Calvin & Hobbes
As the new year approaches, many of us are taking some time to set some resolutions for ourselves. Some of us will actually achieve them or stick to them and others won’t. Regardless, it’s always important to better oneself while remaining both confident and secure in who you are.
I think some of the best resolutions are ones that are simple to achieve and remind us about the little things in life that can make us happy. The following are a few I came up with:
1. Make time for the people in our lives that matter. In the end, they’re the ones you can count on to get you through anything and make you happy.
2. Eat healthy and exercise. This is a common one and often hard. The goal is to make a self conscious decision to do so and simply try your best. It does not mean that you should punish yourself for eating chocolate or skipping a day at the gym. Don’t beat yourself up!
3. Treat yourself to the occasional spa treatment or a massage. We can help you pick a great package at SLS Spa. You deserve it!
4. Pick up a new hobby or learn a new craft (i.e. gardening, knitting). My personal favorite is scrapbooking. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve and can share what you’ve learned with your friends and family.
5. Do something you’ve never done before. It doesn’t have to be extreme but getting out of your element can teach you a lot about yourself and just might be one of the best things you’ve never done!
I know these aren’t groundbreaking ideas, but no one said that resolutions have to be. They just need to be something positive that you truly want. Feel free to share some of your own resolution ideas in the comments below and I wish you all a happy and healthy 2010!
