In No Particular Order

2009 Resolutions:

1. Do not contact any ex in any way, shape, form or manner.
2. Go to the gym or get exercise at minimum of 3 times weekly, regardless of what else is happening that week.
3. Get healthy – eat fruits and vegetables on a daily basis and this smoking thing has got to stop.
4. Practice Spanish daily – even if it is for 10 minutes a day and try to speak Spanish as often as possible for the practice.
5. Do not buy any tickets to any concerts that you cannot pay for in cash.
6. Pay off your credit cards.
7. Do not go shopping because you are bored.
8. Do not go out drinking more than twice a month.
9. Do not give into to other’s opinions of you! If I am too fat, too old, too mundane, too silly, too stupid, too frivolous, or too anything for you then FUCK YOU.
10. Focus on positive things – real friends, family, productive ways to spend your energy, feed your mind, improve your body, and see the difference.
11. Give up revenge – it is stupid and a waste of precious energy. Living well is the best revenge - albeit it easier said than done.
12. Dwell on what you have not what others have.
13. Keep a clean house and toss out shit. No need to keep old magazines and mail and stupid shit. A clean and neat house is a clean and neat life.
14. Be honest – most importantly with yourself!
15. Live your life – fuck them.
16. Remember to be passionate and forgiving toward yourself everyday.

Key: Post Regular updates on the status of these. Modify as need be. Repeat as often as you can. Keep them visible at all times.

Editors Note: Thank you Joseph for your input on number 16. Especially since it merely echoes the advise both Michelle and Michael have given me separately, "Don't be so hard on yourself".
