The Ten Top New Years Resolutions that effect most People

 

Every year it seems to be the same 10 top resolutions. Why? Because they are just so hard to keep! The only two resolutions listed below that I was able to keep were the quit smoking and get more exercise. I hope that you have better luck than I did. My list includes many of the items listed below, but this Lens is not about Richard's New Years Resolutions, but the top 10 Resolutions. Here is the list.

  • 1. Stop smoking
  • I was able to do this one and the health benefits are tremendous, and I think that if you can do this one, you will be kicking one big bad habit.
  • 2. Get Fit
  • I am close here! I ride my bicycle and play tennis 4 days a week. It helps me to sleep, and I have lost 60 pounds because of it. DO IT! See a Doctor first to discuss your problem
  • 3. Lose Weight
  • I think that if you can do number 2 number 3 will follow suit. I have also used Weight Watchers to lose weight and it worked and you also had a lower grocery bill - so you kill two birds with one stone!
  • 4. Enjoy Life More
  • This is a hard one. I am not sure how to deal with this one. I have made this resolution every year, and haven't got a clue has to how to measure it. I am not even sure if I am enjoying life more. I guess the only person who can decide that is you.
  • 5. Quit Drinking
  • I haven't had this problem in 16 years. I quit after a going home party in England, I was so intoxicated I do not remember getting home, and I spent a night in a hotel bathtub, and almost missed my flight home! I said I couldn't stand being this bad, and just quit drinking. My body just can not handle it anymore!
  • 6. Get Organized
  • Ok, this one I have never succeeded at. NEVER! I have even given up on this one. I am not going to knock myself out trying to do it. A good portion of my Library has books on how to organize myself and my brain. Forget it!
  • 7. Learn Something New
  • This one is easy. I love learning. This year I am learning to draw and paint. My stuff at this point is not the best, but I am hoping that next year it will be different. Buy my paintings now while they are cheap! LOL
  • 8. Get Out of Debt
  • Wow this one is going to be hard. With gas prices getting higher, the price of milk getting higher, with our government finding newer and less imaginative ways to tax us, I just want to tred water on this one. Hopefully, at the end of 2008 I will be the same or a little less, as I am at the end of 2007.
  • 9. Spend more time with the Family
  • This is a hard one. I have to work longer and harder to make enough money. Also, as they get older the less time they want to spend with us old geezers, they have their own network of friends that they want to spend time with.
  • 10. Help Others
  • Yes, I try this one every year, and hopefully I am getting more successful each year.

So, that is the Top Ten New Years Resolutions. Write them down and see how successful you are at keeping them. I hope that you have more success than I do.

Stop Smoking - You can do it and gain 25 lbs 

I did it and gained 25 lbs!

Well, I dropped one vice and picked up another - overeating. Actually, I think it had to do with the fact that food tasted so much better! It was incredibly delicious! My taste buds came alive after I quit smoking! I ate everything in sight and more. After 6 months I still couldn't run the mile, not because of shortness of breath, but because I was getting fatter.
Quitting smoking is alot easier than you might think. I had quit 1,000 times before I did the final quit. My father had quit smoking after 40 years of smoking one of the grossest tasting cigarettes I have ever smoked, he didn't have to worry about me stealing his cigarettes, they were horrible!
The key was to read a book about what a terrible habit smoking was, especially while you were smoking, how it made you smell, how it controlled your life, how often you would do things just so you could have a cigarette, how much they were costing you, etc. Check my lenses on To Stop Smoking to see how I did it.

Get into a Habit of being Fit 

Getting Fit will take care of losing weight.

Ok, this has not really been a problem of mine, my father started me on the fitness bandwagon. Other than a few years here and there I have always managed to stay fit. I have even been told by a doctor that my pulse was much like that of an athlete - quite low. I have run, lifted weights, played tennis, I biked before it became a sport, etc. You need to get at least 30 minutes of exercise no less than 3 days a week! I currently work out 1 hour a day three times a week. You will sleep better and feel better. PLEASE CONSULT A DOCTOR before you go on any exercise program!

How to Stay Fit 

Staying Fit in our Busy World is Hard

Staying fit in our busy world can be hard. Usually when we are busy our exercise program is the activity that suffers. We forgo the exercising, in order to cram more things into our day. Exercising is a top priority item, it makes us more productive, makes us sleep better, so we can do more things, It helps us fight off those old age diseases that cuts into what can be still fairly productive years. My father still goes out at the crack of dawn and fishes and hunts at 77 years of age, only because he exercised regularly and still does to this day!

Organize Yourself - this is one of the keys to reaching your goals 

I have fun organizing myself - especially with a PDA.

I remember the old days of sheets of paper or journal and index cards. Now we have PDA's, PDA cellphones, Pocket Computers, etc. This is a much more enjoyable way of organizing yourself than the index cards, or journals. I spend much more time organizing myself, that my girlfriend thinks that I am having an affair with it. Try my Estore for your organizing possiblities.

And the Lord said Organize thyself 

Get yourself a personal assistant

Have fun organizing your self in less time. Beats the hell out of those index cards and journals and other stuff!
