Today’s Resolution: Boost Your Self Image

Boost Your Self Image

Everyone dislikes something about themself, whether it’s their hair, their nose, their forgetfulness or their general lack of direction. Today, give yourself a pat on the back for being you. Take the first step toward embracing your flaws as the gems that make you unique!

Today’s Resolution: Leave Your Cell Phone At Home

Leave Your Cell Phone At Home

This is crazy! You won’t be able to function without your cell phone!

But honestly, do you need your phone with you today? In the not so distant past, no one carried a cellphone. The business of the world was carried out each day and everything ran smoothly. Today, people are obsessed with their phones. They can’t go 5 minutes without checking to see if they got a new text message or email.

Try your best to ditch the mobile appendage today. If you must carry one, leave it in the car.

Today’s Resolution: Stay Off Facebook

Stay Off The Facebook

Do you spend too much time on Facebook? Considering the completely counter-productive nature of the website, “too much” is a pretty easy flag to obtain. I used to be guilty of this too some days, especially during long waits (that’s why I deleted the app from my phone.)

Today, don’t even think about logging into Facebook.

Don’t worry, the world won’t end. All of your messages and friends’ status updates will be there in the morning. Spend this extra time with your real-life friends, family and children instead!

Today’s Resolution: Strike Up a Conversation with a Stranger

Do the opposite of what your mother told you never to do. Talk to a stranger today! You may be surprised to find out how much you have in common with your new friend.

Today’s Resolution: Call an Old Friend

Call An Old Friend

This resolution means a lot to me personally. I have so many old friends that I’ve lost touch with over the years. I plan on calling one of them today. I’m even going to take it step further and make it a point to call another friend next Friday.

Did you reconnect with an old friend today? Share your story in the comments.

Today’s Resolution: Write a Blog Post

Writing is an excellent way to clear your mind. Keeping a public or private blog is an excellent way to keep and share your written ideas with the world.

Today you’ll get all of those thoughts and ideas out of your head and into a blog post.

You may or may not have blog or website. Thats ok. It’s super easy to create a Tumblr account. You’ll have a blog up and running in minutes.

Feel free to share links to your blog posts in the comments.

Today’s Resolution: Go To The Movies

Go To The Movies

Movies on a Wednesday? That’s right. Today, try to make it to the movies. If you have no chance of getting to them, run out to the store an grab a bag of buttery popcorn. Fire up Netflix and and have a good time.

Today’s Resolution: Bring Breakfast

Bring Breakfast

Breakfast is the most often skipped meal. Today, try to bring a co-worker or colleague breakfast. It could be something as simple as buying them a coffee. Or as elaborate as pancakes and sausage . Whatever it is, make sure they start the day with something from you.

Today’s Resolution: Track Something This Week

A new week is upon us. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how many cookies you eat in a week? Or maybe how many cans of soda you drink?

This week choose something to track. It can be health related like your pulse or blood pressure. Food related, like how many times you eat out in a week.

Whatever it is, track the pieces of data that will help you make a decision once the week is done.

Maybe you’ll find that you don’t enough cookies during the week ;)!

I’d love to hear about what your tracking. I’ll be sharing what I track in the comments.

Today’s Resolution: Learn To Dance

Learn To Dance

Some people are blessed with the gift of dance. Other people are born with two left feet (I fall into this category).

Today you’ll learn with help of the internet. Below are a few video clips of dance lessons from YouTube. Feel free to learn a dance that fits your style.

Bonus points to anyone who posts a video of themselves dancing!
