Project 365: Year of Self

The first week of the year is done.  How did you do with your New Years Resolutions? As I said in an earlier blog, I will share with you my revised goals/ resolutions. I will also share my 30 Day Challenges for the year.  I got many of the great ideas from daringtolivefully.com's Launch a 365 Day Project .

~~My Revised 2013 Goals & Resolutions~~

In Daring to Live Fully it states you need to do what is most important to you. For me 2013 is about myself; Self improvement, self awareness, self discovery, self acceptance, etc. It is a challenge to do the same thing for 365 days besides sleep, eat, shower, and poop. Some of us don't even do those everyday of the year. I get bored easy so I thought I would mesh my resolutions, goals, and 30 Day Challenges. Together they make up my Project 365: Year of Self. Sounds good right?  So let's get to it.

• Education
• Learn something new everyday. It shouldn't be too hard since I am in school.  
• To graduate from school.
• Family
• Spend more time with my kids.
• Have Family Night once a week. 
• Send notes & home made post cards to my nieces & nephew.
• Give Back
• Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity
• Donate unused items to local shelters
• Find new ways to volunteer & donate.
• Career
• Try to volunteer somewhere I would want to work after I graduate.
• Find a company with options to live somewhere other than Antioch.
• Self Awareness
• Become less attached to electronics. Having a No Electronics Day once a week.
• Go to Church more
• Meditate 15 minutes a day.
• Self Discovery
• Try new things (30 Day Challenges)
• Read more

With my resolutions in front of me I was able to decide on what 30 Day Challenges would help me accomplish my Project 365: Year of Self.  

~~30 Day Challenges for 2013~~

• January - Self Portrait
• February - Sewing 
• March - Self Awareness (anyway to focus on my inner being)
• April - Art 
• May - Fitness
• June - Write a Story
• July - Read (a genre I wouldn't normally choose)
• August - Dress up
• September - Knit & Crochet
• October - Gratitude
• November - Thank you letters
• December - Giving back & Volunteering

It may seem like a lot, but if you think about it, I'm just focussing on a topic more during a 30 day period rather than sporadically during the year. Plus it will keep me off the electronics more. I will post weekly Project 365: Year of Self photos. You will get a daily dose of January's Self Portraits though. Haha

and now Day 5 of 30... Enjoy

I went to the store like that >_<
