What is your new resoultion for 2014

[osho]

This is a usual question and yet it is interesting to know about each other's aspirations and dreams for life cannot go without dreams. Yest dreams are many and our realities restrict us to fulfill only some of them and of course I have a resolution to experience something different, unusual through books, through my interactions with some people or through travels of exotic places. I am planning to travel enormously and the lands I have in mind are not cities that depict a kind of uniformity and monotony and I want to visit villages, mountains and planes where old civilizations are still alive and people live in a different eon.

My resolution was going to be to meet one of my boyfriends, but they're all fictional so I would just be setting myself up for failure.

Faith, You need to realize how awesome you are! You need to start saying, "I'm fabulous until you fake it!"

[tonywalt]

To realise how awesome I am. (it's challenging)

My resolution is to not obsess over my weight and appearance. Kind of the opposite of the "get back in the gym" resolution most people typically have. I was hospitalized for bulimia recently. Bulimia is a nice bit of icing for my rotten cake of ill health which consists also of epilepsy, type 2 diabetes and chronic social anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder and a speech impediment, though the last one has been remedied by a herculean effort using acting and singing to overcome a stutter and tourettes.

I also resolve to move somewhere by the end of the year, be it the prairies or back east I don't care.

I don't really like resolutions cause I never keep them. I am just going to continue on the path I am and keep scheduling every step. My son made a resolution though, he is gonna work on his math, he hates math so I think it's a really good resolution for a seven year old.

Jeez, that is a lot to be faced with. I read recently that reframing anxiety as excitement can sometimes be helpful.

Good luck to your son! Such a little charmer. I dislike math, too. There is a beauty to it, I know, but the understanding of it has always eluded me, so I (nowadays) cordially dislike it.

I agree wholeheartedly with the whole no resolution bit.

[tonywalt]

I want to

[cacian]

my resolution is not to have one. It is the best I can think of right now.

[Buckthorn]

I have several this year:

- Learn to drive
- Get a new job
- Stop swearing (already broken this one)
- Drink less (highly unlikely I will achieve this)
- Lose the Christmas weight
- Find a boyfriend

I think learning to drive (my mother already paid for the 1st few lessons), getting a new job (I have declared that I have until March 26th to achieve this or I will quit and open a vegan shop) and losing the Christmas weight (I lost 14lb in the 5 weeks before Christmas so I can certainly lose the 18lb I gained over Christmas)

what is a casual olympian if I may ask?

Of course :-) . During the 2008 Olympics, Thomas Deakin released a range of T-shirts with "Casual Olympian" on (I think its meant to mean someone who does a lot of exercise for fun - I have 2 of these T-Shirts). I do large amounts of swimming (for example on Monday before work I swam 4 kilometres and this morning before work I did 3.5) so I used it as my title/description

What will it take? Is there an Awesomeness class you can graduate in?

I resolve to pay off my credit card and then purchase a flat screen digital tv so I can tune into local stations.

[Sancho]

Play more
Work less

[MANICHAEAN]

I don't look that far ahead.
Suffice to make it through the night.

You sound cool. I suppose I am a casual olympian as well. I do now a lot of swimming movements and it makes me feel good physically and emotionally. I was training for this olympics before my health went down-hill. I'm hoping to make the 2016 games but I still have not decided which events I'll make a go at it in.

[Clopin]

To wake up around 9 am instead of 1-3 pm like I do now, so far I am failing miserably.
To drink less coffee and eat more food.
To read 100 books with a strong swing to non fiction.
To advance myself towards becoming a welder or something before the year is out.
To make huge advances in my lifts and endurance, I haven't been working out much since I injured my knee.

Thanks, I hope your health improves and you can achieve your goals!

My resolution is to save energy and money with good energy saving techniques namely trying to be aware of unnecessary lights left on, and appliances left plugged-in or on standby.
