2019 Resolution Possibilities

I love fresh starts.  I love planning. But, I don’t love the crushing feeling of having made plans and not following them through.  This is the very reason, I suspect, that so many people are hesitant to set any resolutions at all.

In an effort to circumvent the whole soul-crushing thing so soon after the New Year, I’m looking at a couple of alternatives to the resolution concept.

First, a really cool concept I found on A Cup of Jo.  The idea is to make lists (she’s speaking my love language) of what you want to see more of in 2019 and less of in 2019.  Doesn’t that sound like a kinder way to think about the year ahead?  For example, this year, I’d like to see more of:  gratitude, kindness to myself, consistency, and avocados; And less of:  bad sleep, stress, rushing, and regret.  No hard lines, just a little more of some things, and less of others.

Second, a theme.  The is the year of __________.  I love this concept.  I’m still debating my theme (I’m close, though) and debating whether I want to share it.  It might just be more magical to be quiet about it.

I’m adding that to my list, too.  More quiet this year. Love it.

What kind of resolutions appeal to you?
