My Anti-Resolution List 2015

My Anti- (2)

Well here we are again…at the cusp of a new year with a list of resolutions ready to make fools of us all.  I don’t know about you, but I totally suck at keeping resolutions.  Whether it’s because I set my goals too high or I’m unrealistic about my time management skills, I always disappoint myself.

So this year I am preparing a list of things I resolve NOT to do.  Perhaps a shift in my perspective will help me be more diligent in achieving these elusive goals.  So here is my list of five items I will not engage  in 2015:

#1 – I RESOLVE to NOT go on a diet.  I will not fall victim to any juicing fads or paleo-inspired dietary restrictions.  I WILL feed my body fresh food (potatoes are healthy right?) and  I will look at every thing I eat as a deposit to my “body bank account.”  Withdrawals, of course, are entirely acceptable as well, especially on my birthday.

#2 – I RESOLVE to NOT sign up for any fitness classes that make me a slave to a schedule. A workout schedule of any sort is a sure-fire way for me to find ways around it.  I WILL go the gym as often as possible and even better, I will find opportunities to be out in nature jogging or walking or soaking up the sunshine.

#3 – I RESOLVE to NOT let anyone (including my 3 beautiful, budding goddesses) find ways to steal my peace.  I WILL stay neutral in family dramas, approach each situation with love and compassion, and speak with honesty and integrity.

#4 –  I RESOLVE to NOT let my own insecurities play that sorry, broken, old record of negative self-talk that haunts me in my weak moments.  I WILL be gentle on myself when I feel weak, tired and alone and I WILL love my imperfections.

#5 – I RESOLVE to NOT say YES when I MEAN NO.  Just like that…

The Lord bless you and keep you;
 the Lord make his face shine on you
 and be gracious to you;
 the Lord turn his face toward you
 and give you peace.  (Numbers 6:24-26)

Blessings to you in 2015,

Susan

  1. And I will forgive myself for the misspelling of “too” in the first paragraph. I frantically went in to change it after I hit the publish button! But alas, some of you will see the error. Loving my caffeine-inspired self!
