Oh hey look--it's New Year's Day and time for resolutions. I once read an interview with Sting where he said that he was amazed his wife had stayed with him as long as she had because he tended to "live inside his head" the majority of the time. That rang so true to me--I have this whole life going on in my head that has nothing to do with reality, but I would really like for it to become reality. I'm actually not a big one on annual resolutions....it seems like a setup for failure--large outsize goals and then crashing failure when it doesn't happen. I think perhaps I am more of a daily resolve kind of gal. In that spirit, though, rather than set a specific goal, what I would like to do is make smaller changes, day by day, to ingrain new habits and make permanent life changes. Hopefully this will work better for me than Grand, Overarching Goals. So, here we go. This year, I will do or have:
- less planning, more doing
- less panic, more prayer
- less brinksmanship, more small consistencies
- less fear, more faith
- less bravado, more resolve
- less ass, more muscle
- less fake it, more make it
- less stuff. Just. Less. Stuff.
Don't just dream big--do big. Or do small until it becomes big. Just do.
