Will You Make A New Years Resolution?

[bonnecanyon]

I stopped doing this a long time ago, but was wondering if any of you do still make resolutions and what they are.

It might be interesting to post them and then look back to see if you kept them and how they changed or affected your life/perspective. Could be a positive thing to document our progress.

I have made the same one for a few years now.

To do what is right and the best for myself and my family. If any one outside the family disagrees with any decisions I make, then it is their problem not mine.

So far it has stood well in everything I have done.

Instead of resolutions (and I agree they resolve nothing!) I try to make goals. This year's goal is more healing and more health. More time spent enjoying my husband and our 'dates' together. Less (hopefully) worrying about things I can't control and less anxiety which tends to springboard every other symptom.

They say resolutions simply bring to the surface things that bother us deep down. My 'resolution' this year is to obtain physical/mental/financial stability. Heh.

I stopped making resolutions a few years ago. Now I just make plans. The list can be long or short, I can add, subtract, or simply change things without the "guilt" associated with resolution failures. My list is long, but this year Chris and I are planning to get him back into counseling and I've planned to stop putting everything I want aside to make sure he's happy.

EeeK! Please don't lay all of your wants aside, chguise, you are important, too!

I guess mine are more goals than resolutions....simplify...simplify....simplify. Less material things (money saved), more time with kids and hubby.

a3a2, I know it's a bad habit, but we've managed to minimize his worst symptoms with my undivided attention... but I can't continue to live like this. I have to sleep, I have to write, and I need some time alone. I'm taking back my writing room, and the door has to be closed part of the day. And honestly, he's excited I'm gearing up to finish what I've been working on for two years.

I have to make my resolutions simple...

For 2010 my resolution is "what"?
