New Years Resolutions 2014

Finally got this one in on time! Looks like some old and new resolutions will be going on this list, hopefully the repeats will end. So here we go...

• Get back on track with eating better and make exercise a part of my daily routine. Over and over I've made weight loss and getting healthy a resolution, and the problem (or excuse) that I had is that if certain things such as not eating healthy while on vacation, or missing a few days of exercise, then I fall off the wagon. But clearly the problem is that I have used that as an excuse to give up. So this time if these things happen, I will start all over until it is part of the routine again.
• Laugh instead of getting angry. I really don't like getting mad over petty things such as teasing and jokes. I also need to think before I react or speak. I do not want to stick my foot in my mouth after saying stupid things as a reply to requests, comments, or opinions.
• Pick up the drawing pencils, a paintbrush, or a tablet and start doing art again. Even if I can't think of what to draw, just draw anything you see.
• Get more of my fan fiction writing done by using any spare time I have, even if I only have time to write one line, it's better than none.
• Get prepared for moving out by changing habits such as shopping by buying necessities first before the wants. But stock up on items I won't be able to afford when living on my own. Also start an emergency fund so that I will be prepared for those occasions and not have to resort to taking from my savings.
• Keep up with organization. So far I've done good in going through my stuff and deciding what stays and what goes. Do this four times a year, spring cleaning, summer set up, fall pre-holiday clean-up, and the end of the year cleanout.

Well this is all I can think of. Now...usually people make resolutions and they forget about them until the end of the year when they are making new ones (or repeated ones) so this time I will do a six month check-up to see how I am doing so far.
