Blog more- I'm currently in the process of making my own planner (because I can never find one that has everything I want and feel that I need) and I'm including a blog post planning sheet. My goal is to post 2-3 times a week depending on my schedule. I read something about goals on Gretchen Rubin's Happiness Project about how when she started her blog, she had to do it daily or it wouldn't have worked for her...I'm hoping that I'm going to be the exception to that rule when it comes to blogging.
366 Picture Project- I'm trying to take a picture every day. I'm on day 4 and it's already more difficult that I anticipated. I'm attempting this one with my friend Lynsey over at Read. Write. Create. She's a scrapbooker, but I'm not attempting anything nearly that ambitious. I plan to post my favorite pictures on this blog on Saturdays (so that ties back to the blog more goal). Eventually, if I follow through for all the days, I will maybe make a photo book online to document it. I think the thing I'm most excited for with this goal is that I got a new camera for Christmas so this will help me become better acquainted with it and allow me to document more life moments. Now I have an excuse to be the crazy lady with a camera :)
Run a Half-Marathon- Hoping to be able to complete this goal by May so I can run in the Fargo Half-Marathon. Now I feel the need to share that I am starting from nothing. I do not like to workout. I started going to the gym roughly halfway through December, but have only just gotten up to ALMOST being able to run a mile without passing out. I'm not likely to stick with working out unless I have a goal and I figure, go big or go home!
Do one selfish thing a month- When I told my mom this resolution, she laughed and said she thinks I underestimate how selfish I am. Maybe I'm biased, but I think I'm a pretty giving person. Most days I work 2 jobs, if not more, and then I either go to the gym (which is not a fun selfish thing, so it doesn't count) and then I go home and either go to bed or work on stuff for my kids at school. If December had been a part of my goal, my piercings would have counted. I haven't figured out January's selfish thing, but February is a haircut and possibly color.
Be the bomb in college- Not really a goal/resolution, but I'm going back to college this semester and I am so excited. I was kind of floating this past year and I feel like my life is back on track after a bit of a detour. It's hard to get around yourself when you're the obstacle, but one day I woke up and was ready. This time-off has been great, but I'm ready to get serious and work toward my future. My legitimate goal is straight As because I think it'll show the Teaching program that I'm serious and ready to blow their minds.
Those are my resolutions and goals so far. I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that this year is going to be amazing. I'm ready to (prepare yourself for cheese) be the best version of myself and I know this year is going to be filled with immeasurable happiness. I wish you all the best of luck on your goals and would love to hear about them if you'd like to share.
