New Years Resolutions

My husband never makes any new year resolutions.  He says people never keep them.  That's probably true. Yet something in me knows I need to start fresh, again and again.  My biggest problem is narrowing it down to just a few.

1. Read my scriptures every day.  I've had good habits in the past, only to let them slip away.  Other things seem more important at the time.  But reading scripture and praying every day allows the Spirit to be with us and guide us.  I don't know much that's more important than that.

2. Eat healthier.  This shouldn't be hard for me, because I eat so poorly that anything would be an improvement.  I'll start by substituting fresh fruit and vegetables for some of the junk food I've been indulging on.  I haven't been feeling well, and believe it's a direct result of the crummy diet I've adopted.  I know myself well enough to know that I need to keep it realistic.  I'm allowing myself enough junk food to keep from the binging.

3. Use my time more wisely.  Spend a little less time on the computer, and a little more time doing something constructive.

4. (Speaking of something constructive...) Actually make some of the things I've pinned on Pinterest.

5.  Work smarter.  I haven't figured this one out yet...but there has to be a way to get more accomplished.  I feel like I never stop cleaning house and washing dishes.  I guess I need better habits like - put things away as soon as I'm finished with them.  Have a place for everything.

I should probably have exercising in there too.  I actually have more of a list than I think I'll be able to manage.  Well, maybe if I do something on the list everyday.

Later:  March 21, to be exact.  I was just reading over my new years's resolutions and decided that maybe I should start them.
