“None of this ‘new year, new me’ bollocks. Last year I was fabulous, and next year I will be fabulous!” – Patsy Stone, Absolutely Fabulous
As you can see, I did start to jot down a few worthy resolutions and then the above quote sprang to mind. I think I’ll follow Patsy’s advice. Many of these resolutions imply that I am not up to scratch, need fixing somehow. And some of them would set me up to fail (marathon running – really?).
As for dry January… how is a girl to survive menopause without a little drinky? I’m going for dry Ginuary. After all, it would be rude to not try out some of my Christmas presents!
As an alternative to resolutions, I am using my Daily Greatness Yoga Journal to help me set realistic personal goals in three-month, bite-sized chunks.
- Book time in my diary to write and protect it from intrusions (especially the pup!)
- Book surprise date nights one a month (My booking, my choice!)
- Take my bicycle out for a spin (It hasn’t seen the light of day for a year!)
- Prepare my greenhouse for the sowing season (I like growing veggies)
- Daily yoga
- Daily meditation
What resolutions/goals are you going for this year?
2. I’ll post the daily prompts at 2am my time (GMT -5), every day except for Saturday’s Stream of Consciousness (SoCS) prompt–you’ll find that one on Friday morning at 9:30am. That daily post (i.e. this one) will be where you leave your link for others to find in the comment section. There will be a prompt for every day except Wednesday, when the prompt is simply my One-Liner Wednesday.
2a. Since today is Wednesday, I challenge you to make your JusJoJan post a one-liner. If you don’t care to, or if you’ve already written your post, no problem. Remember, with One-Liner Wednesday you can write anything – it’s only a prompt to write one line, not necessarily to keep to the same theme as mine. The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
(i) Make it one sentence.
(ii) Make it either funny or inspirational.
(iii) Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
(iv) Enjoy yourself!
(v) Use our One-Liner Wednesday badge.

It sounds to me like you have a general handle on your health and well-being, but might need to tweak your routine a little. Thanks for mentioning your journal. I had totally forgotten about the one I received as a gift two months ago. Need to catch up!
PS: Adult refreshment is always fine when used responsibly! 😉

You’re right. I do need to shake up the routine. Trouble is, I’ve had really painful heels since hubby and I did the epic flooring job last year… makes ’em a little painful to walk on sometimes. That said, I think taking my bike out would solve the foot problem and add something new for exercise. Have fun with your journal!
I wonder how far I have to pedal to make room for a little ‘refreshment’?

I feel your pain. Really, I do. I’ve had plantar fasciitis in my right foot since the end of July and I’m still working to make it go away. I haven’t been able to go for long walks since. The bike was my saviour up until the cold weather hit, so now I hop on the one at the gym. Biking doesn’t seem to bother my foot, so it may work for you. Cheers!

I was planning on going out today but the weather is not playing nicely… we have a storm blowing through at the moment – one of those tree-breaking storms. Pup and I will go squelching through the mud instead. That’s a good leg workout!

good luck with your goals, even a little every day will become a habit and you’ll feel weird when you can’t do it after a while
