I don’t give much thought on new year’s resolutions but I attempt to think of a few. There’s something alluring about new beginnings …

What do I want for 2012?

Well 2012 has huge enormous shoes to fill, after 2011 drama queen, but on a personal level … meh … 2012 has only to take one step and that’d be beating 2011!

• Setting monthly goals! Even if they are simple and maybe I can push myself into setting some weekly goals.
• Focusing more on my health, I think I managed this well in 2011 and hope to continue into 2012.
• “Not everybody lives, but everybody dies!”. I really liked this quote. I think this applies to me. I need to have a thicker skin. Not get affected by what goes on around me. Or as my sister says: “The only solution is for you to live in Utopia” and since I don’t, I need to not get affected by actions committed by others that are against my moral standards and beliefs.
• Do one project, even if it is simple.
• Flourish on a religious level. As a kid religion was shoved down my throat, so I shy away by default from religious practices, I do the bare minimum. I don’t want the extreme, but a comfortable level.
• Keep on reading.
• Read more Arabic books.
• Volunteer.
• Don’t shoot me, but I want something more in terms of career, I do not like my job!!! I HATE this in me!!! It’s a dream job for most, but I do not enjoy it! I wish I didn’t have that part in me, where I need to be satisfied, it’s my freaking 3rd job! I wish I had a mentor, someone to guide me, someone who doesn’t give me the answer, just the TOOLS to discover what is perfect for me. Something that makes me HAPPY & CONTENT.
• Forgive! Mostly forgive myself. *though those I need to forgive most probably I won’t*
• Develop myself.
• Be a bit more social  though I think in the past 2 years, I have progressed but I do have set backs every now and then.
• For weekdays, I do not want to do home-work-home scenario even if it’s a stop at the grocery store. I need to break the cycle.
• DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!
• Learn how to spell and pronounce procrastinate :P
• Try and be more tidy.
• Express myself and share.
• Be optimistic! I am a pessimistic person. I keep it to myself mostly. Though I don’t give up easily if something fails … strange! Anyway, I want to be more colourful about life, Yes the sun is shining, the sky is blue, I believe I can fly crap ;p No more DARK thoughts or at least not as much.
• Not wear black as much Take more than 5 minutes to get ready  Be more feminine, defasha ma nabee  swoon once in a while
• Travel.

These are some of the things I thought of. What are your resolutions? Do share. And if you have any ideas or tips to help me with mine, or resolutions I need to include, do not hesitate to comment
