[Novel-long post warning again, lol] New goals for 2015: Ok, so Ive been thinking this morning - uh-oh, lol. Heres where I have my Scrooged-moment & get a little preachy, lmao... Forget a stupid list this year! Instead of a goal list 2015 or resolutions that easily are broken, Im just deciding to (and suggest you to as well) come up with simply 3 terms/values to strive at in 2015. I think everyone has values to improve at, and mine personally are: Challenge + Acknowledgement + Togetherness. >In terms of challenge - Im just saying, vow to step out of my comfort zone & work at something/anything thats new for you. Could be anything but you have to apply yourself to it - Challenge yourself to anything you feel you need to work at: Be more honest... Apply for new jobs... Save more money... Cook more healthy... Quit smoking... Lose weight... Write more... Be more friendly... Be more intimate... Read the bible... Learn a new instrument... Travel more... Listen to more music... Be less of a procrastinator... Text less... Talk to people on the phone more... Try planning to get pregnant... Etc-etc-etc. Could be whatever, JUST challenge yourself/myself with new things in 2015, and you (and I) will see improvements with less pressure this year. >In terms of acknowledgement - with so much negativity & violence being reported/talked about daily, try flipping the script and acknowledging people. Actually give people their just due/credit for good things they actually do. Announce their achievements & what they mean to you. Tell people you love them often & open more consistent communication with far away friends. Remember to say pleases, thank yous, & youre welcomes. Try to acknowledge things like: when your spouse cooks something great; or your significant other fixes something broken; or when your kids get good grades; or when your employee does something exceptional; or when a friend defends or checks up on you; or when an aunt takes care of sick family members; etc-etc. Trust me itll make people feel more appreciated & act nicer. >And in terms of togetherness - just aim to do less things alone in 2015. Through both the fun & tough times, do more things together. Myself included, I have family that lives in my SAME neighborhood, about a 3-4 min drive away - that we only see each other about 2 times a year. Its crazy, sucks, & is unacceptable. Especially with friends/family nearby, try not forgetting them, considering them, including them, planning things together, and spoiling them. Try eating more together, partying more together, drinking more together, cleaning more together, playing more together, working out more together, studying more together, watching movies/games more together, vacationing more together, etc-etc. My thought is this will make life feel less lonely, more fun, & more fuller. And thats the 2 cents on my 3 values this year. Lol. Lemme know whatcha think!?
