new year's resolutions

I obviously haven't written in a long time, mostly due to being too busy with school, a new relationship, and finally starting to manage my own finances. Last year was pretty crazy, I'm glad it's over and am excited about the new year. I've always enjoyed making new year's resolutions and this year I thought maybe making them more official, by writing them out on this blog, might be a better reminder for me. So here goes...


1. I want to be healthier by exercising more. For the first three months of the year, I want to workout at least twice a week. For now, this will probably consist of my doing a night of yoga, either at home or at a studio, and going to the gym at school at least once a week.

2. I also want to be healthier in my diet. My overall lack of time led to eating not so healthy foods and I think that's at least one of the reasons why I had frequent ailments last year. I don't really have any concrete goals for this one.

3. I want to be more conscious of my work, my personal relationships, and my life, and where everything is going. My plan is to reflect daily, and keep a two-three line journal and write in it at the end of each day .

4. I want to be a more effective producer, not a consumer. I'm planning on scheduling in a good chunk of hours for knitting, sewing, maybe even fancy cooking, every weekend. As before, I want to use what I have and decrease my stashes, not increase.


I think these should be a good start, a big happy new year and good luck to anyone who's reading this!
