This year I seem to be struggling to decide what my goals for the year are. Not because I don't have anything I feel I can improve on, but perhaps because there are so many things I feel I can work on in 2009 that I wasn't too happy with in 2008.
There are also the resolutions that I refuse to make as they will simply be broken within a few short weeks. Resolutions pertaining to getting fit and healthy for example. I, like a lot of people, should have this one on the top of my list but know that at this time of the year I am likely to break it. Also, I hate cliches and hate doing the same thing as everyone else so need to find some that are a bit different.
So the first of my 2009 resolutions is to stop picking my nails. I have never bitten my nails but have picked them for as long as I can remember. I stopped for a little bit last year until stress made me get at them again. It's an addiction and I sometimes don't even know I'm doing it. But with a bit of willpower I think this is the year to get some real girly nails going that I can then fret over when they start breaking!
My next resolution is to not get frustrated at others' inabilities or lack of knowledge of certain subjects. I often find myself getting irritated at people perhaps not understanding the importance of certain things that I feel are a big deal to get right. Example? - The lack of brand standards and branding in a workplace. I know this is important as I spent time doing studies relating to this but others may not. Just because their priorities are not the same as mine does not mean they are stupid and it is my goal to realise this.
I also want to make sure I get my priorities right in 2009. Whether this means making sure I see all the people I need to when I am in New Zealand or spending the right balance of time with family and friends, I want to make sure I am able to prioritise things and make the best decisions possible throughout the course of the year. I don't know where I'm going to be in 6 months and I my decision making skills are probably going to be tested a few times over the next while. As long as I get to the end of 2009 and am happy with the decisions I have made then I'll be happy with this resolution.
I'm still working on a few more and hopefully I can stay away from the cliched resolutions. But I do want to stay happy, healthy and predict I will continue to fuel my photographic addiction even more this year!
Does anyone have any resolutions to share? Please feel free to pop a wee comment on this post.
