Pass me the resolve…
Two thousand and ten has moved aside to welcome in the new year and now’s the time when we all start analysing our lives and achievements (or lack of). It’s been a funny year. I moved house four times. I watched my little brother get married. I got sacked.
I made friends, I missed friends, I lost friends.
I made rubbish decisions, brilliant decisions, brave decisions and drunk decisions. (although it turns out those four things aren’t mutually exclusive)
I’ve gone from one job to two jobs to no jobs and back again. I’ve learnt that far too often the things I hate about myself come to the surface and that if I could grow a moustache it would be a handlebar.
So that was last year. I don’t make resolutions. I don’t give anything up for lent and I don’t normally try to improve myself. (not for some misguided belief that I can’t be improved, I am fully aware I have plenty of room to manoeuver on that point) But this year is different, I have two resolutions.
Resolution One:
Learn Moderation (not solely, but especially in regards to alcohol)
I’m a bit all or nothing. I generally think if you are going to do something you might as well do it properly, launch yourself into it completely or don’t bother in the first place. There are no half measures. This is good when it comes to the boring things in life like budgets, cleaning etc no so good when it comes to the fun things in life. I do drunk maths. Drunk maths goes a bit like this: I have drunk (x) drinks, I feel this level of happy (y) multiply the drinks by 2 and you get double the happy. It’s a good notion. But it’s wrong. Double the drinks usually equals a hangover and a sinking sense of shame. For new year I give up drunk maths.
Resolution Two:
Stop over thinking.
Sometimes things just are. Sometimes running through every possible outcome in your mind is a little excessive. Sometimes you should probably just get on with it. In 2011 I shall be just getting on with it
