All right, here we go. It is time to make those New Year Resolutions. Usually it is something like loose weight, eat right, and so on. You know the "generic" resolutions. Well this year I have really given this some deep and personal thought. I wanted my resolutions to mean something. To help improve my life, not just bandaide it. Ever since I had that graveyard shift job, I have never gotten back into the good sleep patterns. I also have been lax in my exercises. I had this major life altering surgery...I don't want to end up like so many I have met where they loose the weight, and then over the next few years gain it all back and then some. What a total waste. I also want to be a better mom, and so some of these are to help with that area. I also feel stressed a lot, and I am thinking that some of my bad habits attribute to that. See I told you I have really thought about this. If any of you Email me, please feel free to keep me in check, and ask me about my progress. I really need to be held accountable for these things. Otherwise I feel that I will spiral further out of control, and be even more unhappy. I keep saying "When Will graduates things will be better". Yes that is true of the financial end of things, but if I am not happy in other areas, what makes me think that money will solve anything. Wow you wanted the truth, you got it!! So without further adieu, here is my list.
1. I will go to bed by 10pm. ( this one will be hard, especially since on Monday, Tuesday and Wed I have school classes till 9pm)
2. I will get up by 7am. (This one is also massively hard, since anyone who knows me knows that I HATE mornings)
3. I will exercises every morning for 45 min. (I found that if I waited till evening I was too tired, and then would make excuses. I'm hoping this will wake me up more for the day.)
4. I will try my hardest not to yell at my children. (Yes this is my dirty little secret..I yell at my kids and I'm NOT PROUD!!)
5. I will put on makeup and do my hair every day. (Usually I would do the "bambam" look as my husband calls it, and go without makeup. I read somewhere that if you look good, you feel good. I hope this works)
6. I will only use the computer after the kids are in bed. (This one will be hard, since I have a school Major that requires a LOT of computer work, but then again, my kids are my first priority)
7. I will not over promise or over extend myself. (Too many times I do this with church callings and school promises. I need to simplify my life, and be more with my kids, instead of rushing to places.)
8. I will say my personal prayers every night. ( I have been lax on this. My Bad)
9. I will avoid all caffeine. (I feel that this contributes to my lack of good sleep, and my bad moods.)
10. I will read my scriptures daily and finally read the entire Book of Mormon. (It is so sad that at age 33 I still have yet to read the entire Book of Mormon.)
See all these things you didn't know about me. All my bad secrets. Well it is a new year, and I am looking forward to the New ME!!
A blog about my family, my life, my designs, about who I am. Mostly a blog about Second Chances and the wonderful things that come from that.
