I want to volunteer more. I think of myself as someone who cares deeply and passionately about real causes, but I do very little. I want active citizenship.
I started on this while I was in school. Feminist political activism - while I didn't carry it while working at the black-hole-of-time that was my first real job, I'm looking to carry it through this year. Least I started. I'll give myself this one.
I want to be physically fit. My cardio sucks.
I actually started swimming every day in the summer, when I left school. I fell off the boat for a while, but I'm going to hit it hard again this year. I'm actually thinking about taking up some sort of sport. No, yoga doesn't count. I'm thinking teaching myself Arnis.
I want to be more creative. I have very few creative outlets in my life and I want to explore that side of me. I think I might take up piano lessons.
I haven't picked piano lessons, as I didn't have time, but I think I'm positioned to actually do it. I'm also connecting with the fact that I'm not exactly a "creative" type in the typical sense. I'm not particularly known for my ability to be artistically creative, but I do now recognize I am particularly creative when it comes to business (specifically in branding and marketing). I'm excited to really explore that part of me, since the taste I got of it this year kinda got me addicted.
All in all, I think I did OK with my last years resolutions.
This year, I'm going to resolve working towards making the quality of life for myself and those I love better. I want to improve the relationships that matter to me and I want to resolve to NEVER forget.
So yeah.
What did you resolve?
