I am committing to mine.
Better late than never, right?
First off, I didn't meet my reading goal last year. I wanted to read 30 non-work/non-school related books. I only read 22. *Sigh* Sometimes that happens. If I counted my school and work books I'd be well over 40 but I'm not cheating.
So....
Resolution #1 for 2013--Read 30 non-school, non-work related books.
Resolution #2 for 2013 will be my biggest challenge. I'm a going to work on RESPONDING rather than REACTING. I'm huge at off-the-cuff, mouth is faster than brain reaction. It's a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad habit of mine and this year I intend to work on it. HOW you say? By journaling my thoughts and responding when I'm calm.
I'm also going to take up breathing. Apparently that helps.
Resolution #3 for 2013--Drink 60 oz of water a day. Last year I feel like I was sick the whole year AND I felt dehydrated and headachy a lot. I also didn't drink much water. I'm thinking there is a connection so this year, I am working at downing a 60 oz water bottle every day. So far, so good!
Did you make--or break--a resolution this year?
I made a ton of resolutions. None that I made or broke yet. But one unwritten/unspoken one, I did make progress on - be less 'snappy' with my 16 month old when she's whiny and I'm trying to get supper ready.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't drink at least 60 oz of water a day I definitely get a headache. A water bottle with a straw helps get that water in you faster! :) Under Armour makes a great one that has never leaked in my purse! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the other resolutions too. I've been working on my "reactions" too...to Matt and the boys mostly. I do okay with other people...just with them I lose it, which is horrible since they are the people I love the most! (sigh).
Happy 2013! Yes...I know that is really late! :)
