I have been slacking off on putting together a list of resolutions because I wanted to avoid feeling like a failure if I couldn't live up to them. But, a few items have been weighing heavily on my mind, so I wanted to openly declare what I resolve to change in the year of the Dragon. And even if I am not perfect in my endeavor, I can remind myself that my intentions are true, that old habits die hard, and as long as I continue to try, I haven't failed yet.
1. I resolve to take better care of myself.
I don't eat breakfast, my workout regimen has dwindled down to once a month, I eat fries like it's going out of style, I don't drink enough water, and I don't get enough sleep. Enough said.
2. I resolve to not speak negatively about anyone or anything.
Okay so everyone has to vent or complain once in a while, but at the rate I have been going, I am about to cross the finish line 100 miles before any of my competition does. Somewhere along the road, I found a pair of negativity glasses, put them on, and haven't taken them off since. It's time to take them off and see the world in a more positive light, seeking the good in everyone and everything. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" is now currently on repeat.
3. I resolve to stick to my decisions, regardless of the outcome.
I am a people pleaser at heart, but I go about it the wrong way. I make decisions intending to make someone else happy, but then end up dragging my feet the entire way, which obviously defeats the purpose of why I made the decision to begin with. If my intention is to act selflessly, then I need to follow through to the end. No second guessing, no complaining, no regrets.
And there you have it. Here's to kicking off an awesome new year - the year of the Black Dragon!
