It was about this time last year that I talked about not really liking New Year's Resolutions for obvious reasons - they don't stick. I guess I should say that I don't stick with them. It is not their fault. It is mine. I haven't planned, or I would give up and not get back on track. I have a plan that I will be implementing to make 2015 my best year yet.
These were the things I wanted to do in 2014:
So, how did I do?
1. Break a bad habit - I gave up coffee and soda; occasionally I may have a coffee or a soda, but it is not my 3-4 cups of each that I would have daily.
2. Learn a new skill - I think I am still working on this, but this goal setting that I have been doing has been a great new skill that I will continue to work on.
3. Do a good deed - I would like to think I have done this pretty regularly.
4. Visit a new place - I went to LA this year. I have been there before, but I didn't venture out of the hotel. This year I went out earlier and did some sightseeing with friends. Loved it!
5. Read a difficult book - Mission accomplished! I read The Fault in Our Stars which I knew would be challenging and difficult to read, but I made it through it, and I didn't cry as much as I thought I would!
6. Write something important - I keep journals, write stories, and I keep this blog. I think that somewhere along the way I have written something important - at least important to me.
7. Try a new food - I tried eating cleaner at times and more whole foods, less processed foods. During those times I tried lots of new recipes and foods. Some were delicious and some I could do without. Looking forward to trying new foods in 2015!
8. Do something good for someone who can not thank you - Wow! This is a hard one to document. I do feel like I could do better in this area. I have done nice things for others, and I don't expect to be thanked for them. However, I would like to be more giving.
9. Take an important risk - I think completing the Mini was my important risk. I was terrified of being picked up by the bus, but I didn't even see the bus! I completed 13.1 miles and this proved to me that I could do so much more than I give myself credit for.
How did you do? Did you complete the things you wanted to do in 2014? Have you set goals for 2015?
