It's been a lovely start to the year - peaceful. The highlight so far has been a trip to London with my Dad. We wandered around key landmarks and went to see Mary Poppins, a pretty perfect day. More Dad-Daughter time is definitely on the 2019 agenda.
This year I'm determined to make some resolutions and stick to them. I figure if I write them down then I'm fully accountable right?
My first resolution is around fitness - every week I want to swim at least once, run at least 10km and do at least 1 session of yoga/pilates. The motivation is health - I find when I exercise both my physical and mental health are far better. I wrote last time my word for 2019 is acceptance - I've decided I have another one: nourish.
My second resolution is to choose 1 thing to do every day each month and 1 thing to give up for the month. For January I have chosen to do one session of mindfulness every day on the Headspace app on my phone and I've chosen to give up alcohol. I'll report back each month. It's quite fun really, thinking and planning about things to do every day for a month. I'm thinking about yoga, playing the piano, reading and crocheting for other options!
Have you got any New Years' resolutions?
