New Year's Resolutions for 2009!

What are some of your New Year's Resolutions for 2009?

Mine is to better myself!

To finally start a diet and exercise program to help me get down to a healthy weight. My dad died at 68 from a heart attack so I have risk factors. I figure it's also about time I start taking care of my physical health the way that I've spent the last couple of years focussing on my mental health.

A girlfriend and I are both going to start the South Beach Diet early in the new year and be motivation for each other. We both want to want to lose a similar amount of wieght so it should be good to have support.

I also have given myself a harp goal. i do much better with goals. I want to have an hours worth of music up to performance standard so that I can play at next year's AA Christmas day drop in. This will give me real motivation to get over my emotional hang ups about playing and give me motivation to practice.

1. To be happy. I want that more than anything.
2. To start eating 1600 calories a day. I know it's a long-shot, since I don't even eat half that much... but I can try.
3. To start cleaning my house more.
4. To quit smoking.
5. To finish college without dropping out like I want to. I want to just lay in bed under the covers all day.
6. To get past all of my emotional issues to the point where I can recognize who I am anymore.


Good luck to everyone with their resolutions.

1. To quit smoking
2. To finish the 2 books I got to work on. I got the book Your Best Life Now 7 steps to LIving at your Full Potential by Joel Osteen..I also have the Journal that goes with it and I also have Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer...I also have the workbook that goes with that. I plan on working through both of them this year to hopefully get control of my thought patterns and better myself.

Hmm what comes to mind immediately is to not fall prey to the Christmas frenzy next year.

1. To clean the cat litter boxes more frequently. (I'm very serious. I thought of this earlier today and decided it would be my New Year's resolution. My kitties deserve better.)

2. To spend more time reading about stuff I want to learn about (and therefore less time surfing the Internet).

I am setting my standards very low this year, my only resolution is to finish one book this coming year, I have gotten away from reading lately and it is a relaxing activity for me.

I would like to do the following:

1. Become a better person
2. Work on my image aswell as the way i see myself.
3. start on a diet and become healthier as well as work out.
4. Have more fun and start to do things more for myself.
   
   
   HAPPY 2009!!!

My resolution is to finally give up these blasted cigarettes. I have another but it's fairly personal...all I wish to say is that I have set a major goal in my life and I plan to achieve it by years end.

ME TOO! I am terrible for forgetting and then i get meowed at and have a present dropped in the front doorway.

My other NYE trial is to cut back on smoking and quit as of Jan 31st. So Im giving myself a month to quit.

To enjoy the people in my life more and to not sweat the small stuff as much.

1. do not make any New Year's resolutions...they last about 3 days anyway

2. assume 2009 will be just like 2008....work,stress,no money,depression, therapy
endless hours surfing the internet, no exercise, lack of motivation, channel surfing
fighting with wife, raising 4 year old, business woes, drought, famine, world chaos

I don't really "do" resolutions...BUT,I do want to try to spend more time with my 6 year old. His 8 year old brother with autism has consumed so much of my time and attention for all 6 years of his life. My 8 y/o will just be who he is,and that's fine. 6 y/0 needs more of me.

((((((((((((((((((((brian))))))))))))))))))))))

I hope 2009 is happier than that for you.

Mine are
- to be more positive
- to get myself out of the house everyday

1. To go back to university and study applied physics. I always wanted to study physics, but somehow ended up with a financial analysis diploma.
2. Realistic resolution: to wash dishes every day, lol

to get up in the morning, genuine A.M., go to bed by 1 or in the worst case 2.
to do what i want and not do what i don't want.

I do not make new years resolutions because I rarely stick with them. I just hope somehow the year can be better.

The same as the last two years.

1. umm.. to let go of old projects and do more downsizing
Thats a fancy way of saying my apartment is quite a cluttered shambles

2. To go out on a date . July 4th will be 12 years.
I got a hug Christams Eve said no to a kiss. so thats getting closer
but he didn't ask for my last name or phone number.

3. Figure out why # 2 is happening to

4. Start carrying buisness cards in my glove compartment so
I won't have these one night hugs happen ever again.

1. to stop self injury

2. express my self and feelings better

3. talk to my therapist

4. do well in all classes

5. get a 4.0 GPA i can do it it may mean being here less though.

good luck for this new year everyone

Overall peace of mind, stability,living a healthier lifestyle and being a better mom. I think this would be a great resolution for life!

Mine is to look better in jeans by getting more exercise.

I am making three resolutions.

Study journal articles and books to get me current with changes in treatment and teach ACLS classes (cardiac arrest management) to nurses, paramedics and doctors

Maybe teach some paramedic or EMT classes.

Lose thirty pounds so that I will fit back in all the cute clothes I bought when I was a size smaller.

bump How did you do?
