2008 New Year's Resolutions (Worksheet)

[dalthauser]

I'm limiting myself this year to 4 because I plan to take them seriously this year...... seriously.... :-)

I have three - I just need the 4th. 

1.)  Lose 24 pounds  -  Okay, I have more than that to lose - but I'm GOING to lose those 24.  That's 2 pounds a month - I have to be able to manage that right??  :-) 

2.)  Get a Social Life - In order to make this resolution clearly defined I will have gotten a social life when I meet 6 new IRL friends (male or female) outside of work by the end of the year.  That's one new friend every 2 months.  

3.)  Find a "Better" Job -  My current job is okay, but it's not what I want to do (right livelihood) and I need to be spending those 40 hours a week on something that adds to my fulfillment in life.  My current job is so not that.  This will be challenge because I have to make a minimum amount of income in order to pay the mortgage etc.  While working at Maldonado's Nursery or as a cook at Green's Restaurant would definitely add to my happiness - sadly, neither would even come close to paying the bills.


Anyone have a suggestion for the 4th?

(somebody may have noticed that I didn't put in the "get off soda" resolution.  I tried it, and it physically hurt.  I'll work on that when I'm thinner and have friends who can support me through withdrawals.... :-)  )

Hey your resolutions sound like mine except that:

1. Lose 75lbs.
2. Improve my social life.
3. the same thing. (only I don't know what I'd like to do though.) hmm.

I have more than 24 to lose, but I'm thinking if I just concentrate on that amount I'll have a chance :-)

At least you have a social life - I think it's easier to improve something existing than to start over from scratch :-)

4th: That the other three will manifest into reality.

Have a good day.

You want a suggestion for a fourth? Sounds like the other three are going to keep you pretty busy.

I say the fourth should be to be good to yourself.

And my suggestion to help with the first three would be to look into volunteering at a local park maybe help clean it up once a month.
Initially that doesn't sound like too much fun but it would get you out to meet nwe people of similar interests.

Good luck with your resolutions and I wish you a fabulous new year.

Volunteering would be a great 4th suggestion. I don't know where I'd volunteer here where I live. I like the idea though - and it makes sense for it to be a resolution because it's something I've been "meaning" to do..... but never made it happen.

You list a catogory for health, one for social, and one for wealth. . .but howabout something concerning family or spirituality . . .or educational?

Ah true. Educational might be a good one to do. Spiritually I feel very comfortable - and also family. Educational though - I've been wanting to work on that.
