To say I am excited to start this wonderful month would be an understatement. I am pumped!!
I just love the start of a new month and really love August. Southernly Smitten has also inspired me to start making "monthly resolutions", and it just make so much sense to me. I am never good at following through with something for 12 months, so baby steps may be the answer for me!
Okay...I need to stop avoiding my August resolutions and get to making some promises! Here we go...
1. Go to the gym.....3 times a week. C and I are pretty good about this...but there are just some weeks where I don't have the go-get-em attitude. Some days I'll go without even having to talk myself in to it on Monday and Tuesday then just can't even make myself do it for the rest of the week. I also like to take Friday and Saturdays off...and sometimes Sundays. So, yes...the resolution is 3 times a week, hopefully some weeks it will be 4 times...but here's to making myself accountable for a definite 3!
2. Watch my "tone"/patience. I want to really focus on my patience and when I lose my patience...my "tone". I know we all have our moments every now and then...but I want to be sure those moments make sense and they aren't just me being over dramatic. That being at work, at home and every else I may find myself. I just want to be sure I am enjoying life, and not making something out of nothing. I am really good at that :)
3. Quality phone calls. I want to really start focusing on having quality phone conversations with those I love. I am just not good at phone calls because I am too ADD. That's going to stop this month though, and I am going to be much better about chatting with the people who deserve it!
I'd like to do more...but I think if I keep the list small, I can really make some changes in my life. Cheers to August! and cheers to making myself a better person for those around me :)
Are you going to make any resolutions for this month?
