“It wouldn’t be New Year’s if I didn’t have regrets.” William Thomas
In my grown up businesses – Weston Communications, The New Baby Guides and UKBabyShows.co.uk, I have someone who is the “glue” of the operation – Hannah. She’s full of mostly wise stuff. She also likes to drink Diet Coke with me, and I can talk her into lunch at McDonalds, if I’ve truly overloaded her with work. So she’s not a saint, yet.
But something she’s said to me time and time again, in 2011. She says that the only things in life we regret, are the things we didn’t do. So in late November 2011, just over a month ago, I started working out what I wanted as my new year’s resolutions – the things I didn’t want to regret not doing. I didn’t wait for 1 January 2012… as I know that people fail when they start at things on 1 January….
There’s the slimming world – which is having an effect and starting to work
Then there’s the hypnosis – to motivate me to lose weight and keep on track
There’s also been some behind the scenes stuff – I’m cleansing, toning and moisturising more, including the bit between my boobs, as I’m worried about getting crinkly lines there!!
And although I’ve not done anything like a healthy, balanced diet, for over 10 days now, I’ve enjoyed it. But, funnily enough, I’ve also not eaten anywhere near the amounts of food I would have done a few months ago. And I’d made progress before hand, and will continue to again.
I’m feeling quite inspired right now – the only things I’m going to regret are the things I’ve not done. I hope this doesn’t come across as too schmaltzy. But I can tell you one thing for sure – I won’t be cutting my hair uber short again for a long time!!! I’ve done it and in hindsight it’s a good thing that I did it, because I’ve learnt that although lots of change is good, there’s some stuff we should all hang on to. And for me, it’s going to be my long hair!
What are your resolutions for 2012?
And PS. My photo is in here, as I never like to post photos of myself. This is something I’ll be doing more of in 2012 too – accepting who I am and being happy with it! x
