I Resolve To® . . . Maintain Constant, Patient, Persistent Devotion To My Dreams! - Day 66

Quitting is not one of my habits, thankfully.  I am stubbornly, doggedly persistent about pursuing my dreams even when it (sometimes) takes years to bring them to full bloom.  I think the key to my own personal brand of success, which works for me, is to 'do what I love and love what I do'.  It is a thread that has been woven through my pursuits since my early teen years.  Finding something that you love to do in life - whether for work (the best alternative), or as hobbies (also a fabulous, fulfilling source of joy) is one key to having a happy, rewarding life.  Writing and photography are passions that I discovered early on and I can't imagine life without them.  Another equally important key to success is to kick doubt and fear to the curb and embrace failure.  At the end of the day, failure can launch you toward success if you learn your lessons and move forward with optimism and patience.  I am willing to fall flat on my face if it means I eventually will reach my dreams, or achieve even a small portion of my goals.

I intend to 'Remember You Only Fail If You Quit', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.

I Resolve To® . . . Patiently Work Toward My Dreams One Small Step At A Time, One Day At A Time! - Day 64

On a regular basis - typically each morning, but once each week at a minimum - I review my action plans for dreams and resolutions.  As a lifelong writer and journaler this is actually a process that I love.  My journals, spiral notebooks, wall calendars, and daybook calendars serve as wonderful tools in my effort to record and track progress, and in turn celebrate hard won victories that are made possible via small daily steps.  When I am feeling overwhelmed, or frustrated that my progress is too slow, I pull out my journals and calendars and review the progress.  Even when progress is moving at a snail's pace, at the end of each year always have a list of achievements about which I am very proud.  Keeping one's focus and keeping things in perspective are key to this small daily step approach.

With this strategy in mind, I intend to 'Trust Small Daily Steps Add Up To Big Victories Over Time', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.

I Resolve To® . . . Avoid Getting Into A Rut By Adding Variety To My Daily Routine! - Day 63

It is so easy to get into a rut, especially after a long, hard winter.  That rut can present itself at home, at work, at school . . . in virtually any, or all parts of one's life.  Sometimes the easiest fixes are simple and free.  When I am feeling a bit stale, blue, or overwhelmed, I change the channel and insert some new scenery in my life.  Long walks in my favorite neighborhoods and state/federal parks are a frequent source of inspiration and increased mindfulness because I can let my mind wander and do a little 'walking meditation' (to relax, refresh and calm the noise in my head - focusing on breathing is such a brilliant, but simple tool). 

Sometimes the easiest fix for a slump is to insert variety via small adventures into my daily routine - spice things up a bit in a fun non-stressful way.  With that in mind, I intend to 'Try New Routes To Work And Errands For Work And Fun', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.

I Resolve To® . . . Give Genuinely From The Heart, Small Gestures Mean So Much! - Day 62

When was the last time you did something special for your spouse, kids, Mom, Dad, siblings, in laws, or best friend?  No special occasion required, just a small, kind gesture out of the blue that said "I care . . ."  As part of my effort to be more mindful of my daily actions and reactions, I am striving to be kinder and nicer to loved ones.  Alas, crabby moments do rear their ugly little heads - it is not possible to be perfectly cheerful and happy 24-7, but I do my best to limit cranky episodes, and I am working a little harder to offer simple, sincere gestures that show a genuine sense of affection.  There are so many possibilities - for instance, offering to run an errand, take care of the kids, pick up the dry cleaning, do the grocery shopping, give a small gift of flowers, suggest a surprise dinner date . . . you get the picture, whatever would please loved ones.

If you have been ignoring your resolution to exercise, Spring and its' sunshine, warmer temperatures and bursting blooms, provides a second chance.  Don't give up, instead consider carving out small bits of time (10-15-30 minutes) during the day to walk, stretch, lift free weights, do Yoga, or engage in your favorite form of exercise.  If you don't have 'hours' to devote' and lack the cash to hire a personal trainer, or join a gym, there are a variety of ways to 'get moving' - ranging from gardening, biking, swimming, and tennis, to volley ball and soft ball.  Choose something that you enjoy that is fun - it will promote motivation and momentum!

I Resolve To® . . . Tackle 'Must Do's' First Thing In My Day! - Day 50

Like most folks I procrastinate at times, particularly with projects that I don't enjoy.  When I drag my heels, however, it promotes stress and worry about projects that I will end up doing eventually anyway.  In an effort to improve my productivity and reduce stress, I am simply diving in on those projects that are distasteful.  Typically I find that they are quickly completed and I am much happier thanks to the effort.  I also have learned that I am much more productive and less 'stressed-out' when I do my 'must do' projects first thing in my day.  

In keeping with that, I intend to 'Do Priority Projects Early In The Day', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.

