As 2013 draws to a close, I think about the year that's passed and what I'd like to change in the future. I don't like to call these changes resolutions, since resolutions are something that aren't really stuck to. I like to make changes that stick.
Of course, every year ending leads to some measure of reflection. For me, I'm another year older, a little wiser (at least I think), and a better person as time goes on. So, without further ado… a list of things I'd like to keep doing, and things I'd like to start doing ahead of the new year.
1. Keep up with my fitness routine. 2013 was great for that. I really started working out in February, and I've found myself very near the 30 pound weight loss mark. I'm proud of myself, and plan to keep going. I have loved the feeling of pushing myself and making changes that will last for years to come.
2. Be a more consistent writer. Not just blog posts, but writing in general. Writing is something that I have always loved to do, but something I haven't made as much time for as I would like. Of course, I am still figuring out my blogging voice, and am planning to continue and improve.
3. Keep on crafting. I didn't do as well with my business this year as I would have liked, but it is not something I want to give up on. I want to continue making things in my offseason and do what I can to have a ton of new stuff in 2014. In case you didn't know, my business, Blackheart Knits & Crafts, is located on Etsy here.
4. Meet some new people. I think everyone wants to expand their circle of friends, but this is one thing I am really terrible at. I would like to maybe find a knitting circle or book club, and be more outgoing all things considered. I have to get over myself and realize that not everything is a negative when it comes to other people.
5. Get better at cooking. I have found a few recipes to try in 2013 that I've really loved, and I really love putting everything together. From store to pan, cooking is something I really want to get better at.
There's mine! What are your New Year's non-resolutions?
