Just like everyone, I start off the year with lofty
aspirations of what I can accomplish, setting goals that I will leave behind
before January even ends. Now I’m not going to claim that this year will be any
different, but I would like to try to make a change. By blogging about my goals,
I’m holding myself accountable and letting the whole world see my intentions.
Keep me on task!
Here are my goals:
1. Focus on my core and explore fitness
I’m content with how I look. I go through ups and downs of
body love and body shame but overall I’m proud of my appearance, and I’m not
going to ask for others’ permission to feel good about myself. However, I do
have one feature I would like to work on. Like many women, I wouldn’t mind a
tighter core. I work out regularly enough, but I intentionally avoid the areas
that challenge me rather than tackling trouble areas. Starting this year, I
want to flatten my belly, using muscle building techniques and doing yoga at
least once a week.
2. Have patience and understanding
While I’m not a pessimist, I may not always be the cheeriest
of my friends, a fact I would like to change somewhat. Rather than indulging in
fanciful discussions or listening to unreasonable arguments I often find myself
cutting people off and sharing the reality of the situation. Yes, it is important
to be realistic in life, but there is also no harm in being gentle and throwing
reason to the wind from time to time.
3. Pick a major
I’m in college, and come December of 2015, I will be 3/8ths
of my way through my undergraduate education. I need to get serious and explore
my options. Future me, at this point I’m considering a double major in PoliSci
and History of Art with a minor in Managerial Studies. We will see what I’m
thinking in 12 months.
4. Become a vegetarian (and be healthy)
I hardly eat anymore because I really don’t enjoy it all
that much. I’ve been toying with the idea of becoming a vegetarian for quite a
long time, and I figure a new year is a new opportunity to try again.
Just being a vegetarian does not mean I would be all that
healthy. So I’m tacking on the intention to eat healthy to continue with a
healthy lifestyle. By cutting out soda, reducing dairy intake, and cutting
desserts to once a week I know I will see a big change.
5. Do these things weekly:
-Blog
-Volunteer
-Explore a new place in town
6. Do these things daily:
-Write down one good thing that occurred
- Take a Photo a day
I’ll follow up on my progress with these throughout the
year, and give a find review at the end in 364 more days.
