This year, instead of forgetting your resolutions by March, remind yourself of your goals all year long with a charming little resolution bracelet. Wear it all year long to keep your goals in sight, or build your bracelet throughout the year, adding a charm each time you reach a goal. Here are some charms I found online for building my resolution bracelet:
1. (Cheese) Make my own cheese and yogurt at least once! I know, it is odd, but I have been wanting to do it for a year now.
2. (12, book) Read 12 books. I miss reading. It is about time I made time to do it again.
3. (Passport, Space Needle) Travel. I never travel except for family occasions, and while I’d love to travel the world, I am going to start with some smaller goals: Get myself a passport and explore the state of Washington.
4. (paw prints) Get into a routine of walking my dog every day.
5. (camera) Color correct and share my personal photos. I have all sorts of photos from family gatherings sitting in folders on my computer, untouched and unshared… sitting…rotting away.
6. (shovel, seed packet) Plant a garden. It’s going to have to be a balcony garden, but at least I have a balcony now!
7. (guitar, flute) Start playing and learning to play my instruments again.
8. (snowboard). Make it down the bunny hill without falling once.
9. (Dancer). Take a Dance class
10. (Spatula, ladle, egg beater) Make everything from scratch. By 2011, I want to be boxy free… no more store bought cake mixes, brownie mixes, or pancake mixes, etc.
11. (tennis racket) Make exercise fun. I want to get healthy through an active lifestyle and by playing hard like a kid. Gyms just don’t motivate me.
12. (watch) Manage my time better. I’m fairly confident I have the time to do all the things I want to do, I just need to be more disciplined with how I use my time.
Those are just some of the charms going on my bracelet. What charms would you put on your resolution bracelet? Share your ideas!
