2012 My New Year's Resolution • FINISH

1/6/2012

4 Comments

 
Last year I read an article and did a post about my New Year resolutions going in a new way. Here is part of what I said in 2011, "...after reading this article I realized that Christine's idea of picking a word as a guide for the year, something to "become", was a better fit for me now." This year I am looking back on that to see how it went. 

My guide word last year was "FOCUSED" and I found that is was simple and it became a sort of mantra for me. With whatever I did I went back to "focused" for guidance because that's what I was looking for in my life. It was helpful and the first 8 months went really well. The last few got a little, unfocused. I think the thing I would do differently to avoid that is to put the word up for me to see, somewhere, and so I could remember near the end of the year. Maybe by the 8th month "focused" was just more ingrained and less conscious. Whichever way, I liked it and I'm going to try it again this year. So I have a new word for 2012...

It's "finish". On New Year's Day I went through many words thinking about what I wanted to have guide me and I am really in a need of finishing things. When I think of this guide word it makes me think about what I am going to take on, because I have to finish it. It makes me think that if  it will help me be more thoughtful and balanced. It makes me think of what is on the table now, and finish it. 

Kind of ironic because this post sat here for several days before I actually finished it, to post it. So, my guide word "finish" is very fitting.

Love it! I think might have to be patience...I don't know, maybe "real".
Hey we finally came up with a family motto and theme! It took us forever, like 2 years, but we got it!

That's an awesome word! I should steal it, but with a baby on the way, I don't think anything is going to get finished this year :) I'm going to have to think of it, but I like this idea since I've done away with new years resolutions. Thanks for the idea & inspiration!!

You're welcome. But, I think "finish" could work for you, like finishing a baby. And even finishing only half of your projects rocks the craft world. Let me know what you pick and how it works.
