"...and I don't feel any different."
Last year my only New Years Resolution was to “not die” and, as I achieved it, I planned to follow it this year with the inspiring “take care of myself”. I have since come to the conclusion that perhaps I should try to be a bit more ambitious. So here, much belatedly, I will define certain features of “taking care or myself”.
1) Spend more time with loved onesI have an uncanny ability to drop out of existence for weeks at a time. Although this is slightly beyond my control, I often find that the best way to pull yourself out of an antisocial fug is to force yourself to be social. I always know I’ll have a good time when I get there, it’s the effort of dragging myself out of the house first…
2) Improve my sense of well beingAs well as assuming everyone around me is immortal, I need to stop believing my sedentary, food-focussed lifestyle won’t have any adverse effects. Unfortunately this involves finding a way to enjoy eating better and doing regular exercise, in order to ultimately be happy in my own skin.
3) Make better use of my timeAs anyone who has lived with me can testify, there’s nothing I like better than sleeping late into the morning. There’s also few things I hate more than feeling I’ve slept my day away. I know I don’t make the most of my time and I would love to do more - be more productive, less slug-like. I like who I am, but I’d like it if that person could have a little more drive and energy. (I would also like to clarify – spending time completing video games counts as productive).
4) Utilise opportunitiesMy mood concerning my job fluctuates quite drastically. I won’t say I want a new career path, but I want to know I’m making the most out of every opportunity that comes up.
What are you mid-year resolutions??
