New Year’s Resolutions
What are my New Year’s Resolutions? I have to be honest, I, Brandon don’t usually get into making commitments that are vague or unmeasurable. So when it comes to New Years resolutions I have to think logically, something that can be measured. I am not a big fan of just making some blanket statement, “I’m going to workout more” for example. I mean seriously that could be just doing 10 pushups over the course of a full year. Rather I try to be concrete with my ideas and give them something to be able to actually measure as a goal.
This year of 2018 I wanted to focus on a few things and as simple as they are I wanted to make them obtainable but yet something to still strive to do. Some of my items are things that maybe I used to do more often or better and have fallen away from the habit of and some of the resolutions are brand new things for me.
New Year’s Resolution List
-
Cultivate real meaningful relationships with friends by weekly asking their needs in prayer (then actually praying for them) and hanging out at least once a month with a local friend.
-
Make 4 new friends.
-
Plant an edible garden enough for at least 10 meals.
-
Attend a Diaconate discernment retreat.
-
Go camping at least 4 weekends.
-
Have quality worship time with playing the guitar at least twice a month.
-
Take my wife out on at least 2 dates a month.
-
Teach a photography class to locals.
-
Edit more efficiently so as to enable Michelle to focus on other projects. (This means take on more than 50% of the photo editing.)
-
Declutter my life by selling or donating items that we just don’t use anymore.
There you have it; my top 10 things that I will strive to work on this great year of 2018. What are your New Year’s Resolutions for 2018? Can you make them measurable? I’ll be honest sometimes it is a little harder to make it something that can be measured but it is totally worth it. I pray that your 2018 is as beautiful and blessed as ours is.
