New Year's Resolutions... belated variety...

[fajrdrako]

Yes, January 1 has passed - the traditional date for resolutions.

But I must have been dissatisfied with my resolutions this year, because obviously my subconscious was working on the issue. And I was doing fine with the set I had, though maybe not so much with the yoga practice.

So I thought of a set of resolutions that I prefer. Much simpler and less specific, and more important.

1. Do it now.
   
2. Do it right.
   
3. Do it happily.
   
4. Do it until it's done.

I like this because it specifically pinpoints the issues I have most trouble with, and is still flexible and adaptable. This doesn't mean I don't intend to yoga, floss, and all those other things I listed on Dec. 31. But it gives me a structure to accomplish the rest.

After all, we're still not too far into 2009.

1) is the one I'd borrow. The rest would be asking too much of me. But yeah, flexible principles instead of specific goals, good idea.

We'll see if it works! I don't expect miracles, but it sounds like good guidelines.

mine is: be curious about the coming year.

Oh, good one!

Those are good resolutions. I've always avoided making lists at this time of year, as what I need to work on is quite self-evident to me and I feel uncomfortable putting it into verbal form; however, these are just right, and I hope you don't mind if I borrow them for myself. Thank you! And -- luck!

Glad you like them! Yes, and good luck to both of us.

Should be fun trying, anyway.
