New Year’s Resolutions 2012

  New Year's Resolutions

The end of the year brings a lot of holiday planning, parties and other get-togethers.  It's really a good time to take a few minutes out from all the confusion and think about what has been accomplished during the past year.  And more importantly to think about how we can improve our lives during the next year.  Here are some questions to help you think about New Year's resolutions.

1)     Are we satisfied about our general health?  What could we do to lead healthier lives in 2012?  A little more exercise, a little less fatty foods, skipping between meal snacks; consuming less alcohol--any of which could be turned into a resolution.

2)     How about our general appearance?  Do we dress appropriately for the occasion we are attending and our age?  What about our hair, nails, complexion?  Are we overweight? What resolution can we make that will help us improve our general appearance?

3)     How are we doing financially?  Are we saving enough, do we stick to a budget, are we investing wisely, are we in the right job, etc.? Any resolutions in these areas should give us a better picture at the end of 2012.

4)     Are we expanding our horizons through travel, reading books, attending classes or lectures?  What should we do next year to make us more informed and wiser?

5)     Is there enough joy or fun in our lives?  What have we done to reward ourselves this year that can be improved upon in '12? 

6)     Are we spiritually satisfied with our lives?  Is there some activity, such as meditation, attending services, charity or volunteer work or philosophical dialogue, which could make the nonmaterial side of life more complete more meaningful?
