15 resolutions you should keep... (so the mags say)

Before we start posting our own goals for the year, here's a list that grabbed my eye today. 2007 : it's gonna be the year that rocks that party that rocks the party :)



1. enjoy being single!
just because you're flying solo doesn't mean you have to be miserable.
see it as a chance to focus on doing things that make you happy and enjoy the fact that you don't have to answer to anyone else! If you want to find love, accept every date you're asked on - take a risk!

2. banish bad habits
be it smoking, drinking, taking drugs, or biting your fingernails!

3. get a check up

4. record your memories
print out your digi pics, organise your albums. what's the point of taking pics if you can't show them off?

5. have more fun
explore restaurants outside your local area, or go to markets, concerts, festivals and the theatre. do things to make you laugh, instead of just staying at home. and best of all, smile. it works :)

6. be more patient

7. give back to the community
you don't have to be brangelina to make a difference. donate to vinnies, do some volunteer work, check out your local permaculture garden, or give to charity.

8. reconnect with your friends
call your pals you haven't spoken to in a while

9. get dressed up more
it's an instant way to make yrself feel sexy ;)

10. take more holidays
forget the big trips - but take regular mini breaks instead to revive your body and mind. go for a weekend interstate, or a road/train trip to the country. Even having yr morning coffee in the local park gives you a breath of fresh air!

11. learn a new skill
not to further your career or because you 'have to', but just because you want to. Learn first aid, take a self-defence course, or join a knitting group.

12. relax more
take pleasure in the small things - a beautiful sunset, being barefoot in the grass, just stop and take a big breath!

13. spread the love
say "I love you" more. simple, but effective.

14. get serious about your diet and exercise
each year we say we're gonna do it but then slip back into old habits. Instead of just making more excuses, just start today. Run, gym, walk, yoga, body pump, more fruit... choose something, anything, and do it now!

15. go easy on yourself!
if you can't keep your resolutions, don't make any! instead, have a think about how you can do things differently and make small changes throughout the year.


Happy 2007 :)
