To obtain one of the first places to a national exam & to be a better person. The first one is a bit hard, but, I know that if I don't set it as high as it can be, I won't be able to fulfill it.

To avoid failure by not having any Resolutions...ever.
To be more focused... I've already given myself a sigh knowing that's not going to happen.

I don't really have any resolutions, just affirmations for myself and things I've already begun to do but would like to do more/better, and that's to have better boundaries and to stand firmly in them. These include the boundaries I set for myself and the ones I set for others.
I'd also like to do better at reflecting on the good things that have happened to me so that I can manifest even better things. While I'm on the subject, I'd like to be better at claiming and acknowledging the good things I want for myself without attaching it to some warped sense of "hoping for the best and expecting the worst" which can be overall attributed to a fear of failure. In reflecting on past successes, I succeeded because I wanted to and didn't leave room for doubt. I'd like to carry that more into all the things that I do, whether it be my career, my schooling, or my relationships/friendships.
Speaking of friendships/relationships, I want to do better at spending time with them. I also want to be. Enter at trusting what they say instead of searching for a hidden meaning or waiting for the other shoe to drop. I give love unconditionally, so I should also accept it instead of questioning, especially when it comes to my partner. That man loves the everliving fuck out of me simply because he can. I don't have to question it.
Also, I love my body. I'm in awe of the way it looks and the things that it can do. I'm also really beautiful and have a great smile. In 2017 and beyond, I won't venture into or dwell in any frame of mind that makes me feel otherwise, and I will do so without needing confirmation from others.
Finally, I need to cook more. Not just as a means to an end, but just for the enjoyment factor. I didn't do that nearly as much as I wanted to this year.

To organize my home
To not yell at my hubby...well not as much anyway.
To stay on top of bills
in no particular order:
1. adopt a more minimalist lifestyle. i have a tendency to hold onto 'stuff', not realizing that by letting go, i make room for more to enter my life.
2. be more present. being around my young nieces and nephew has really shown me how beautiful this is. no looking back with regret or ahead with anxiety.
3. realize that the world happens for me and not to me. i need to not only believe in miracles - but expect them to happen.
4. nourish my relationships. my parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles are getting older. this year has served as a reminder not to take their time here for granted.
5. love me some me. i'm pretty nifty lol?
?happy new year and good luck to you all!?
In 2017 I'm going to concentrate on improving my physical health after a couple of recent scares. I'm also going to try and be a bit more stress-free as life is too short to carry so much worry on your shoulders.
What would the Fonz do?
Mine are tough this year
Not to slide naked into a cactus
Not to run for President
To take a break away from social media indefinitely.
I don't make new years resolutions, I stick to new years intentions.
Some intentions:
Focus on writing again.
Visit somewhere new.
Meditate more.
Do something that scares me.
Clossst thing to a resolution I made was to not start the year hungover on the couch .... but foiled those plans! HNY all.
My own commitment isn't quite a resolution as much as it is a wish: I wish to remain with my gorgeous girlfriend through all of 2017.
We'll be celebrating two years together in February 2017; my previous relationships never lasted more than around 2 years and a half (for different reasons). In other words, if I make it to the end of 2017 with my current girlfriend it will be my longest relationship ever. Things are going exceptionally well with her and I have no reason to think that we won't make it to 2018, but the circumstances will still hold a very particular connotation for me: my personal situation is more solid than ever before and hopefully I've finally found the perfect girl for me. And who knows, maybe in a few years I'll finally realize that my cum can serve a greater purpose than my own amusement and we'll have a few beautiful babies together. She's quite a few years younger than I am however, so we still have plenty of time to think about that sort of commitment.
Aside from that, I'm pretty darn happy with my current situation. I've been ruthlessly kicking myself in the ass for the past 10 years, I can finally breathe a little and profit from my relentless efforts. If anything, I've been spasmodically working on a bunch of tangled poems for nearly 3 years now (ever since I joined Lush actually); hopefully I'll finally make my poetic folder a bit less chaotic and release a complete collection of poems in 2017.

To improve my off-hand (meaning, I naturally shoot left, so learning to shoot right better) shooting skills. That's it. I'm long since past making resolutions that I know I won't/can't keep, so keeping it simple this year.
