So I had everything figured out with regards to my New Year’s Resolutions until trainer extraordinaire Leo Flowers, who you heard on a podcast before, sent me this lovely piece of advice:
Terence! New Years is almost here. Instead of making RESOLUTIONS, decide what you want the THEME of 2017 to be. Movement? Nourishment? Mobility? Vulnerability? Curiosity? Last year my theme was mobility. How can I be more physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually and socially mobile? I traveled more, ask for help more, meditated more, saved more and socialized more. All wins! A theme allows you filter all of your decisions through it as opposed to trying to remember a laundry list of things you said you would three months ago. We have theme parties and theme weddings, let’s have a theme year! What’s your theme going to be?
Well gather me together Leo! I was already deep into making my list before I even thought about tying them together in a theme but after really outlining what I wanted to accomplish I think I’ve settled on a theme: rejuvenation. I think that even in my goals that I have gotten away from myself a bit. So in 2017 if something ain’t feeding my spirit, pushing me to be a better me, or genuinely making me happy, then it can go.
Simple
In an effort to meet new people, I want to attend 1 new meet up a month. Nothing too difficult about this and it will be fun.
Also, once a month, I want to volunteer somewhere. This is one thing I’ve gotten away from since I moved to LA and now that I think my life has settled down a smidge, I def want to give back. Gonna try and volunteer at a dog shelter too cause I’ve always wanted to work with animals.
Keep better track of my finances by keeping a monthly budget.
Workout 5 days a week. I think I’m changing gyms but this should be possible.
Medium
Read 48 books.
Much of my creative stuff is going here because
-finish my Sense8 spec script by Feb 13
-write two first drafts of features and polish one enough to submit to a contest
-finish the script for one part of my graphic novel
-film my web series
Complex
@asiachloebrown posted the following on Twitter:
For 2017, make your theme: “I am going to ask for literally EVERYTHING I need. None of my needs will go undiscussed.”
I could not think of a better difficult resolution to try and achieve. Contrary to how friendly I seem, I am actually very shy and closed off. I also have a tendency to try and do things myself and my ambition can often lead me to not ask for help (it’s the Slytherin nature). In the new year, I’d like to focus on being more forthright and asking for what I need. It’ll be tough, but I don’t want to leave stones unturned.
I’m also putting the next one down here even though it ties into multiple simple goals. I would really like to cosplay as either Wiccan/Demiurge or Superbly at Comic Con this year. That would require money to buy the costume, be in good enough shape to wear said costume, and most importantly have the confidence to not be scared to wear it. The letter is something that I hope to overcome as body image is something I have long struggled with. But if I can somehow squeeze into those costumes, I’ll be glad.
What are your resolutions for the year?
