As I began to think about the new year, and indeed the new decade, I came across a method that I hope stays for the new me. It is not that I need a new me, but really that I want to change things I am not all that happy about.
I began with my core values, those things that are important to me:
Integrity- My word is my deed. Also truth
Love- Love of myself, love of others, Romantic Love
Compassion- Which really to me means Love of others.
Community- I like to have people around me who share the same ideals.
Health- Living my life fully
Living Spiritually
Creativity- doing the fun things that feed me.
Knowing all that I looked at the specifics of how I personally express those values, then set my goals until the equinox. I choose the equinox because then it is not such a long goal and as such can go back and rededicate, or revise them at that time. They are as follows:
Exercise at least 5 days a week including Sword Fighting as part of that exercise.
As my home is where I get to relax and be myself, I intend to keep it clean on a regular basis
Cut out carbonation- Essentially already done.
Take my vitamins and pills regularly
Write and read daily as a spiritual Practice
Turn off the TV, Radio, Internet, Phone from time to time to have more real me time alone with my thoughts.
Camp, and Hike more- to restore my soul
Be conscious about what I eat eating only when I am hungry not just eating and snacking to snack.
Happy New Year!
