New Year musings
I normally love a resolution. Not just as I see in the New Year. Any time. And although I’ve read a million articles about setting goals and achieving goals and how they need to be specific and measurable, I’m ignoring that advice it often serves as another way to be cruel to ourselves if we fail. This year my aim is to be more aware. I’d like to get to Friday evenings without feeling like I’ve tripped and stumbled through the week and spend my weekends doing things that make me happy and help me grow.
I love my job despite the fact it can be stressful but I don’t want it to run my life. I’d like my things to run more smoothly but I’m not going to make any grand plan to keep my home perfectly clean and organised because it just causes me guilt.
I think the key is to become more aware. To know what’s coming up in the week or month ahead so I’m better prepared. There are few things as unpleasant as a deadline that feels like it’s appeared from nowhere. To be more aware of how I’m spending my time. To create special times more intentional special times with the people I love and quality time for myself.
