Inspired by the movie: New Year's Eve, I decided that I am going better my life in 2012. I am tired of being a 30 something gal who has big ideas and dreams but never follows through on them.
So here it is, January 1st 2012. Brand spanking new year. First I thought I would write 12 resolutions down and accomplish one per month. That seemed totally do-able, but really, where's the fun in that? . Then I thought it would be more challenging to really push myself to do 365 days of resolutions.
So what is a resolution anyway?
According to Google's dictionary, it is "a firm decision to do or not to do something". I think that pretty much sums it up.
I just read that less 10% of New Year's Resolutions actually get accomplished. WOW, that is truly depressing!
I guess if I am really going to make a go of this, I am going to have to make my resolutions SMART (which stands for specific , measurable, achievable, realistic and timely).
By the way, I think that some resolutions are going to take longer than 1 day to accomplish, so there may be some that have a one or more week deadline. The ultimate goal is to spend the next 365 days on bettering myself.
So here I go. The next post will contain my first resolution.
Wish me luck. :-)
