Be mindful.
That’s my resolution for this year, or rather my mantra for the year.
It means trying to think and act meaningfully, and thoughtfully, as well as reflecting on my actions and reactions,
The ways in which I’ll do this include
- Watch what I eat, keeping track via an app on my tablet. But it also means, savoring and appreciating what I have, and trying not to multitask (read, check my phone, go on the PC) while I eat.
- Spending less time in front of a PC mindlessly surfing and being constructive with my time at home and at work
- Finishing what I start
- Reflecting on the day, by taking a photo a day #2013PAD and by extension, a photo of what makes me happy #365happy. So no matter how flat or craptastic I may feel, I will always have at least one thing to feel good about.
- Be mindful of where I shop, shopping at local supermarkets, butchers, and fruiterers rather than Coles or Woolworths.
That’s what the plan is and I’ll document it over the year.
There she goes 
Good resolutions
Thanks- hope goes well with your impending arrival 🙂
Mindfulness sums it up so well Steph!
I spend way too much time mindlesslessy online…
What app do you use for eating??
I’m using MyfitnessPal, which you can use online as well. It calculates calories and exercise, and you can track your weight as well.
I have also decided to patronise the small shops more this year. I want to stay out of Woolworths and Coles if at all possible.
It’s working for me so far, but it can be challenging to totally avoid them.
