tamaranthI don't really do New Year Resolutions, and though I have been thinking about 2008 I am not posting my reflections here.
That said, I'm hoping that in 2009 I will minimise waste (including but not limited to time, potential, emotion, money, opportunity); do more of what's good for me (such as swimming, country walks, writing, eating well); experiment (werk, relationships, creativity).
MIND chief exec on the problem with resolutions: "We chastise ourselves for our perceived shortcomings and set unrealistic goals to change our behaviour, so it's not surprising that when we fail to keep resolutions, we end up feeling worse than when we started".
My sincere wish for all of you is that you'll feel better about yourself and your life in 2009; that external factors will improve, or you will change to accommodate the bad and transmute it into something better.
