Instead of resolutions, I’ve tried to think about things I want to start, stop, or keep doing in the new year.
Start doing
- Try out therapy and commit to it for at least a month
- Come up with a consistent strength-training routine that I enjoy doing
- Commit to cooking dinner together with my partner as many nights as we can
- Learn how to bake gluten-free bread
- Find new friends to grow meaningful relationships with
Stop doing
- Watching so much TV in the evenings – instead, read or play a board game
- Going on LinkedIn
- Being passive – say what I think in a kind way
Keeping doing
- Getting cardio exercise through things I enjoy doing (playing tennis, soccer) instead of things I don’t enjoy doing (running)
- Writing a blog post everyday
- Working at Graphite
- Take daily walks with my partner
- Saying “I don’t know” when I don’t know. It’s OK to get back to someone after you’ve had time to think
