I know everyone makes resolutions. I'm not different. But this year my resolution is going to be different. I figure the one I ususally make to lose weight and get in shape hasn't work for the past few years so I might want to try something new. That's why this year my resolution is to a better job of "living in the present."
It may sound like an easy task but think about it. How often do we spend our time thinking about what's coming up? or what we're going to do tomorrow? or this weekend ? or on our next vacation? You get the idea. I'm going to try and appreciate what's going on right now without thinking about what's to come. I know it's not going to be easy but even if I am able to do it several times a day I'll be good with that.
Why you may ask did I decide that this is the resolution for me for 2008? Well I think being a new mother has something to do with it. I've found some of the best times I have are when my husband and I are just hanging out and playing with our son... not thinking about anything except the three of us spending time together. So if I can capture that kind of thought process and insert in more of my daily situations I think I might be better off.
What the heck it's worth a try, right? I mean what have I got to lose? A little less time daydreaming about what's to come and little more time enjoying what's happening right now. Wish me luck.
