Let’s see if I stick to these. I heard some nice statistics on the news yesterday – only 12% of new year’s resolutions are kept by the end of the year…
Mine for 2008 (next checkup date: January 31st 2008)
Mastercard: good to have, easy to use, no money to pay it off. What a shock today when for the first time I found out I didn’t have enough money to pay off my MC. Oops. I guess I did a little (lot) too much shopping… RESOLUTION: I will seal my mastercard in a small envelope in my purse, to be used only for emergencies (ie, stuck in nowhereland and need to cab home)
Extra 10 Pounds: the chubby look doesn’t suit my small 5′2″ frame, and looks strange on camera. Current Weight: 123Lbs. Goal Weight: 113 Lbs. That will keep my BMI at 20.7, which is still well within normal weight. Hopefully that doesn’t make my boobs go away, I rather like them. RESOLUTION: take advantage of Steve’s gym. Do more yoga. Drink water. Dance to my heart’s content (ssssalsa!) because dancing is the funnest exercise around.
Acting: i’m done film school. yikes. now it’s all up in the air. RESOLUTION: Get my voice over demo done ($500). Get new headshots when my braces come off. And most importantly, prepare well for every audition. Warm up thoroughly. Go into every audition with the goal of getting another audition. Be happy doing my art.
Worrying: self explanatory. RESOLUTION: REMEMBER THAT IT’S ALL GOING TO BE OKAY. IF WE GET BOMBED, EVERYTHING’S GOING TO BE OKAY. IF I DON’T BOOK ANY ACTING WORK IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY. IF I CAN’T GET MARRIED IN APRIL IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY. IF PEOPLE HATE ME IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY. it’s going to be okay. if things are bad, they’ll get better.
And most importantly, if things are good, enjoy it. stop worrying that it won’t last.
There. Beverly. Do you think you can keep your resolutions? At least 12%. How about 20? 30? 50% of resolutions and i’ll be a success story.
i love low expectations.
