Resolutions 2015: What Will You Promise Yourself?

Resolutions 2015: What Will You Promise Yourself?

Last year, I made three resolutions. You can read them here! How funny since this year we did host a New Year's Day party! And how did I do with the resolutions? 

     1. Do yoga went ok. I found that I don't love yoga as much as I want to love it, and I got thrown off by back problems. 

     2. Work hard. I'm not sure why this was my resolution since I tend to really work hard, maybe too hard, but I think it was about focusing on my career. I have moved around a bit in my job since then, and I did some kickass work so I'll say success! 

     3. Say yes to possibilities. This was a real guiding star for me this year, as I said yes and yes. Sometimes I'd think should I do this? And I'd come back to "say yes to possibilities." This is my inspiration for cutting back to just one resolution this year.

I'm so curious since it seems like lots of people don't anymore, but do you make resolutions at this time of year? Are they multiple, singular, long, short? What have you found works for you? Are you changing anything up this year? I've noticed a bunch of people do a word of the year, and I like that idea. I've found what works best for me, this time of year or anytime, is a short, directive phrase. I like goals like "Play more" or "Say yes." When I'm deciding between doing something or not, I run it through my goal/resolution. 

For January 2015, I'm keeping it simple-Put Your Shoulders Down. I've noticed that I hold my breath a lot, and I think this simple thing could help me to breathe, to relax, and to keep perspective during those times when my shoulders end up up by my ears. 

I'd love to know what you're promising yourself-I find this stuff so interesting! 

If I could make a resolution for my clients, it would be Talk Sweetly To Yourself. Yup, for every single client, of all ages, shapes, sizes, and stages of life. Just that.

I worked yesterday, but I have today off. I'm not sure what we'll do today aside from a hike planned with our Bernese Mountain dogs, but to me a New Years Day party is the best. There's so much less pressure than for NYE, and many of us have the day off. We're not hosting, but if someone were to invite us to a great mid-day, low-key brunch party, in my ideal world this is what I'd wear: an incredible cashmere sweater from GH (don't own it, but if I did, I'd buy it two sizes too big and wear it drapey) topped with this amazing jean jacket that my husband gave me for Christmas, and what have become my standby, these faux leather pants. 

And I've made just three resolutions for 2014. I love making resolutions, but this year I've decided to keep it simple! I find that sharing them helps me hold myself accountable to them.

Here's a little printable if you'd like to set a few for yourself-just right click and save it, print it, and write in your resolutions!

Speaking of keep it simple, what about something like Be Daring? Or are you going to ease into January without making resolutions?

I'm pleased to announce that my virtual sessions have been a success! When I first launched my blog, I wasn't sure if they would be a good idea or not so I discounted them for two months. I'm happy to announce that virtual sessions (via FaceTime or Skype) are a go! I will now charge the same rate ($75) for a three-hour virtual session as I do for a three-hour in-person session for all services booked in January regardless of when the service takes place. Note that I am booked for January and February and will not have any additional sessions (aside from those already booked) in March due to assisting with a friend's labor. I am now booking for in-person and virtual sessions in April. Please visit this page for additional information about pricing and booking.
