Make Your New Year Interesting, Exciting

Your year is what you create!  If last year was that kind of year that you would never want to return, then you must consider what you might want to do this year that will make your year memorable.

Too often we believe that we need to just stick with that one thing, one routine, one person, or one event and nothing more.  There are many people, places and things that we can experience to make our lives worth living, but we don't experience much because we are either too lazy, too busy, too boring ourselves, or too whatever to do much!  Now I'm not talking about running away from responsibilities, finding a cheap thrill, and living it up, but what I am saying is you can seek the kind of things that will make you come up higher mentally, physically and spiritually if you just step out of routines!  For some it is changing the way he or she eats, who they spend time with, and how they obtain income, what might be your needed changes for this year?

Whatever you feel the need to do, why not start performing the research, making the phone calls and doing the necessary things that will make your year a great one?

Some things you might want to start doing is as follows:

1.  Put money aside for a future event or vacation.  What was it that you missed out on last year because you didn't have any money saved up or time?

2.  Make free time to connect with people who can help you in your future endeavors.  Did you miss out on friendly engagements, meetings, etc. last year because you got distracted?  Look up dates, times and locations of events and mark your calendar in advance.

3.  Plan to move.  Tired of the apartment or home you are in?  What could you do differently?

4.  Job relocation.  Would you like to find a job in another state?  How about making plans to visit?  Send out resumes and see what might result.

5.  Start a new hobby, business venture, etc.  Who said that "you can't, you won't, you will not?"  Make up in your mind to ditch some of that TV and Internet time as well as those negative voices too and learn something new!

You could probably think of some other things you can do to make your year less boring and more exciting.  Note your thoughts, make plans, and start working toward goals--best wishes!
