The Resolution Revolution
Wednesday, January 2, 2008
I hate resolutions. How much can change in one day, honestly? Do resolutions ever last longer than March? ...Well, in thinking about my loathing for them I started thinking about what I would resolute if I didn't hate resolutions and here is what I came up with:
- Fight the curiosity to watch American Idol this season (it is a time-sucker and I know this!)
- Read more books, play less tetris
- Be more like Mary Bailey
- Write more thank you notes to all the nice people in my life that do nice things for me (which are many)
- Don't get too anxious about the future - everything is going to work out... I think...
- Sit in my parents massage chair at least 3 times a week
- Find new recipes & use the crock pot more
- Listen harder when people (aka Scott) talk to me when I'm on the computer (I don't know what happens but for some reason my hearing functions completely disappear when I am concentrating while on the computer. People could be talking to me for minutes and I just tune it out on accident).
Watch more Sarah Silverman, Flight of the Concords, & Curb Your Enthusiasm- Pray that the writer strike will end
- Say my prayers altogether more
- Write a thank you to my parents for having DVR on all the TV's in the house
- Find out who invented Tivo/DVR and send them a thank you note (since moving home it has rocked my world of TV watching)
- Be more diligent in reading all my assigned text books
- Fight the "I want ___ (fill in the blank)" mentality - this only leads to me to self-loathing and an unnecessary sense of consumerism. Remember: I have everything I need.
- Learn more vocabulary words
- Love bigger
...and many more... I have a lot to improve on this year...
if I were to make resolutions, that is...
