Resolutions

sohlson posted this December 28th, 2011

We love EcoSalon’s list of New Year’s resolutions not to make – understandably, since an unofficial office poll reveals that none of us (except Courtney, who uses an excel spread sheet for hers) make resolutions ourselves.  Rather than changing who we are, our plan for 2012 is to refine what we’re already about:

1.  Have More Fun -  Even when we’re sitting in meetings or stuck in traffic, even when we’d rather be outside riding a bike or a wave, we’re gonna make what we’re doing fun.

2.  Do More Good – The Dalai Lama says (we’re paraphrasing here) that the key to personal happiness is to see to the happiness of others first. This year we’re going to look for every opportunity to stoke out our Santa Barbara community, our greater community and each other.  Simple stuff – like washing a pile of dirty dishes someone left in the office kitchen, sticking to our beach clean up days and donating to charities whose work we admire – is what we’re shooting for.

3.  Stay Comfortable – If we follow numbers one and two this one is easy.  Comfort starts with how you feel inside, after all.  Of course getting plenty of rest, eating good food and wearing über comfy clothes can help too.

Inspire us with your resolutions, both simple and life-changing.

  1. I’m stealing one from my parents this year – “try not to say things that don’t matter” sometimes NOT saying something is a form of doing good! So working on holding my tongue on those little criticisms or replacing with a compliment instead!

  2. This is the year for treating and believing that we are all equal. Acceptance. We are all deserving of love.
