I
don't do New Year's Resolutions. I shatter them ten minutes into January 1st,
then eat four brownies to try and drown my guilt. Then I can't zip my pants.
I set goals instead. They are
gentler, kinder, and I can keep track of my progress on a paper tacked to my
bedroom wall. Each time I put a check mark in a box next to a goal, I do the
happy dance and eat a brownie to celebrate. With this method, I can still zip
my pants up! Do you, like me, say Phoeey on New Year's Resolutions? Do you prefer them, or do you set goals? Please share one or two with us.
Well, I made some, but there are also goals I want to reach this year. Kind of a two for one thing. :) Of course, I like to put down goals within reach . . .
ReplyDeleteGood thinking, Caroline! I like your method!
DeleteMy goals for 2013 are related to my writing. I intend to post them on the wall of my writing room. My word for this year is GRACE.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a word for the year, too, Cecelia. Mine is gratitude. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteResolutions don't work for me either, Jen. My main goal for 2013 is to get back to basics. I've let too many things hinder my progress the last few months.
ReplyDeleteOooh, back to basics is great, Susan!
DeleteI agree with you. Have a blessed 2013.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise!
DeleteLove

Weeelll, I opted for a 'Gratitude Journal' which I started Jan the 1st, which I actually posted about. Here's hoping I can stick to it, what with journal writing no really my thing.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely, Linda. I hope you can keep your journal, even if only for a week or a month. It will enhance your year, I'm sure!
DeleteI love you! Yelling PHHOOOOEEEEYYYYY from where I sit :)
ReplyDeleteI DID set 2 NEW goals/resolutions which I posted about....the rest of my goals are on-going. Not necessarily new, but necessary :)
ReplyDeleteOh. And I have a word, too. The same one as last year. I'm a little disappointed about my progress in "graciousness", so will repeat it and hope to do better.
