Raising Awareness Together Golf Tournament in Support of Dennis Franklin Cromarty Drug Treatment Program Thank you to everyone who supported these efforts. The kilometers that I ran, biked, climbed, crawled, and golfed, totaled the distance of a half marathon and I was able to raise thousands while doing it. However, I wanted to include a way of giving back during the year of awesomeness so I participated in challenges/events to raise funds for causes that are close to my heart. Run a 1/2 Marathon: I hope to attempt this in the new year as it is on my bucket list. Read the 10 books from ‘NYC PR Girls 10 PR Girl Must Reads’ List: Blog post with quotes is on its way. Avoid looking old (any tactics welcome): ummm I need more tips please- the new wrinkle on my forehead made me cringe so hard another one showed up. I have some cooking classes planned that I’m sure everyone will enjoy.ħ. Learn to cook … Finally (a couple dishes anyhow): Pesto, some amazing appetizers, mastered the stir-fry. Learn to Surf: Costa Rica bliss! Didn’t get eaten by a shark- double check.Ħ. Get legs like Carrie Underwood: Silenced my inner mean girl instead.Ĥ. The Reunion- Britney Spears Vegas Trip with besties (we all saw her at the tender age of 16 so it makes complete sense to see her 14 years after): This happened. Stand-up paddle boarding: Did this in Costa Rica. If you get derailed, learn from it and get right back on track.ġ. And if you can, try to invite friends to participate along the way.ĭon’t allow a one-day sugar binge, a shopping spree, or sneaking that cigarette (yuck- do people seriously still smoke?!) leave you feeling hopeless. This will get you extra support during your weakest moments, and you won’t want disappoint the people rooting for you. Post them on Facebook, write them on a sticky note on your desk. Set dates to see how far you’ve come and make things measurable. You need a strategy on how you are going to make your resolution a reality. If you don’t have a plan you will be doomed before you even get started. Also remember to provide yourself with more details and it will be easier to reach your goal.
Give yourself direction and a realistic timeframe- I’m going lose 10 pounds by May Long or “I’m going to put $100 dollars a month into my savings account”, give you direction and a reasonable time frame to achieve your resolution. Resolutions like “I’m going to be healthier” or “I’m going to save a money” are certainly cute, but these objectives are nearly impossible to stick to. SO, here’s what we’re going to do instead (the best part- we don’t have to cut back on carbs or have less fun ).
And we’re definitely not going to fall into the trap of assuming that everything will be magically different starting on January 1st- because get real!! HAS THAT EVER WORKED? EVER? Exactly. This year we’re not going to make the same typical New Year’s resolutions we always make, we’re not going to set arbitrary goals to “be happier” and “get in shape” just because that’s what everyone else is doing.
So throughout the past year I’ve learned some tips I would like to share to help you not fall victim to the resolution cliche. To date I’ve accomplished 24 with some still in progress and some nearing completion. You see I have been on a mission for the past year working on a list of 30 resolutions, my 30 to-do’s. This year however, it’s time to shake things up with some goals you can achieve, and I’m just the gal to help. The sad truth is, the vast majority of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned within a few weeks- actually only 8% of those who make them, stick to them. They’re the resolutions that seem to appear on our long list every year, despite the fact that we know perfectly well we’re never going to go through with them. Perhaps you want to spend less money, pay off your credit card bill, be a better friend, or even spend less time on social media. Let me guess, you want to lose weight in 2015, or maybe just eat healthier.
