I have never really been one to make resolutions. Every year it’s a big thing and then no more then 6 weeks later we start to hear how everyone has ‘given up’ or ‘failed’ or just plain forgot what they were hoping to accomplish for the new year. The new year resolutions are sort of all seen as that thing you hope to do because it’s the new year and we’re supposed to … but then never follow through.
This year I am making a goal for myself. It’s huge. It might be unattainable. I might ‘fail’ but I have a feeling that it will be good for me. Not only to strive for it – but perhaps to realize that what my idea of the goal is actually different from reality. Resolution for this year is:
to get organized and find balance – health, marriage, motherhood, self, work, household
Did you roll your eyes and say ‘good luck’? Was your first thought ‘ yeah, me too’ ? Is this something that you struggle with hoping to attain also? When I share this goal with others that seems to be the reaction I get. I know that is a HUGE goal.
I know it is kind of the motherload of all goal. What is different though – well, what I am hoping will be different, is that I am not striving for a PERFECT balance. I am not striving to be PERFECT in all those areas. Basically I am striving for happiness. Happiness for me will come with finding it – even if it is accepting that it wont always be ‘perfect’.
I have a feeling I am not making much sense. It is all kind of hard to explain but I hope to explore more of this through out the year. Maybe overtime I will start making more sense

I hear you, loud and clear! I’ve made myself a list of aims for 2012, but the overarching theme is keep striving for balance. It’s the BIG ONE; the one I feel most people really want to achieve. I wish you the best of luck!

I think to become more organized and balanced you just need to take it day by day. Good luck on your goals. I think you can achieve this.

I always try to make a goal that I can reach and not one that I wouldn’t reach but this year I am going to do it different. I gonna make a goal that I normally would say I can’t reach that but this year I will reach it. Thanks for sharing!

That is WAY more than one goal!!! But I know that you can do it. I wrote a whole post on my New Year’s resolutions. Pretty cliche most of them but I have never made a resolution and though the best way to stick to them was to actually write them down.
My fingers are crossed for both of us!
