With the first month of the new year almost coming to an end. I know it can be hard to sometimes keep up with our New Years resolution & the promises we make to ourselves. In the past I have felt inspired by keeping a all year long list of resolutions, that I set out to tackle monthly.
My past calendar:
January: I focuses on my normal New Years resolution.
I worked hard to achieve it & the good habits surrounding it. Concentrating on what is needed to make it a reality past the month of January.
February:
Self love, focus on yourself this month, not in a selfish way, but in a caring way.
Treat yourself to a facial or a massage, take yourself out to dinner at your favorite restaurant. Do more of the things that make you happy & treat yourself first.
March:
Try something new. Finally do that one thing you’ve been putting off. Or learn something new, a new language, learn to bake a cake, take pottery, or learn to knit. The possibilities are infinite.
Make this a month of starting new things & hopefully you will finish through with most of them.
April:
Spend more time with family & friends. Focus on catching up with those you miss. Call your loved ones that live far away. Focus on seeing faces & hearing voices.
May:
Spend more time outdoors. Spend more time visiting places, taking walks, sitting outdoors. Do something you’ve always wanted to do. Throw a party outdoors, camping, etc.
Jun:
Spend time with the little ones. Spending time with kids is actually therapeutic, imagine those little hugs. Volunteer & teach your skills to the youth in your area, if you can.
Be an inspiration to any child in your life by being present & showing love.
FYI: These are examples of things you can do, but of course the activities you choose should resonate with you.
They should be the activities you feel express who you are & you’d like to add more of into your life.
Jul:
Become a tourist in your own city.
I know there are so many new places that I haven’t visited or seen in my own city & lots of tourist spots I’ve never traveled to.
Aug:
Put in some karamatic work. Do volunteer work. I think by devoting a month to different work of charities, you gain a feeling that will stay & hopefully a dedication & desire to continue to help others.
A great way to get start is New York Cares
Sept:
Become a goal digger!
Set out to accomplish that big goal you’ve been putting off. If it’s something that will take time then set out to plan what it will take to start & do it no matter what.
Oct:
Do nice things for others, pay it forward.
Compliment a stranger, take a friend out to lunch. Nothing is to small & every act of kindness matters.
Nov:
Do something creative or artistic, take a plunge on doing something that triggers the creator within. Think like a child & take up that hobby you once loved.
Years ago I took a step & tried & loved NaNoWriMo.
Now I’m hooked.
Dec:
Do something unholidayish. This is a personal one for me, & that once in a lifetime move. Anything that takes me out the tradition for once.
Tropical island maybe!
Hope you add this fun idea into your life.
