New Year, New Approach to New Years Resolutions.
December 31st,
As you try to fit into a dress that doesn't fit and figure what to wear to the New Years Eve Party, you're probably thinking about how fast 2014 went by and about 2015.
Maybe you're thinking how it will be different, or how you will be different; and exercise, lose a few pounds, get more sleep, de-clutter and organize your work, house, life.
I know I do this every year and have varying degrees of regret and guilt that I haven't achieved more in the past 12 months. I vow this year will be better and I will exercise, lose weight, clean the house, cook from scratch, get more sleep. Same old resolutions every year.
So this year I'm thinking of taking a different approach; instead of the same old resolutions I'm going to try something new.
I'm going to commit to using my voice for good, and try to communicate in a meaningful way at least once a day.
- It might to write a letter or card to someone I know would appreciate it.
- Or a share on social media for someone who can use a helping hand.
- It might be sharing a picture of something beautiful I see just because it's beautiful and will make someone smile.
- Maybe it's to lend a stranger with car trouble my phone to call for help.
Maybe by switching my motivation for why I am doing something I will see a change in the end result. I certainly don't know if this will work, but I do know what I have been doing in the past isn't working.
I'm going to combine "communication" activities with my goals to exercise, lose weight, organize etc.
I could walk to mail the letter, or take a picture. I could organize and de-clutter items to donate to a cause I'm sharing about on social media. I could do something nice for someone else, which makes me feel good and motivated to keep going and get off my behind and achieve some of my resolutions.
This whole thing started when a friend offered to sponsor this giveaway. We are twitter friends and although I have never met him in person, I consider him to be a truly great friend. He made this offer to support my blog. Who does stuff like that?! Well if he can do this, why not me. This gesture motivated me to do something similar and give to someone else, and guess what?
WOW giving feels good!
Since my cell phone is one of the major ways in which I communicate, a giveaway for a phone seems like a perfect way to start the new year.
