I dont plan on any "revelations" in 2015. Don't take that the wrong way..
While not exaclty a "new years resolution" the last day of break seemed an appropriate time for my list of "things to do in 2015". I already feelI am a relativley healthy person. I make exercise a regular part of each day and enjoy sleep- which can be hard to come by as a student. I try to eat well & keep the adult beverages to a moderate ammount. I won the parental lottery, have the best sister in the world & a boyfriend who means the world to me. I am in the graduate program of my dreams, in COLORADO (where I have always wanted to live), working my way to the job of a lifetime- a Physical Therapist. I have been blessed with all that I need and even more than I could ever want. With all that said..I haven't been enjoying life as much as I feel I should in the last few years( especially my first semester of PT school). I let stress get the best of me and allow small, unsettining situations to ruin a day. I constantly compare who I am now (the runner & student & person) to who I was my last year of college track and XC when I felt like I was on top of the world. "felt" its all about perception...how i "felt" my life was...somewhere in time..that percepption had changed. Now, in a COMPLETLY differnet point in life..I fixate on who I once was while trying to become who I want to be. I dont have one, life changing resolution for 2015, rather many small ones to try and get back into the drive seat of my lifes adventure. With inspriation form my favoirte book " The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin-- I have created The "route" of 2015: plans for each month with a goal in mind: a life of bliss & endless happiness. Each of us, whether we want ot admit it or not, (ahemm...) have certain characteristis we wish to improve on...these is my "resolutions" for the year. Each month has an overall theme I wish to work on and smaller tasks or "goals" I will focus on each week (adding the next to the list as the month progresses), My "Plan" is to try and build on each month (and goals) as the year progresses. As for why I've decided to prusue 2015 in this fashion... - I know there are no 'huge' changes I want to make in my life at this point, however, there are many things in the day-to days that I think I could improve upon in order to become a better human being. January: Health & Fitness
March: MONEY
April: GAME TIME
May: GO GREEN
June: PATIENCE July: WORK harder..
August: ADVENTURE
Sepetember: CAPTURE
October: APPREICATION
November: BE THANKFUL
December: PERSISTANCE
This is my personal list of what I think I need to do to become a happier and better version of my self: the best student, runner, sister, girlfriend, daughter, friend, classmate, and stranger I can be. What are your resolutions for the year? Do you have one? or many? Why did you make that a resolution? --- give each resolution a Why...why is this important enough to you to call it your 'resolution'? Giving your resoultions a meaning, the "why factor" makes them all the more important to you and eaiser to keep...(psych degree emerging). But seriously.. off and running.. xo -lo
