I've seen so many joggers on the way to work lately, I didn't notice it so much until the BF pointed it out. Many of these people weren't the hardcore road warrior types. They didn't look the part. They weren't wearing the telltale athletica or rocking that overly exaggerated perfectionist running form. They had strides that were somewhere between a power walk and reluctant jog, with arms that were fighting a missing wind.
The BF and I have a theory, It's early in new years resolution week. People have a resolution to keep and they were out in full force. The first weeks of Jan we shall see plenty of this. However, come Valentine's day we will expect to see a dramatic falling off.
I don't have a problem with resolutions, I don't usually make them. I get the sense they are hard to keep, especially ones that have to deal with breaking a well ingrained habit.
However I have made two resolutions of my own for the first time in 28 years.
The First Resolution
To write in my journal at least a few times a week. I used to be hard core about this. Writing for hours until my hands would get so tired, that I couldn't understand my own writing the next day.
But between my regular diary and my gratitude journal [A list of things I am grateful for during the day, from finding quarters in my washing machine, to free food samples at Loblaws], I'm lucky to have a few entries per month.
I love looking back at the things I wrote as a kid and in high school. I know I will regret not keeping up w/ my thoughts when I have nothing to read in the coming years.
The Second
Is to create and maintain a vision board. I used to think that stuff was for corny folks, with too much time. But since I do believe in The Law of Attraction, it only makes sense.
A vision board is a collection of things you want in your life and you create a board that is filled with these things using words and images. If you see it for yourself put it up there. That body you want to have, the man of your dreams, the number of Cheerios in your bank statements....post it up!
So that is my new project, and I'll try to post a pic of it as soon as I complete it.
Ciao,
P-dids
