Resolutions for 2010

Happy new year!  It seems to me that there is a serious amount of positive energy going into 2010, do you feel it too?  I just know that there are amazing moments ahead of us.  So it is time to scribble down our resolutions so that we can work towards being the best versions of ourselves.

And as I do love setting resolutions and the subsequent action plans on how I will reach them, here is what I am what I am going to be working on in 2010...

Be healthy and active.

• This is the year that I am going to shed that last 10 pounds.  No if, and, or but. 
• I will train for and run a marathon.  I have wanted to do this for at least six years and this year it is time.
• I will practice yoga on a regular basis.  I always feel amazing after yoga and it is time to make it a regular part of my life.

Declutter.

• Stop the continuous multi-tasking.  I need to declutter and focus on the moment, even the daily activity type of moments.  It will all get done but it doesn't need to be all at the same time.
• Organize my home and clear out the clutter.  It is time to toss, file, and get some baskets. 
• Stop watching mindless crap television programming.  If there isn't anything worthwhile on maybe it is a good time to read a book! :)

Pursue hobbies.

• I will take a photograph everyday... The 365 projects are always such an inspiration and I am really excited to do this project.
• Sew and craft more.
• Cook and bake all kinds of new recipes and then share on Two Cooks One Kitchen.
• Decide what to do about In This Instance.  The first year of this blog I was heavily into wedding planning and the second year I decided to just free form blog on whatever was catching my attention... But now I am feeling as though I want more focus with this blog. 

Love my career.

• It is time to figure out a long-term career plan.  What I want out of my professional life has evolved a lot in the past year.  I want to realign my career plan with one that I will feel good about, enjoy my day, and make a positive impact in some way.
• Be patient and don't sweat the small stuff. 

 This is going to be an awesome year, I just know it.

Great list. I hear you about yoga. I'm hoping to go more regularly too.

I really love this list - I could get behind every single item here! Adore that pencil image too, by the way. GO TEAM Positive Energy!

If you do the photograph every day project, post them! I'd love to do something like that, but I know I'm unlikely to follow through.

Thanks, ladies!

Julia, I am posting them in a set on flickr but will likely do a little montage on here once in a while.
