This year I decided to do something a little different for a “new year’s resolution”. I find it hard to stick to one thing throughout the year, and instead made a list of 25 things I wanted to do while I am still 25. My birthday is September 18, so I have 6 months to go. Some are things to do weekly, some are things to do once, some are things to accomplish over time. Some of them I am already falling behind on, but this list is a constant reminder of where I am placing my priorities this year.
1. Find a Church
2. Clean out my closet
3. Surprise Travis
4. Work out every week until 9/18
5. Keep up a monthly budget
6. Talk to my girlfriends every week
7. Save every month for a new car
8. Call Poppi weekly
9. Keep up a manicure
10. Construct a gallery wall in my room
11. Try 5 new restaurants
12. Teach Major a trick
13. Get euro pillow shams
14. Eat at an indian restaurant
15. Get rid of some shoes
16. Hike Mt. Bonnell
17. Keep up my 4.0 GPA
18. Go visit Travis
19. Post on my blog at least once a month
20. Visit Dallas
21. Visit Houston
22. RUN a 5-k
23. Try 5 new recipes
24. Host a party
25. Go to a concert
Many of these are weekly or monthly challenges, so I will not be able to cross them off until September, but check back then, or feel free to send me weekly/monthly reminders to keep me accountable. Have you challenged yourself this year? New Year’s resolution? Promises to yourself? How are you keeping yourself accountable?
