I would rather not have had a cheesy first of the year article for my column. As I have missed deadline already and I am stuck on tip 6 of my ‘The Manchester United Example‘ article, I’ll have to embarrass myself and s.h.a.r.e my New Year Resolutions with you.
Confession: I broke a few already.
10. Carry a lighter bag.
Why anyone would need this as a resolution might be beyond you, but you have not seen the bag I carried to work for the last few years. Well, carrying heavy things hurts your back so I’m sticking with a smaller bag. Or at least, three small bags.
9. No more rice nor bread.
Rice is the enemy. The juicy, always-available, easy-to-cook, easy-to-combine with a variety of other things enemy. This will be tough.
8. Let my nails grow
I doubt I will. I’ve been cutting my nails since primary school; I doubt I can break it. But if you never try…
7. Tosyn is CONtradiction
Tosyn. Hazel. CONtradiction. abisona. SPEECHgirl. NB.
How can one girl have so many personas? And the worst was speaking of CONtradiction like she was someone else. Oops! I did it again. No, I’m not pretending that Tosyn and CONtradiction are different people any longer.
(Now typing that was actually hard).
6. No half measures.
If I commit to something or someone this year, I intend to go all the way. No half measures, no ifs, buts nor thens. All or nothing. This means I will make mistakes. And that’s why I have also decided…
5. No regrets
None whatsoever. If I make a mistake, I will apologise. But I won’t agonise.
4. Always see the positives.
Also known as ‘stay grateful’. Instead of thinking of what I do want, I’ll appreciate what I get and have. That way, when I get what I do want, I will enjoy it better. I’m living on the sunny side of life folks.
3. 52 lunches
There are 52 weeks in the year and I intend to have lunch with at least one person (from work, a family member, off twitter, etc) every week. Why? To Be Continued…
2. Read daily.
I remember when all I ever did was read. Then twitter and life swung by and now I can barely finish a page of a book. So now, I’m going to read something daily.
1. No more cola
Did you laugh? I broke this already though. *sips*
