It goes without saying what the keyword in this official definition is, but rather ironic because resolutions appear to be anything but firm among many of us at the start of a new calendar year. In my humble opinion, resolutions truly mean something to me. They are a symbol of starting anew, the beginning of a commitment for the year ahead. I've always like resolutions, and I commend myself for keeping them, for the most part.
Let me start by asking you what your resolution(s) is(are) for 2017. Workout more? Eat better? Find your soulmate? Do you even have resolutions? I'll admit, these are a pain in the ass and I'm certain people are sick of talking about them even before the first of the year. However, if you want to get ahead and maintain a healthy lifestyle, resolutions can work wonders.
That being said, here are my five resolutions for the year 2017 (please, for the love of God, let this year be less depressing than the last...)
- Write one hand-written letter a month
- Too often we get wrapped up in touching base with our loved ones via social media, and since I plain forgot what my penmenship looks like I thought 'what the hell?'
- Read one book a month
- Magazines won't count for me this year and I want to build off the amount of books I was able to finish last year (FIVE BIG ONES!)
- Write one blog a week (you're welcome)
- 'Nuff said.
- Become a certified spin instructor
- This could be a stretch, mainly because of the price tag of actually becoming certified combined with the lack of training classes offered in Maine. However, could be a fun night/weekend gig and could share my love of cycling with others.
- Develop a driven and intense attitude towards my career
- Yeah, about that...
Take these for what you will, let them motivate you, and attack 2017 head on. If you can't think of any on your own, use these more reasonable resolutions be your guide (and get a quick laugh while you're at it).
