New Year Resolution
It's a brand new year. Time for some new resolutions too? Oh definitely.
Definition of New Year's Resolution on google:
A New Year resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day and remain until the set goal has been achieved, although many resolutions go unachieved & are often broken fairly shortly after they are set.
I know that it is slightly belated now to come up with some since it is already 7 days into 2006. But there's always this expression - better late than never.
So I shall start... but where do I start? To start on something, you would naturally try to refer to some past sample as reference. So I thought of a 2005 resolution list. I tried to trawl through some old note pads I keep, I tried to trawl through some digital files I have to capture my thoughts, but I couldn't find a 2005 list!
How is that possible? I have a 2003 and 2004 list. Why not a 2005 list? How bizarre!
Then I tried to make sense of the 2 past lists and saw a pattern evolve in the form of a series of actions in 2005. Coincidence or thought put into action? I am still thinking as I have not concluded. There were some actions on both old lists which were similar. I am thinking maybe in 2005 I was in fact busy implementing those resolutions that I just didn't need one?
So if I have yet a conclusion, what do I have in mind?
I think I'd still like to come up with a 2006 list despite that I can't conclude on the missing 2005 list, thus find myself a little stuck with drawing up a 2006 list due to the missing 2005 list.
So, perhaps I shall start with a new approach. It's based on a method called 'storyboarding' - I read this from a blog post by a spiritual gardener named Solomon. His post can be found here - posted as 'Storyboarding your life '. It is a method of visualising your future, 'planning' if you may call it, which then should be transformed into action. I thought this might be an interesting method to come up with a new year's resolution instead of the usual list.
Right then, I should start fresh on the drawing board. Less distracting musing, more action!
