Here's the thing with me and resolutions; I love dreaming them up and setting forth on accomplishing them. Always around my birthday and the new year I do it. I have really good intentions to start afresh or something like that, and I believe it's good for me to make goals. But then I get overwhelmed and feel pressured and I just don't want to do it anymore! It's kinda like being forced to do something when you really don't want to, so it makes you hate it even more.
That is why I have to just realize that I'm doing my best and to not beat myself up if I watch the news in the morning, because sometimes it's important to watch the news. It's all about moderation right? I actually feel very good about my resolution of less TV. Maybe I shouldn't be so strict with myself and actually be okay with watching the news and stuff like that.
I think I'm just feeling really unmotivated right now, and I just don't want to do anything, so my resolutions are just feeling like a huge burden for some reason.
I'll be better tomorrow.
I completely agree with you! Since I never seem to stick to my list of resolutions, I have only made 3 this year!
ReplyDelete1. Get a massage once a month: Yes it costs 70€ for 1 hour, but I can easily spend that every week on eating out.
2. Wash or get my windows wash: Embarrassed to say that I have been living there 6 years and not once have the exteriors been cleaned. There is a medium gray film on the outside...kinda acts like free curtains. Gross, I know. But it just got so outta hand...and now it just stresses me out!
3. Simplify: I am way too sentimental and have collected too much CRAP over the last 7 years in France. I found an half un-wrapped present from 2007 in my flat...a nice magnetic picture frame. So I need to either use it or lose it! I already have a useless mini-storage unit in Michigan for which i have spent $2,500 thus far, no need to turn my flat in Paris into another one!
I have only managed to work on number one thus far!
