This may sound silly - but one of my resolutions this year is to remember to wear eye cream at night! Another one is to check the mail at least every other day (I have been known to go weeks).
A bit more seriously - I want to set achievable, short term goals on a regular basis. I tend to start out strong and lose interest -- or get distracted. I think if I'm constantly feeling like I'm achieving something or making progress I will meet with more success. I also love competition, so having a goal buddy helps. For instance, my brother and I have an ongoing bet where if one of us doesn't get 10,000 steps in a day, we owe the other person $10. And my mom and I are racing to lose 20lbs -- I think we agreed the loser has to clean the winner's bathrooms.
Another goal is to perform small, frequent, random acts of kindness. I get so much joy out of making others happy -- to a point. It's not uncommon for me to feel slighted or resentful if more grand gestures go without reciprocation or appreciation. But when I do something small - like complimenting a stranger or sending a "thinking of you and you're awesome" note to a friend, I feel great.
And finally, I want to spend more time doing things that I really enjoy.
Swimming: It's not easy getting out of bed in the morning to swim, but I never regret it. Every single time, I leave the pool feeling physically and mentally stimulated.
Cooking and entertaining: I love hostessing. I should invite people over more often.
Reading: I never make time for it and it's extremely rare that I finish the book club books. But like swimming, I never regret it.
