Resolutions

Dec 27, 2007 by Rochelle

I have a new pet peeve. I hate it when people say they don’t make resolutions because they try to improve themselves all year. I don’t know why I hate it so much, but I really really do!

A couple of days ago I was watching Larry King interview Brad Pitt. Sure enough, Brad pulled the old I don’t make resolutions, I’m always trying to improve myself. Grr.

Yes, it’s great to try and improve yourself all year. I too try that all the time, but there is something fun and great about setting goals for yourself for the upcoming year. Maybe it’s because I see each year as being very separate. It’s a time amongst itself that doesn’t really spill over in my mind.

So anyway, without further justification about why I think making resolutions is great, here are some of my resolutions for 2008:

1. Read More

I sucked at reading books in 2007. I think I read three books. Lame! So my goal is to read 12 books, one a month for 2008.

2. Stay In Touch

I tend to not call my friends and family as often as I should. For some reason talking on the phone doesn’t suit me. I really need to be better about that.

3. Eat Healthier and Friendlier

This is always a goal for me, but I would like to learn more about nutrition. I would also like to buy and eat earth and animal friendly products. When I don’t need animal products, skip it. If I do, try to choose companies that are dedicated to treating animals humanely. For example, eating from Chipotle is a bad idea.

4. Become More Spiritual

Deep down I’m a spiritual person, but I tend to not examine those feelings or let myself be close to the spirituality within me. As a result, I don’t feel attached to myself. I could do a much better job of just turning off the TV and letting my mind entertain me.

5. Worry Less About My Love Life

What is meant to happen will happen and I need to accept that. Worrying is not only bad for you, but it is not productive and will not change the outcome of anything.
