Hello there -
Welcome to my blog! I hope that throughout my journey of creating a blog you get to enjoy it and maybe learn something. I have a few new year's resolution and while creating my first blog is not on it, it is a great start for me to track my progress as well as share my adventures.
2014 Resolutions
1. Build stronger relationships with my friends and family.
I included this one because although I have been friends with the same core group since middle school I tend to let life get in the way and do not keep in touch as much as I like. The way I'm going to change this is to incorporate something I saw from another blog about how to keep your home happy and it was simply to call a friend or family member every day. I am NOT a big phone person at all but I really think this is important for me to stay close to my old friends, new friends, and family by reaching out on more of a regular basis to enhance our relationships.
2. Set my 'practice' / intention every morning.
This one comes from my yoga roots. At the start of every class in yoga the instructor usually asks you to set your intentions for your practice - what is it that you want out of that yoga class - is it to be healthy - is it to relax - is it to take time to mentally reach out to someone else. I believe doing this each morning will help me remind me what is important in my life and to be a better person each day. I was lucky enough to get a book called A Year of Living Your Yoga for Christmas which is a great book that includes day by day intentions and ways to achieve it.
Jan 1 - Living well is not about being calm; it is about being present.
Living Your Yoga - For five minutes today, practice just being present with your emotions without reacting to them. Notice how they come and go.
This is a great one for me because I am always quick to react and use to consistently think I was unhappy because of this or that but when I started to let my unhappy, angry, jealous thoughts go I realized that I can make myself happy which has truly bettered my relationships.
I plan on sharing various intentions from the book throughout the year that I find help.
3. Set and keep fitness goals.
Pretty vague huh? Well I'm a pretty active person and have been for many years but I never seem to keep the fitness challenges I start. I want to finish the Couch to 5k this year as well as some other challenges I've found online. The first one will be the 30 Day Butt Challenge. Will keep you on the loop on that one!
So overall simple, straightforward, obtainable goals that I think will improve my health mentally and physically during 2014.
Besides my resolutions I will also be sharing my life as I try new recipes, go hunting with my boyfriend, help fix up a house, start a new job traveling, etc. I want to share my experiences with you and maybe we will both learn something! Enjoy and don't hesitate to reach out!
