New Years Resolutions

A few years ago I hit upon a fire fire way of keeping a New Years Resolution. That is to have at least 10 of them. It sounds crazy, doesn't it, but it works. Having so many more keeps off the pressure when you slip up. Have a binge eating session when your goal is to diet - doesn't matter, because there are still 9 other goals on your list. And that keeps you from throwing in the towel and giving up on your diet forever (or at least until next New Year) .

So here are my resolutions. I've even divided them into categories.

Physical:
  • Eat 5 serves of veg and 3 serves of fruit DAILY
  • Exercise DVD daily
  • Weights for 15mins daily
  • No artificial sugar
  • Improvement of posture

Spiritual:

  • To study the Bible EVERY MORNING
  • Pray at least twice a day
  • Stop swearing
  • Speak to others about Christianity
  • To accurately Tithe
  • To be a cheerful giver
  • To encourage at least 3 other people daily
  • To remember to say grace before meals

Academic:

  • To do 1 math set daily
  • To read 1 poem daily
  • To read one non-fiction book every week
  • To read one 'serious' fiction book every week
  • To begin learning Latin

Maternal / Housewifely

  • Cook 3 nights a week with at least one new recipe
  • Clean bathrooms once a week
  • Clean kitchen once a week]Some craft work (knitting, sewing, painting, etc) daily
  • Keep clutter at bay
  • To get one resource for homeschooling daily. I've already blogged about this.
  • To blog daily
  • To make $150 from Mary Kay a week.

So that's may goals. What are yours?
