Okay, so i have never been a huge sucker for making New Years resolutions. Primarily because like so many others, i tend to create long lists of daunting and overwhelming "MUST changes" that realistically, I almost never even skim the surface on improving. Sound framiliar? :-)
There is something different about 2013, and I felt extremely compelled (for the first time ever) to put together a new years resolutions list. I wonder if it has something to do with living in a new state... you know, new job, new state, clean slate? (I rhymed). It feels appropriate in timing. Oh, I am also convinced that the snow has something to do with it. Though SLC has been rated to have "the worst air quality" in the country during the winter months, the snow just makes everything feel good. Refreshed! Bright! New? I blame it on the snow gods who decide to so perfectly decorate the valley and the surrounding mountains with white fluffy goodness for encouraging this impromptu resloution list. Oh, and spotify. Have y'all downloaded spotify? I guess im a little late to the game, as i am always noticing friends on FB connecting to and sharing all of their personal musical selections. I had to see what the hype was about, and I am now in love. Sure, you still battle with the commercials ... but you can instantly create ANY playlist with ANY music (new, old, etc) and for FREE! It has only been three days, and I already have a "run/workout" playlist ... (resolutions,people!), a "Good Shit" playlist, a "massage music" playlist, and a "rocking while blogging" playlist. Seriously, there is nothing more thought invoking, and blog inspiring than snow and good tunes. Si? Okay .. enough blabber. Onto the list.
My 2013 Must Changes. ha.
1. Meditate more -- 10
2. Make an effort to branch out and meet new people/make friends -- 5
3. Develop a self-care routine : * eat, *sleep,*workout -- 10
4. Keep in better touch with family, more phone dates. -- 10
5. Spend less time cleaning -- 6
6. KEEP A BLOG. -- 5

10. less time on FB (the soul-sucking, life waster)--6
11. Visit a dentist/lady doctor--10
12. Make more of a feminine effort ... maybe buy a curling iron? shop more?--5
13. Visit Home ... cali, cali where the sunshine shines. mmmm. -- 8
14. See more live music/dance my ass off with my boo--10
15. Do a better job at re-creating our "savings." -- 8
Incase it isn't already known... the numbers next to each resolution are ratings on "level of importance." I figured this way, I give myself a bit of leniency, in not making EVERY single resolution mandatory. It also sheds some light on how much effort i should put into obtaining each goal.
Considering I have already created a book list (and finished one of them on it) #9, purchased a treadmill (and have used it quite frequently) # 3, Have been keeping my eyes open for new massage opportunities as well as updated my resume #7, have planned a trip home in August #13, Have my first hair appointment in over two years today #12, and just finished my first blog post of 2013 #6, I'd say for a beginner... Im on the right track. :)
More later on all of this business ... I hope you have come up with your resolutions and if you haven't, well, good for you too. :)
