New Years Resolutions

Anonymous

Do you have any goals or resolutions for the new year?

For me it’s trying to find the strength to get through major family issues, and the possibility my Husband and I might have to rent out my parents house which would be a terrible situation on top of other issues already going on.

Also to stay healthy and take better care of myself and hopefully through everything try to find time to do some well deserved fun things over the months.

I'm not making any big long term plans this year. Instead I'm taking it all month by month, focusing on health/family/ career, and being grateful for what I have along the way.

For January, I'm going back to basics- drinking more water, eating more produce, and using the fitness equipment I have instead of buying new things. I'm cutting back to just 4 sports for January- dance, cycling, toning, and yoga.

DH and I are also helping our aging parents a lot, thank God they're all still with us! And I want to do more with my second job, public relations for a state program, which I love

Serenity and freedom are my intent for this year. My marriage is kind of a mess, my body is softer and weaker than I would like, and my credit card debt is scary. When I got clean (sober), I learned that I needed to focus on my recovery/sobriety; if I do that, then the rest kind of falls into place.
My marriage is salvageable, because we do love each other. My body is slowly getting stronger as I continue with physical therapy and my personal trainer. My credit card debt? Well, that will get a nice bomb dropped on it when I get my income tax return (which generally occurs around the time my Valentine's week paycheck deposits which means BIG payments can happen).
So, the only thing left to do is to take my arse to as many meetings as I can, and get to work with my sponsor so we can unpack some of my baggage.

To try and rally and buy a car. I dread the process. Where I live, I can make do without one and for the health of the world, public transport is best. At the same time though, it’s very very limiting.

One more: I’m gonna do it... I’m gonna stop wasting my time playing Spider Solitaire on my phone... I think... no, no, I’m gonna do it! I’m gonna stop!

My goals are :
go to Bodhi Yoga at least two times a week and to walk another two times a week.

plan a family trip to London in June ( I have started to to realize that I suffer from a lot of travel anxiety and fear of making plans is severely holding me back)
spend more quality time with my husband in the form of small weekends away.
to improve my relationship with my oldest son.
