We had a bad end/ rough start to 2014/ 2015, so only managed to review and plan out our 2015 new year resolutions recently. Who cares, there’s still 11 more months in 2015.
As usual, we reviewed our 2014 resolutions first, before coming out new ones. Though Dear1 and Dear2 did occasionally bring out the 2014 resolutions to remind ourselves, we failed quite miserably in meeting them at the end of the year. Nonetheless, they did serve as good reminders for us throughout the year. :)
As of any NYR, the 2015 new year resolutions should be SMART. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and with a Time. Here goes:
For Dear2:
– Beauty (take good care of oneself first before you are able to take care of your loved ones): Do daily skin moisturizing and monthly face masks + exfoliation
– Waist: Attain 28″ by year end
– Exercise: Do daily planks (minimum 2x 1min)
– Self Improvement: Try cooking new dish every month
– Cook: Master (盆菜 or other dish) for next CNY by next CNY
– Speak slowly, Listen carefully, Smile more
– Post: Write at least 1 post per month
– Drive: Do 1 morning routine by end of year
For Dear1:
– Weight: Reach 68kg by year end
– Exercise: Do daily planks (minimum 2x 1.5min)
– Self Improvement: Learn 2 programming languages (Python and Julia)
– Temper: Be more tolerant with Baby1 and Baby2
– Post: Write at least 1 post per month
For us:
– Family Activities: Out-of-house/ malls activities once a month
– Couple Activities: Just for Dear1 and Dear2 activity/ new experiences bi-monthly or join 1 (dance) class
– Hugs & Kiss: Hug and kiss Dear1, Dear2, Baby1 and Baby2 everyday
– Travel: 1 long and 1 short trip for this year
– Finance: Save more money in this year
– House: Continue to view house
– Friends and Relatives: Have quarterly gatherings with friends/ relatives
– Nutrition: Eat at least 1 fruit every week
– Family Events: Participate in 1 (cycling) event
– Couple Time: Have just Dear1 and Dear2 time every week
A lot of times, when one reviews the new year resolutions at the end of the year, one will be dismayed that the goals might has changed course along the way. Time does not stand still, and things are constantly evolving. So take heart if the circumstances do not go as you’ve wished, for these new year resolutions still serve as a reminder to what your goals were one year back.
Happy New Year!
– Dear2
PS: Last year, we had a couple of monthly goals, but 1 year 12 times was quite hard to achieve given our busy schedules. So we changed some of these to lower frequency. Nonetheless, these still require conscious tracking, hence we decided to draw up a list and have them displayed on the kitchen fridge! :)
