Happy New Year!!!
I love using the new year as a fresh start on life. After reading a church talk about resolutions, I decided to group my New Year's resolutions into four categories of growth: wisdom/intelligence, social, physical, and spiritual. Here are some of my resolutions:
Wisdom/Intelligence:
1. Read 16 books this year.
2. Take a class at the community college or some other venue to develop an interest.
Social:
1. Make at least 1 new friend. (That might sound a little trite, but when you're a stay-at-home mom in a one-car family, making and keeping friends takes a little extra effort.)
2. Work on thinking the best of people instead of the worst.
Physical:
1. Start getting up earlier to get more accomplished in the morning.
2. Get my weight under 150.
3. Purchase a YMCA membership and work out regularly.
Spiritual:
1. Attend the temple at least monthly.
2. Complete the study materials before each Sunday school lesson.
I'm confident that these (and there are more, I just chose not to list all of them) are things I can actually do. I was reading through the list of resolutions I set for 2009 and I accomplished almost every single one of them. I'm a person who becomes highly motivated by goal-setting, so I'm ready to get to work!
What are your resolutions?
