I Will

by Shana Ogren Lourey

I love an excuse to get better.  Isn’t that what a New Year’s resolution is for? 

As you prepare to enter the year of 2014, do you plan to succeed in new ways?  Will you accomplish your plan?

In an effort to do well, I start small.

Do-able resolutions:

  • Re-connect with an old pal
  • Meet a new person every month
  • Go for a walk
  • Be a mentor
  • Get a mentor
  • Read (or listen to on audio) one book per month
  • Learn a bit of a new language
  • Run a half marathon
  • Drink more water
  • Eat a food you have never tried before
  • Do something that frightens or intimidates you
  • Cook something you’ve never cooked before
  • Praise someone once per day
  • Use a new word every week
