"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres"
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

New Year's resolution

Merry Christmas! (Kind of late I know) or better yet Happy Holidays (since I missed Hanukkah and the Winter Solstice). Anyway, its few days before new year's eve and we will be in 2013 in a week! I am not much for new year's resolution because when I used to do them they were the generic "lose weight" ones that I never really kept. (and this was when I was actually thin-smh what was wrong with me I don't know); but I digress.
I want to do goals, attainable new year's resolutions because I am good at meeting my goals (to the point of tunnel vision but that's another story). So, with that in mind here is what I have come up with (I may add and/or delete before next Monday) but here's what I have so far and why:

1. Practice self-compassion ( I have to stop being so hard on myself and less depreciating. This will be the most difficult goal but I cannot continue with the way I am right now. I do not want my son growing up thinking its ok to beat oneself up.)
2. Don't scream at my husband (I suck at communicating my feelings so I keep things in and then blow up this actually applies to everyone that I should communicate my feelings more to but I put hubby because the poor guy gets the brunt of it and he's awesome for putting up with it).
3. Be "less humble." I need to be proud of my accomplishments and stop being "embarrassed" by them.

That's all I have for now, and I have to create action plans to so I can start practicing these goals, if anyone has any pointers by all means let me know. Also, let me know, what are your new year's resolutions for 2013?

  1. These are 3 very attainable and self improving goals for 2013. #1... I've known you for 6 almost 7 years (wow i just realized that) during these almost 7 years i got to know the great person you are... now all you have to do is realize this yourself! Your hubby knows this and I know that when your son grows up he will see this as well and will feel proud to have a mommy like you. I know that I`m lucky to have a friend like you.... and no i am not drunk! :) with that said you have come up with some great new years resolutions. i know you can achieve all of them!!

    My new years resolutions:
    Hmmmm hadn't really thought about any until now, you have inspired me to get out of the conventional resolution list like loosing weight...

    1. I need to fallow through with my decisions, goals etc... I always think about doing this and doing that but i never fallow through. then later i regret not doing so.

    2. I need to learn how to manage my time better. I`m sure there are some articles i can read to help me out with this issue of mine.

    I think this is it for now... what do you think?

    2. Ahhh its the 10th and i feel like my year has just started with being sick since the 30th. OK so resolutions will now be put to practice. I am working on my time management by making a daily to do list. ive noticed that when i have a list i get things done much more faster and it makes it hard to miss a task that i need to get done. And regarding #1 I am still working on it... being that I am a Libra i feel like this will take me changing my entire persona!! AHHHH : / but maybe that` not such a bad thing!
      Thanks for the support!! :)

      So how is it coming along so far with your resolutions??
