NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I am not typically one to get all excited about the new year. I think NYE is a little over-rated and I typically work every New Years Eve so to me its about making lots of money instead of going out and celebrating. I feel like everyone gets this motivation for a chance at a new year and to do things differently, only to break your resolutions after a couple months and then wait another 10 months to do it again. At least thats how its always been when I make New Years resolutions. So this year I have decided to do my resolutions a bit differently. My New Years resolution is to make a new resolution every month. So I will have 12 "New Month Resolutions." Sounds fun to me! So around the first of every month I am going to re-evaluate myself and my life and decide something new to do or change in my life to help improve myself. Then I am going to keep myself accountable by blogging about it on here :)

This past year has been different for me. There have been so many times I have gotten on here within the past year to blog about stuff on my mind or things going on in my life and then I have deleted my post b/c it didnt truly express how I was really feeling. This past year has been fun in a lot of ways...Chris and I have been spoiled with 4 or 5 vacations in the past 6 months. But its also been one of the most confusing and difficult years of my life. I feel like in a lot of ways instead of taking steps forward this past year, I took some steps back and that can be very disappointing. I still dont have the words to really explain this past year...b/c like I said its been very good at times and very bad at times. So until I do have the words we will just leave it at 2011 was "confusing." I know I am very blessed, and I am so thankful for many things in my life. But I definitely feel like some changes need to be made. Thats why I am excited for my "New Month Resolutions!" I want to challenge myself more this year and truly live life to the fullest. I am extremely busy (like most people) and if I dont actively challenge and evaluate myself on a regular basis then I will just slip through every day life without truly growing as a person and I do not want that! I want to be a better version of myself every day....spiritually, physically and emotionally. I'm having a hard time choosing just one to start with because I have so many ideas so far! But I have to start somewhere so here we go...

JANUARY 2012 NEW MONTH RESOLUTION:

I will go to a yoga class at least 3 days a week.

This might not sound "life changing" to most of you but for me I think its a good starting place. I fell in love with yoga a few months ago. I actually really hate working out as far as just going to the gym and running on a treadmill or lifting weights. And if I dont like to do something, I usually wont do it (hmmm maybe that should be one of my resolutions...haha). Anyway, for the past few months I have written down on my calendar every week to go to a yoga class. And when those days come along that I am suppose to go I usually come up with some excuse as to why I cant go. And to be frank with myself its just me being LAZY. Ouch. That hurts to say but its true. I love how yoga makes me feel yet I am too lazy to do it on a regular basis. So this resolution should be good for me in many ways!

Alright well hopefully this works! Come 9:30am tomorrow morning I should be sweating it out in my Moksha hot yoga class...stay tuned to find out if I keep my first months resolution :)
