C'mon, what are they?
*I also thought I'd add the following to save some one/s the effort of typing the same thing as always...
While I'm sure many people are aware that they could put into action NOW what they've put onto their NY resolutions list, some prefer to work towards something from the ground up, some work towards specific goals that have been deliberated upon for a while, some people are already in fact on the way to obtaining these goals.
So, NY resolutions keep getting made, and if you feel like you don't need them that's all good - but each to their own etc.
Me, I used to be like that "fix it now, why wait?" etc about NY resolutions, but then when you think about it, it's not always that cut n dry...some things take time, and sometimes you simply can't think about everything you'd like to do/attain all at once...so for me, these days, I like to think of them as
"Things I want to get done this year at bare minimum".
I'd like to say it's actually interesting writing down your NY reso's and looking at them a year later. I believe I carried out only ONE of my four completely, the others are work in progress...though I'm glad I got that far.
My reso's for 2010:
*I wanted to say "buy a chambered nautilus" but...not sure how much a big tank and everything else I'd need would cost, so that one's just on my eventual TO-DO list.
*Join a gym
....So over the last 6 months my girl and I have taken to walking, ever 2nd night we'll take an hour long walk over uphill/flat/downhill...it's not much but it's a lot more than nothing and I feel it's benefiting our overall health and fitness greatly.
I also lift dumbells at home and do a few situps here'n there.
Though, a gym just has more stuff, a more structured environment, and you're less inclined to slack off if you're paying for something I'd say.
*No more soda
Last year I cut down significantly, this year I'm done.
*No more smoking
Heh...for the first time in ages I puffed on a joint last night. This prompted the decision to add this one...see I've gone over pretty much completely to vapourisation and I have portable edibles for when I go out and feel like bringin' on some effects so I just do not need any smoking whatsoever, so it's another one gone from barely any, to none at all.
I live near a city...pollution and second hand will do enough shit to my lungs.
*Get my goddamn fucked up tooth pulled. Finally.
I even backed out of it last year 'cos I didn't wanna have it pulled while I was awake...been there, done that, and it's a fucked up experience no matter how much you "don't feel", so I got a referral to a place that's gonna gas me, and it'll be taken care of.
*Fix my nose.
Internal deviated septum.
It's been needed for years...effects my sleep, becomes more prone to blockage from little things, I've just been apprehensive as I've never been in for any kind of surgery before, and a septoplasty (read up folks) REALLY doesn't sound pleasant...so, to work myself up to this, I'll get the tooth done first, then that.
*Animal services.
Last but by no means least, to continue my companion animal services certification, join up, stay with course, get good results.
So that's mine.
On a side note, I'd have added "need new tv and current gen console" but they seemed a little materialistic. If I handle my budget correctly there's no reason I won't be able to get those things anyway.
So here's the thread...what are your NY reso's and why?
