My 2011 New Year Resolutions list reads more like a to-do list. And there are some repeats from previous years. But I think I'm getting closer to finding out how to get and keep myself motivated. I have big plans for myself this year. Finish cleaning my Mom's apartment (already spent 200+ hrs on it, mainly papers I had to sort through). Think I know how to tackle and eliminate my bad habits. Got some other projects to start and/or finish. I'm already down 45 lbs from my max weight from not even a year ago, and only 7 from my goal. My car has been at the VW dealership for last 4 days, including over NYE, but that's okay, I wasn't alone. But note, I don't plan on putting myself on the market until my birthday in 3 months... I've got a few more self-improvement projects to get myself into the habit of.
Once all the little things fall into place, then it's time to tackle the big projects that aren't already close to their end. And make some time to spend with all those who mean something to me, as I will never forget anyone who has ever helped me along my way.
But needless to say, life is pretty decent. Yeah there's still bad stuff in my life, I just try not to focus on it, I'm working on this being more positive attitude which I finally realized was something I never truly understood how to actually "be". And in the process, I think I've sparked a little more positivity in the lives of the people I'm lucky enough to be able to make time to spend with. That self-evolution I've always dreamed of, is now becoming a reality. Maybe I've just matured with age, maybe I needed all the experiences I've been through to get me to this point, maybe it was my diet change,... whatever it is, it's working, and I'm proving myself right. And just feeling calm and unworried, almost rid of my road rage, just feeling better from head to toe, I like how this feels, and I wanna keep it.
