As December draws to a close, many
of us are hastily composing New Year's Resolutions.
I know I make them every year.
Mine used to be the same old clichés: Go to the gym every day, cut back
on calories...
And there's nothing wrong with
these old resolutions. Many of us could
stand to exercise more often or get rid of some bad habits. But there's more to life than a drive for physical
improvement.
That's why I've recently begun
putting a new twist on my resolutions.
I've found carrying out these new resolutions so much more fulfilling
that I thought it might be worth sharing some of them with others. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
Spend more quality time with your
family.
Make sure your loved ones know how
much you love them.
Share a kindness with passing
strangers.
Make an effort to appreciate
everyone for who they are.
Be slower to anger, and more
thoughtful in your responses.
Try some fun new activity.
Whenever you see the opportunity,
do something to make the world a little better and more joyful than it was a
moment before.
These resolutions won't cost you a
thing, might take less effort than the usual ones, and will almost certainly
leave you and those around you feeling happier!
May this next year be the best yet
for you and your family!
Sincerely,
Valerie McConville
