It's the new year and I need a change.

No, it's not a new year's resolution, coz i know I'll procrastinate or cheat my way out of it.

Here goes...

1) I want to hit the gym AGAIN. It’s been months since I’ve seen the inside of the gym. Getting sick, family crisis, overtime at work and school papers that needed to get finished all kept me from exercising.
Now, the question is: how do I start again?

Note to self -- I will commit myself for the whole month

Starting February, I will make a commitment to go every day (even just for 20 minutes) for one month. This will solidify the exercise habit. By making a commitment I'll take pressure off myself in the first weeks back of deciding whether to go.

2) I want to buy all the NECESSARY stuff that I have been holding back for months.

Note to self -- buy that Olympus Camera battery and that straight-cut jeans. I needed new tudung and brooches and some nice blouse oh yeah, a nice sling bag that i've been eyeing for so long..haha.. haih shopping spree la pulak.. budget, budget..

3) Jumping onto the next stepping stone. Honestly, even though it's early to make such decision, my instinct says that this is what I must do. So, I'll make an effort to find a way. Hopefully, in the mid of this year, I can make that leap.

Note to self -- Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.


4) Finance boost and management. This is a long-term plan and it's a hard one too. I have heavier responsibility and it's so easy to fall off track.

Note to self -- Money isn't everything--but it's a long way ahead of what comes next.
