First off, I have never EVER made resolutions before so if these sound a bit too much, it's because I do HAVE high standards for myself, and secondly, I think I need some kind of list in "written" form.
Anyways, on with the list :::
[1] Health & Beauty
-Emotional Strenth=Physical Strength.
- 2006 was a rather emotional year for me ...I was so weak and gave my heart away too fast -and yet, i realized it was because I was only looking at from one side view... and not inputing what I saw and just took his view as the final say so. I shouldn't have done that. So, I think I will try to free myself from being avaricious with all the temptations and selfishness. I won't let myself down again... or when i do fall -and I usually fall hard and fast- I will get up again.
- And I have a bet with myself -to lose a pants size / -10~13 lbs (remain) (Ultimate Goal is to lose 25 lbs and remain that way) and to tone muscles this year. Wish me a good luck.
-Establish a regular workout routine (again). I've been severely lacking in the exercise department.
-Take multi-vitamins. I don't eat enough so I figure I should start doing that.
-And last, to try to have no more restless nights & insomnia problems... this one will be the hardest.
[2] Education & Career
-dreams are made not found...
-Currently, taking a semester break, but I should follow politics and news regularly. Laws are being updated as I write this.
-Devote at least three hours a week to LSAT.
-No more excuses for not having enough time to read... will start going to library again.
-I need to start dancing again. Looking for dance class ensues!
-Continue learning the following languages: Japanese and Russian. Also, review Latin and Greek. And actually use my Spanish skills more often.
-Find a new job that I both LIKE and ENJOY. I need to give up one of the three I already do... deciding which one is hard. I like working at all places.
[3] Financial
-Savings & Retirement
-Start saving and not dipping into account!
-Invest smart. Need to reevaluate stocks and see which stocks to keep/discard, and see what the yield is.
[4] People & Relationship
-Forgive & Forget.
-I've come to realize that every individual is different. so I should try not to have any expectations, doubts, and whatever else... I need to LEARN how to trust instincts. Respect isn't given freely. It is earned.
-I need to accept the unexpected things and events that happen in life ....people come and go in life. i can't always get away from trying not to get hurt... i've been putting myself on the edge of being too narrow-minded about people and relationships. And I've finally realized..maybe..i really dont have to see or judge like solid black and white..someone once said..don't be afraid to go out in the rain.
[5] Personal Enrichment
-Give the best gifts for yourself.
-I want to be a stronger person who believes, sees, listens and hear, and speaks with a more open-minded heart.
-I would like to think less;I'm going to try and set my mind and heart at peace.
-I should stop and smell the roses more... I need to appreciate what I have and not wish too much. I need to stop wishing and HOPE more.
-Travel: future destinations -- starting small, revisit the South. I miss Georgia. I'd like to go to Japan and tour Europe eventually. Who wants to come with?
And I think that's what I have right now. I'm sure I'll add/subtract from the list... Also, I need to just be me for awhile. Just be. And I need to remember to breathe. Breathe deeply.
