Some of us celebrate New Year’s eve with excitement and hope that this year is more fuller, enriched, exciting, adventurous and prosperous than the last one. Some of us may not celebrate it with as much excitement and think of it as just another day just another year. To each their own and that is okay.
Have you ever wondered about what time is? Simply put – it is just a continuum. Isn’t it just something that was made up a really long time ago? Sun rises and its day, moon rises and its night. 12 months to a year, 4 weeks to a month blah blah blah…I have started to think of it as a continuum and now decided I will be working on improving self without setting a New Year’s Resolution on a continuing basis and keeping myself accountable. I have done the resolution thing in the past only to realize it lasts for the first week of January and then the motivation just evaporates, poof! 🙂 Is that how it goes with you too or are you able to keep up with it?
In 2018 I have decided to just start a to be and to accomplish list instead of a New Year resolution. I won’t be setting complicated goals for myself. I wanted to focus on a few simple things and intentionally continue to do, not just this year but as a part of daily life.
2018 onwards I decided to:
– Drink green tea throughout the day, coffee only occasionally (couple times a month)
– Go to heated yoga class 3 times a week
– Keep FB checking to a minimum so i can maximize my focusing ability.
– Learn a new skill at work once a month
– Learn more about real estate investment
– Write a couple of posts per month
– Join a book-club and read more books
– Use more natural products
I will most likely be adding to this list as the year goes on. It’s only day three so can’t comment much on how things are going with the list above. I have already checked FB three times today, but not being too hard on myself because it is already 50% less than what I did yesterday 🙂 I will post about how I am doing with this list and the outcome of doing these things possibly in a couple of months to keep myself accountable.
Can you share what want to accomplish or what you will do to better yourself in the comments? What are your ‘2018 Onwards’? Would love to find out and am sure it will be inspirational for all of us! 🙂
May 2018 and years ahead be as fulfilling, prosperous, and enriched as you are seeking it to be.
Have a peaceful day!
Curiosity - Start Something 
My 2018 Onwards:
– Having more gratitude and finding gratitude in my challenges
– Living a decluttered live
– Waking up early (5AM) on weekdays to plan out my day and set my intention/focus for that day

Yes, you must! Starting is the hard part, it get’s easier when you don’t think about it too much and just went and did it 🙂 I had a hard time getting started with this blog too..my first posts talks about how I got started!

Great post! I did something similar with no resolutions, we wrote a family manifesto. What we would like to look like as a family. It has certainly simplified my decision making! If it doesn’t fit with who we want to be then we aren’t doing it. Thanks for linking me to your post!
