jon_chaissonWelcome 2014! Here's to hoping all of you have a great banner year, and hit as many goals as you can, whether they be creative or otherwise!
I'm going to be pretty busy this year, as I've given myself quite a number of goals that I want to hit. I'm content with my output from 2013 and found that I could handle it if I put my mind to it, so I'd like to ramp it up a little bit this time out. I spent a lot of last year fine-tuning a lot of things in my life, basically being more aware of my thoughts and actions, putting more focus on what I want to do, and filtering out a lot of the noise and the distraction. I'd like to continue that and move forward this year.
That's the theme for me this year--forward motion. :)
On a more personal note (and related to the filtering process), I've chosen to be more positive this year. Not blissfully oblivious, of course--more like deciding not to dwell on frustration as much. I don't externalize it all that often, and not nearly as much as I used to, but I still slip with the occasional rant now and again. That's the thing--if I need a release, I can always write it out in a personal journal--which I used to do back in the day anyway, back before the soapbox thing called the interwebs--there's a lot I don't think I need to share with others. I'll know if I ever do, but for the most part if all I need is just a release, I can keep it private.
Health is also going to continue being a big thing. We got a bit lazy over the last few weeks and skipped out on going to the gym, but I'm sure we'll be picking it up again quite soon. I've also been visiting the dentist--something I haven't done for a number of years--and would also like to make it a habit heading to the doctor for a checkup as well. I'm in much better health than I was in the past, but I think it would probably be good to see where I stand and what still needs to be adjusted.
Other than that? There's always time for upgrading, fixing, and everything else. Time to make it happen. :)
More on the writing goals in a later post today! :)