I Resolve To® . . . Tackle House Cleaning & Organizing One Project, One Day At A Time! - Day 44

Since the Fall of 2008, I have made a daily effort to organize, de-clutter and clean my house and office via small steps (i.e. small daily projects).  I actually enjoy cleaning and organizing, but fell behind in 2008 and experienced intense frustration.  I made a vow a that time to get caught up and stay on top my cleaning/organizing and I have made good on that promise.  I also am continuing my tradition of major house cleanings each season of the year and just before the New Year.

This photo says it all.  Whether you love winter, or despise it - personally, I am a warm-weather gal who is trying to make the most of this record-setting snow year - you have to admire nature's beauty under a lily-white blanket of snow.  I am even trying to make the most of the snow days by shoveling for exercise and making good use of 'found time' when work is canceled due to dangerous roads.  It is a glass half full approach that is working for me more often than not.

Okay I admit I am getting somewhat punchy and feeling a bit of cabin fever.  After all, it has been a record-setting snow year.  It has been snowing off and on since late November.  I got snowed in during Christmas, endured several days without electricity during two major (recent snow storms) and I have huge piles of snow all around my property (I'm praying that my shrubs and trees will survive!).  It has been a loooong winter for this warm-weather gal, but I am hanging in there.   I am working in three-mile walks on moderate-weather days and I am shoveling snow, regularly, out of a dual desire to exercise and literally 'clear the decks' on my property. 

With that in mind, I intend to 'Get Plenty Of Fresh Air & Exercise On Snow Days', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.

Remember:  I Resolve To . . . Achieve My New Year Resolutions, One Resolution, One Day At A Time For One Year.  It's your choice.  Do it today. Turn your resolution into reality in five simple, common sense steps:  Dare To Dream, Decide, Define, Develop A Plan, and Do It Daily. Make your resolution a permanent Lifetime Resolution, something that's with you for good!  Above all, Be A Resolutionista, someone who makes resolutions, keeps resolutions, and enjoys the journey!  Let's Go For It!

Things don't always go as planned and life certainly tosses roadblocks and speed bumps underneath continued progress . . .

I Resolve To® . . . Enjoy My Weekend Despite Inconveniences! - Day 37

Let it snow, let it snow!  Okay, that is typically not my line.  I am definitely a Spring-Summer-Fall kind of gal, but rather than have a horrible weekend, I made a firm decision on Friday (ahead of the storm) to make the best of the snow storm even if forced to bundle up and hunker down during power outages, cancelled plans and chill temperatures.  A glass-half-full attitude will allow me to nap, snuggle, relax, read, and watch movies until the batteries run out on my portable DVD player this weekend.  Snapping a few photos to preserve memories of record-setting snowfall (as much as 30+ inches!) is also on my 'To Do List'. 

I intend to 'Embrace Snow Days', (since they are becoming the norm this winter), as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.

I Resolve To® . . . Play My Guitar For Fun & A Bit Of Nostalgia! - Day 35

Did you learn to play an instrument as a child?  I was fortunate that my grandfather took an interest in my desire to learn to play the guitar and faithfully drove me to lessons on Friday evenings.  He bought my instruments and stoked my curiosity and love of learning.  A few years ago, I brought my guitars home to Virginia following a visit with my family in the Midwest.  They had been carefully stored in my bedroom closet and were just as I left them so many years ago.  Now that I have them with me again, I periodically pull them out to strum a few chords - especially now that I'm doing The Artist's Way program (again, for the umpteenth time), and I am faithfully doing weekly 'Artist Dates', i.e. playful activities that nurture my inner artist.  I am pretty rusty with chords and reading music, but would love to improve my skills in weeks and months to come.

With that in mind, I intend to 'Spend Time With An Old Friend', my childhood guitar, as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.

I Resolve To® . . . . Build Vitamins Into My Daily Routine! - Day 33

Adequate sleep, good nutrition, exercise, relaxation, and a bit of fun are high on my list of daily priorities.  That means that vitamins are part of the mix.  Some folks have a problem remembering to floss.  Flossing, thankfully, is a trusted habit, but I often forget my vitamins, so I am taking steps to make sure they are a fulfilled 'Daily Resolve' deserving of a foil star on my wall calendar.  One easy strategy is to take them in the morning with breakfast.  I stretch and work out with free weights in the morning, so it makes sense to make vitamins a morning habit.  Putting them where I can see them in the kitchen also helps.  These common sense steps seem to be paying off - my last blood test showed that my Vitamin D levels are increasing, so I plan to continue with small, proactive strategies that will keep health and happiness resolutions front and center.  They do pay off over the long haul!  

I intend to 'Take My Vitamins First Thing In The Morning', as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.  To see my personal 'Health & Happiness Tapestry', click through my 2009-2010 Photo-Resolutions, each one documents my journey toward greater health and happiness!  Resolve365 in 2010.
