Sick of never meeting my goals each year, I resolve this year to make attainable goals and give myself permission to change them at any moment throughout the year. My current goals for 2010 consist of the following:
- Ask Chelsea Hightower to teach me how to hip hop Tabitha and Napolean style.
- Learn Spanish and speak it fluently
- Play the ukulele.
- Walk around the block.
- When passing my reflection, look myself in the eye, point both index fingers like a gun and say, "Hey, good lookin'!" Make clicking sound with tongue.
- Appreciate my body. It's given me a lot of good memories.
- Keep off additional weight.
- Enjoy what I eat.
- Celebrate what I deny.
- If not drink more water, look at it more. Maybe even talk to it.
- Smile more.
- Laugh more.
- Keep talking to myself even if someone is watching.
- Dance if I have an audience.
- Dance if I'm all alone.
- Thank God for something specific
- Surprise my husband with a kiss
- Forgive myself for having a bad day
- Remember that guilt is not a good guide
- Wrestle with my boys
- Play "Secret Agent," playdough, Monopoly, cowboys, beauty shop, or whatever sounds fun to a child at the moment.
- Give a standing ovation for a job well done, even if it is for putting the dishes in the sink after dinner.
- Apologize more
- Look at the tops of the mountains and trees and breathe deeply
- Appreciate my character lines. I paid dearly for some of them
- Sing more
- Hang out with my sisters and brother
- Talk to my parents more. Listen to them
- Listen to my children
- Talk to the dog. She won't talk back.
- Listen to silence.
- Record my children's funny and touching moments.
- Appreciate.
That's it. I'll start with #1. Chelsea, do you read my blog?
Call me.
Call me.
These are great! I love #30 - nor will she gossip.
ReplyDelete#5,6 and 25...if we could all just live like this.
These are great. I think I will "borrow" some of them!!
Thanks!
These all seem very reasonabble!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely.
ReplyDeleteRegarding #31. Where can I get this silence you speak of? There is an extreme shortage of it at our place.
Perhaps youcould use a meditation fountain-you could stare at the water all day long and in return it would babbly back to you, reminding you that 72oz of water a day is ideal.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!!! I miss SLC at Christmas.
On my list is "Give my friend her birthday present before her next birthday." When do you want to go out? Hopefully before November 2010.
ReplyDeleteI like #5, #6 and #18. What a fun list.
