I originally decided to create this blog to do something different this year. Perhaps new is a better word for it since there are so many other blogs out there; I wanted to do something new this year. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut of sorts when it comes to my own art so I thought that maybe this could be a good outlet for me. It’s ironic though because writing is probably one of my worst attributes. I am slightly dyslexic and during elementary school I always dreaded the weekly spelling tests. I have come a long way though, I almost have my Masters in Education so the spelling issues never held me back. I wouldn't want a spelling problem to hold me back from doing this either, that's what spell check is for, right?
So this blog is going to be about life resolutions, hence the name. I was thinking about starting the New Year with New Year’s resolutions but then I thought why do people make resolutions that are only for this year. Why can't I make some resolutions for the rest of my life? Resolutions that will ultimately better my life and me as a person. They are goals for me; things that I need to start this year and bring with me through my life.
My first resolution is to not procrastinate so much. As you can see, I have already procrastinated on starting this blog. I came up with the idea of the blog about a week before the New Year and wanted to start it on the 1st. But it is now the 11th of January and I am finally writing my first post. So this is something I most definitely have to work on. Even though I do procrastinate with aspects of my life, I always get things done on time. I do write many to do lists but I complete them last minute. I want to utilize my to-do lists, with due dates, to complete my tasks. Let's see if I can accomplish this goal in the next few months so I can make my life a little less stressful.
I hope to post something new at least once a week. I am sure my life won't get too hectic to do this but we'll see. I also want anyone reading my blog to leave comments or make suggestions. I do take criticism well but be gentle.
Up next is my complied list of Life Resolutions. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.
