1. Really late nights -- I tend to stay up late anyway (in bed by 2am) but it's the nights that I really push it that I end up regretting the next day.
2. Anxiety -- Hoping to take some steps in 2011 which help with this part of my life.
3. Junk Food (in large quantities) -- I really need to treat my body better and stop feeding it junk as frequently as I do.
4. Procrastinating -- How is it that I've lived 25 years and not learned that procrastination is bad for me? I'll be better in 2011 and just do things when they come up.
5. Spam -- This seems simple but unsubscribing to emails will save me a lot of time.
6. More Blogs than I can read -- I get overwhelmed by too many blog posts to read and end up not reading any. This obviously needs to stop.
7. More Twitter followers than I can read -- See above. :)
8. Clutter -- I really want to focus on donating a lot of our stuff so that we don't have so much that we don't need/use.
9. Bare walls -- We've been living in our house since August and still have no pictures on the walls. Sheesh.
10. Distractions -- Why give in to distractions that don't help me when I could actually be getting something done instead? I need to learn how to distract myself with things that are fun by productive. :)
11. Excuses -- I need to stop saying I'll do something tomorrow and just do it. This mainly pertains to exercise. I need to just get up and do it. I know it will make me feel better so there is no excuse.
December 12 – Body Integration. This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn’t mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present?
Running, even though I didn't do it much at all it's definitely when I felt like I paying the most attention to what my body was telling me. And what it was telling me was that I need to do that more. I need to take care of myself more and find more ways to be active. Need. Need. Need to make this a priority this year. Like I said above... no excuses!
December 13 – Action. When it comes to aspirations, it’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen. What’s your next step?
Get on the treadmill. Go up to my craft room. Scrapbook a page. Take some photos. Make something. Go somewhere. Do something. Make the most of my time. Only be at my computer when I have something I really need to be doing or just before I go to sleep. There is no reason to procrastinate on Facebook or Twitter when I could be doing something else.
December 14 – Appreciate. What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it?
Jason. Plain and simple, I appreciate my husband more and more every day. Not only is he an amazing person who takes amazing care of me, but he genuinely wants me to be happy and is ALWAYS excited by what I do. He supports me and all my crazy ideas. And the best part is that really just scratches the surface of all the reasons I am grateful for him.
December 15 – 5 Minutes. Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010.
This will be more of a test of how fast my fingers can keep up with my brain as I type... here goes -- Oh boy did we have fun this past year. We definitely got some traveling in, saw some fun things, hung out with some cool people. We didn't visit home nearly as much as we would have wanted, but it was also hard to make that happen. I found a job and quit my job all this year. Surprisingly, I am very much ok with it and Jason couldn't be more supportive of my decision to do so. Doors closed and windows flew open and I couldn't be happier. We were in a bad situation in our apartment and ended up buying a house, which we love. We started volunteering and ended up with a dog. A lovable, cuddly, amazing dog who loves us almost as much as we love him. I am all about bringing more and more joy into our lives and he certainly does just that. He is a perfect fit for us. We got to welcome a lot of babies into our lives. Both friends and family members are now parents and we couldn't be happier for them. We love being able to share in the joy of their growing families. We are grateful to have friends and family who love us and who come to visit us even though we live all the way out in Minnesota. :) We love having visitors and showing them around. We love that they are all supportive of our decision to live far away from home. We are also grateful for the opportunity to visit home. 2010 was so so good to us and we are looking forward to more and more of the same in 2011.
