I'm not usually one to make resolutions for the coming new year, but 2013 was a year of a bunch of changes, so why not try and make some more for the new year as well?
I'm also not gonna make some outlandish goals for myself, either. Just a few (hopefully) attainable ones that I won't flake out on achieving.
1- Get in shape: This one is self-explanatory, really. I'm tired of feeling like a schlub, so I want to change that about myself. I've already started a little, and hopefully I'll be able to keep it up during the coming year.
2- Stop living like a hermit: I've been leading a pretty sedentary life until now, but I'm getting pretty tired of it, as well. In the coming year, I hope to at least be a little more outgoing and not so isolated as I have been in the past. Not just in the real world either, so I apologize in advance (and retroactively, for that matter) for my poor communication skills. No matter how much I try I notice something off in just about everything I write, but I'm going to try harder to stop thinking like that and just go with the flow.
3- Read more: I used to be a pretty avid reader, but I've really fallen behind in the last two years or so. I've lost count of how many books I've picked up and haven't gotten around to actually read through. While I'm almost sure this is something that's going to take more than one year to wrap up, but I'll be fine if I manage to take a sizable chunk out of my backlog.
4- Fix my laptop: Ever since I had my laptop wiped after getting hit by a virus earlier this year, my laptop's been having this odd problem where the screen freezes whenever I have a browser active (and only when one's active, which is just odd). It's not too much of a problem, but it's annoying and I'm reaching my limit of tolerance for it happening.
Ok, I sincerly hope anyone reading this has a fantastic 2014, bye.
P.S. Even if you haven't, I hope you have one anyway.
I tend to avoid new years resolutions since in my case I usually set myself up to fail. There are some things I would like to do to get my life in order but I won't say them out loud. That way if I actually do any of them I will be pleasantly surprised and if I don't then no one will say "but I thought you were going to....." LOL
Hope you have a great 2014 too.
I know what you mean, that's usually the reason I had against making them in the past. I'm just trying it out this year, and if it doesn't work out that's fine, but at least I can be satisfied with trying.
I got in shape this past year, but now I do feel like I need to get back in the habit after the holidays. Things that helped me are Noom Coach (Android app), ZuzkaLight, DavidtsFitness (Youtube trainers), and my friends used myfitnesspal.com when they were dieting for a competition, if you want to check that out.
I still live like a bit of a hermit, but I do enjoy getting out. Only problem is I like getting out mainly to eat and spend money. lol
I still haven't finished Mockingjay, which is the one book I said I would read and finish this year, so I am right there with you as far as needing to read more books. My excuse is all the reading I had to do for graduate school.
And I bought a new laptop this year, an ASUS K55N-DB81 that was on sale this summer on newegg.com. I'd recommend them for deals on laptops; of course, you may have already heard of them, since they are a fairly popular name, but I hadn't used them before my purchase or since, so just in case, I figured I'd give that information to you.
I hope you have a happy new year as well, and hope you have a good time achieving all your goals!
Thanks for all the helpful info! I'm really not interested in picking up a new laptop any time soon, but my brother is. I'll try to remember to run it by him later.
i'm going to try for electronic cigarettes this year instead of the regular ones. that's my meager resolution.....
Well, it's something at least, good luck!
