Wow is Jan 2017 already over? Where does the time go? My parents where right, time goes by faster as you get older.
2016 was a challenging year, and I have to admit ended very rough. I am not one for NY resolutions, but I did spend a lot of Jan 2017 thinking about changes I need to make.
Here are a couple.
1. I need to learn to connect with people better, and it starts with reaching out to people, not waiting on them to reach out to me. This is hard for me. You see as a whole, I do not like people easily. Now I don't dislike them, I just don't connect very well. And I have finally realized that these people also see that in me, and that tends to lead them away from me, which I just accept and move on. I want to work on making more of an effort to make actual connections though. People need other people, and not just for a lift, or help moving, but for so much more than I actually am willing to admit, but I guess I just did. Well anyway, there is resolution #1
2. I need to eat better. Nuff said
3. I need to look for the positive more, and not allow the negative to control my feelings about things. I do not feel I am a negative person in general, I just have a bad tendency to focus on whats wrong more than whats right. In my job for example, I will visit a rep of mine, and books might be set 95%, and Ill say, hey books looks good, BUT, and then that but will be my focus for the rest of the conversation. It is how I was raised, but I need to work on that.
So there's a few things I plan on working on this year.
