New Year, New Start

It's that aweful time of year again - yes, the time of year when we tell ourselves that we will lose weight, eat right, and stress less. Well, I guess I just have to say that I'm another person setting those goals, however I feel that my goals may be attainable this year. Here's what I'm looking at for my new year's resolution:

Welcome to the New Year:
Goals for 2008

Goals: January 1st, 2008 – December 31st, 2008
1. Step outside the comfort zone.
a. Try something new. Run, hike, climb, snowboard, kayak. Eat Indian, Thai,
Ethiopian. Listen to jazz, country, classical, new age, folk, punk. Do something at least once a week.
b. Mix it up. Don’t fall into routine, but instead change little things (location to eat, study spots, routes to class) at least every two weeks.
2. Be grateful.
a. Keep a gratitude journal. Means of doing so doesn’t matter, however five positive things must be documented somehow every day.
b. Volunteer. Keep eyes open to the world around, and give heart to service.
3. Stay hungry for knowledge.
a. Be up to date. Watch the news, read the paper.
b. Read. Don’t know something? Go to the library. Want to know something new? Go to the library.
c. Take advantage of speakers at school.
d. Be active. Blog at least twice a week. Volunteer. Discuss.
4. Be healthy.
a. Eat right. Vegetables, fruit, and protein. Don’t miss out on any. Many small meals a day, and limit calorie intake.
b. Stay hydrated. At least one nalgene bottle of H2O a day!
c. SLEEP. No less than 6 hours, but no more than 9. Power naps are allowed!

I'm hoping that writing them down will help me attain the goals. Let's see what happens.

So here's to 2008! Le4t's make it a good year!
