Besides the obvious goal of being clean and sober, i want to focus on my health for 2024. Mind u I say this every year it seems and it never goes as planned. But Ive been doing alot of planning on how I am going to accomplish my health goals this year. Now to put everything into action beginning tomorrow.
Outside of my health goals, improving communication with my husband is another goal (more on my end of things). We both have our downfalls in communication but I want to be more open about things on my end.
I might think of some more things but this is it for now
I think i want to focus on my weight and health this year. Sobriety has granted many unexpected things, one of which was an extra 30 pounds. I want to fix that.
Eating lots of vegetable still and making homemade nutritious meals.
Drinking more water
Completing the couch to 5K
Getting stronger mentally
Being more kind
I would like to improve my health and fitness by working on routines. I have been good at some daily workouts in the past, but that lasts 2 weeks, max. I want to be more consistent.
My husband and I are committing to more vegetarian eating also, heavy on the veggies, legumes and whole grains.
I would like to re-enter the workforce after 7+ years out.
I want to get involved in some kind of community service/volunteer activity.
It all feels like a focus on lifestyle change, changes in the types of activities I’m involved with, getting out of my comfort in isolation at home, and growing more as a human. It’s exciting and a bit nerve wracking, too! It’s a next step in my recovery, for sure.
To be present in all that I do in everyday life.
Not an easy task. I literally zombie through life and it’s making me detached and lonely New beginnings
Better eating. I’ve a hazardous relationship with food. Same as drinking really. On or off, no inbetween. I was getting myself in good shape and then December landed and I hit the f*ck it switch. Now im having to start undoing the damage ive done over the last month.
Well I got a sewing machine for Xmas. I decided I need a hobby/ new skill to learn in order to help keep me on the sober path. I want to eventually learn to make my own clothes…besides that and keeping sober, just to generally be healthier, more present for my family and work on some of my emotional stuff
Happy new year
I’ve the same resolution as for the last decade+: clean the kitchen before I go to bed. I love a clean & neat kitchen in the morning and I evolved from once a week years ago to 5 days a week up to now.
Besides this I will take my chances in 2024. Whatever chances life presents me, I will take them. No thinking, no asking, just taking and doing.
And I will continue to be kind to myself. Being kind and nice to myself made such a difference in handling life on life terms last year. Practicing acceptance, kindness, self-love and meditation are on the top of my care-bag for 2024
20 years AF in April so keeping it ODAAT is high on my priority list.
Also take over the world and subjugate all human kind to my will.
Also to stop setting impossible goals (see above)
But really just to keep on keeping on, its worked so far &
