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

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!

Today’s Resolution: Find An Old Notebook

Finding an old notebook isn’t the resolution. The real resolution starts with what you find in the notebook and the actions you take thereafter.

If you find positive memories and thoughts, be grateful that you have documented the memory.

If you find negative and painful memories. Try to forgive the person that caused you the pain. Once you feel at peace, toss the notebook in the trash. You can even tear the pages out if you find other notes you’d like to keep.

Some people may want to keep these negative memories as a reminder of their past. This is perfectly fine as long as you try to forgive the people or things that made you feel so bad.

Did you find this resolution helpful? Did you find an funny stories you’d like to share? Either way let me know by posting a comment.

Today’s Resolution: Turn the TV Off

I know, for some folks this resolution will be really tough. Keeping the TV off  today may make you crazed but if you take a little time to prepare you’ll get so much more done today. Spend more time with friends and family, or get a couple extra chores done. Heck, maybe there’s a board game that needs to get dusted off?

Do your best to be TV-free today!

Today’s Resolution: Walk Barefoot on Grass

Walking barefoot on grass is supposed to reduces stress and make you feel good. I tend to believe that because I have fond memories of running barefoot on my parent’s front lawn with not a care in the world!

Today, take a nice stroll through a patch of grass if you can (and some tall carpet if you can’t). Stretch out those toes and feel the earth beneath you.

P.S. I found this link to 125 reason to go barefoot.

Leave a comment and let me know how your walk went!

Todays Resolution: Plant a Seed

Today you’re dusting off those green thumbs.Whether it be a tree or a flower, fruit or a vegetable. Plant a seed in a special place that you’ll see often.

Today’s Resolution: Be a Beacon of Positivity

Today is the day where you’re going to let the positive vibes flow. Before you start your day, take 5 or 10 minutes to look at yourself in the mirror. Re-discover your past accomplishments. Relive a moment that brought you joy. Dream about all the good you will do. Now you’re ready to take on the day.

Today’s Resolution: Reach for Your Toes

Maintaing flexibility as we get older is an important part of our health. Today’s resolution is to reach for your toes. Try your best to stretch out and touch your feet. If you can’t quite make it, don’t worry. You now have a starting point to work from. Start off each day by doing a short stretch and you’ll improve your circulation, flexibility and your alertness in the morning.

Today’s Resolution: Preview The Week Ahead

Want to start the week off right? The secret is take time during the weekend to plan for the week ahead. Don’t drive yourself crazy. Just take 30 minutes to run down each day and make a note of anything you need to take action on. By Wednesday you’ll be thanking yourself. Get your week under control before it starts

Today’s Resolution: See Things From a Child’s Perspective

Sometimes we grow up and lose sight of our inner child. For some, imaginations have been banished away and all that’s left is a stuffy adult ego. Today’s resolution is to see the world from a child’s perspective. As your going about your day, ask yourself how a child would perceive the activities and people in it. What new things would they see, how would they react and where would they want to go? This is a exercise you should repeat often. It will make you a more humble, respectful and happier person.

How did you inner child see the world today? Let me know in the comments.
