Perhaps #1 should be not procrastinating? I can’t believe 20 hours into 2012 and I’m just getting this done. But here it is. Ways I’m going to make 2012 better than 2011.
1. Create more. If I can make something (sewing, crafting, activities outside of “play with your toys”) each month, I’ll feel like a supreme success.
2. Complain less. I’ll be a better conversational partner because of it.
3. Serve on a regular basis. I’m not sure what this looks like, but I’m doing my research. In my hopes to engage the community, I need to be specific that it’s not the community “just like me.”
4. Write something beyond the blog.
5. Do a bit of physical activity 5 days a week. My downfall is when this requires changing into a bra that prevents bounce. But I just found a 30 day “challenge” (thanks Pinterest!) that provides some movement and crunching that I can squeeze in at the end of the day sans post-activity shower. A few jumping jacks and crunches are better than nothing.
6. Take more pictures.
7. Find new outlets to meet people in this community. A writers group, a running club for young girls,
Dar la Luz, kids activities (parks & rec activities, the library)… there are possibilities out there if I choose to follow through.
8. Facebook less. If I really want to know what my friends are doing, give them a call, shoot them an email asking them real questions about their life or plan an outing to meet up.
9. Get dressed more. Working from home has a way of luring me into my comfy pants. Though I don’t need to go to the 9s, I could at least don pants with a zipper 3-4 times a week.
Try as I might, I can’t think of a last one to round out an even list. So, I’ll leave it as a wild card. Perhaps mid-year I’ll toss one in.
hey! i like this list 🙂 one question- are you doing the young girls running group (serve?) or are you saying you’re young? (is this totally rude of me asking???!)
i’m looking into the running group for young girls… it’s a national organization and there’s a local chapter – girls on the run (.org). i think you’d totally dig it!
