Each year up to now I’ve made resolutions. I’ve written them down, reviewed them weekly and by the end of February most have gone by the wayside.
This year I’ve made up a motto which is tacked to my bulletin board by my desk.
“Try something new monthly, work on goal list weekly, smile and be happy”.
My goals list is for writing and personal goals. Those lists are also on my bulletin board.
I am really looking forward to trying something new each month. This month I bought a skein of cord and I will use my husband’s book on knots and learn to tie various knots.
Sounds like a silly thing to learn, right? But It’s a handy skill to have. It’s also completely out of my comfort zone. One of the key components of relieving stress is to do something with your hands, and also to learn something new. So learning something new to do with my hands will help me.
I ask all of you who read this post, do you have a skill you plan on learning in the New Year?
Happy New Year!
