If you haven't seen this video yet, I strongly recommend you check it out. It's a summary of the biggest events of 2011, compiled by Google Zeitgeist. Enjoy the video, I hope that 2012 is even better for you than 2011 was!
At the beginning of last year I had a million travel plans and 10 months to fit them into. I also had a goal to complete a ski season and return to Australia and find a job using my Communications degree by the end of the year. Funnily enough, I achieved all that I set out to in 2011... and I was exhausted (but satisfied) at the end of it. So when asked myself what my resolutions for 2012 might be, I realised that although I could up the ante on my goals for 2012, I'm not sure that's the best way to make me happy.
I'm learning that it's important I don't wish my life away by constantly setting and reassessing goals and, in so doing, failing to enjoy living in the 'now'. So this year I am setting just one singular goal, which is to move out of home. Achievable (I think!). I will make 2012 a year of being content and making the 'now' the best it can be. I might decide to dabble in some french classes at the Alliance Francaise, or maybe do a community college cooking course. No matter the activity, I'm conscious that I don't just live to work, and that I enjoy my free time! I guess that's my resolution for 2012. Happy New Year.
