Let’s start with the resolutions from last year which
I didn’t quite accomplished:
Drink more water
I’m doing
pretty good guys! I tend to forget about my water bottle sitting next to me on
my desk, but in January I managed to fill up my Camelbak (750ml / 25oz) twice a
day every day – YAY! I had to use the restroom every 10min though…
Stay active
2015
started good with lots of exercise such as running, yoga and biking. That only
lasted until August though. I don’t know why I stopped but that definitely
proved to be a bad bad bad decision (hello +4kg on my belly – OMG that’s like
being preggers and more!!!). Totally want to get into exercising again. Already
signed up for a yoga class.
The new ones:
Do more of what makes me happy (and not others)
I like to
make other people happy but sometimes I tend to forget about myself and my
needs. I want to do things I feel good about and I want to tell people without feeling
bad.
Learn a new language
I already
bought some Spanish study books and downloaded the “Intro Span” app to get a
basic vocabulary. My intensions are the right ones but it’s also hard to do the
studying by myself. There is a lot of self-discipline involved. Let’s see how
that goes...
Volunteer and give more to charity
A few of
my friends volunteered in Macedonia, Greece and Croatia and I find it so brave
and selfless! I donated money to them and to organizations they recommended to
me. And even though I did not work as a
volunteer just yet, I think every little help is needed. And as we all know:
money is not everything. Even an open mind, a smile, a conversation or a little
gesture such as sharing your food can have a huge impact on someone’s life. I
want to support those who do great things for humanity and I want to be a
better human. Big words I sincerely want to live up to.
The big ones aka life
goals aka dream on:
·
Carpooling with James Corden
·
Adopt a pet
·
Hiking a trail (Cheryl Strayed style)
·
Flying in a light aircraft (e.g. Cessna)
·
Save a life
·
Be role model for my (not unborn) children
·
Go skinny dipping on a beach
·
Living in a foreign country (kinda did that already
but I would like to live there for at least 2 years)
·
Set foot in all 7 continents
·
Get a photograph published
·
Dance a whole choreography
I could go on forever
but who has time for that. Instead, let’s start with one of the above!
