Early this morning I turned twenty-three years old! Every year, on this day, I make resolutions that most people make on January 1st, but I decided a long time ago to make them on MY new year (aka- my birthday)! So this Sunday Six, I will outline my goals for the new year:
1. Read more- Because I am in school, I already read a ton of material, but I want to read more for myself! I believe that one of the most effective ways to advance in any area of life is to read! This year I will plan on reading, for myself, for at least one hour per night.
2. Gain more control over my emotions- As you saw earlier this week here, I really let things get to me. I am an extremely emotional person, and it is always hindering my experiences. This year I want to take everything with a grain of salt, and not let small, and inconsequential things get the best of me.
3. Become more pragmatic- This year I will look more at the big picture of my life. I want to see my goals more clearly, and devise a plan to accomplish all that I want.
4. Rekindle old relationships and establish new ones- I have severely neglected many of my most precious relationships during the past few years. This year I will make a list of all of the people I yearn to reconnect with, and make plans to contact all of them. I also want to make new, lasting relationships, and instead of making excuses for not attending social events with potential friends, I will make attempts to arrange my schedule for more socializing.
5. Start an anti-aging routine- I knew that this was inevitable, but up until just now I never really thought about anti-aging. I think it is important for me to start using preventative measures instead of getting to the point where I will have to correct the damage that I had let happen. I am pretty good about wearing sunscreen, due to a skin cancer scare I had, but I need to wear it ALL the time. I also want to put lotion on more often, as well as being more careful with the skin around my eyes.
6. Have a love affair with my husband- I have an amazing relationship with Cole, but we would both being lying if we said that we never got lazy. We use excuses for not spending quality time together, such as "we are too busy," or "we are too tired," but we know that the most important relationship we have is the one we carry between the two of us. This year I will take extra steps to further my relationship with my amazing husband, and when people see us they will think the we just fell in love!
