Revisiting old friends (i.e. resolutions made)

1.  Wake up early, even weekends:  Achieved some, still struggling other times.
2.  Read more, daily x 2: Ditto.
3.  Cook more, daily: Victory!  And it's easier now :)
4.  Paint more: Yes...but not in the same way I had in mind.  I paint more, but with my daughter!

Reflecting on why I was able to achieve #3:
   - Had a weekly blank note on fridge showing what I made every single day
   - This also kept track of what we ate as a family, how healthy, etc.
   - Can track how frequently we eat out as well.
   - Grocery shopping was definitely more frequent, even in smaller amounts, and took a lot more planning.
   - Had to involve my husband and even my baby sitter with meal planning.

So...I will likely succeed with all my goals/resolutions if I put in that much work for each of them.
Will basically have to break it down to actually doing it on a daily basis and keep an easily accessible record of what I did.



Dreams Revised:

1.  Wake up early...everyday.
2.  Read...daily.
3.  Meditate...daily...x5 :)
4.  Get physically active...daily x 30 min...at least.

Continue maintenance therapy:
- Cook daily
- Paint more (monthly x 1)
- Write more (monthly x 1)

Resolutions...


I never really make new year resolutions, but this year I made some very loose goals to improve my wellbeing:

1. Wake up earlier (everyday, including weekends).
2. Read more (daily, x2).
3. Cook more (daily...).
4. Paint more (monthly...?).

Hoping my goals will lead to other benefits like good health, knowledge and ultimately to happiness.
