The Ultimate guide to New Years Resolutions
Have You Planned Your New Year’s Resolutions?:
“Simply and straightforwardly, the secret to achieving your goals is to turn them into habits.
You know what habits are. They’re activities we engage in without really thinking about them because “it’s just what we always do.” Nobody was born with habits ingrained in their psyche. Behavior is first learned, and then later becomes habitual. So, how do you turn goals into habits? You must train your mind into engaging in the desired behavior on a regular basis.”

6 Guilt-Free Steps To Review Your New Year Resolutions:
“The end of the year is always a good time for me to review my resolutions and take stock of what I have done over the past year.
However, for some people, reviewing New Year resolutions can be a painful affair. Some of you may have goals unaccomplished. A resolution review is just a stark reminder of how little you have achieved. ” [from lifehack.org]
Should You Write a Personal Mission Statement?
“Your personal mission statement should be a concise representation of what’s most important to you, what you desire to focus on, what you want to achieve, and, ultimately, who you want to become. In its purest form, it’s an approach to your life, one that allows you to identify a focus of energy, creativity, and vision in living a life in support of your inner-most beliefs and values.” [from dumb little man]

What a sweet thing to happen upon your blog and find all this creative juice. Thanks so much for the link to the article. Now: I must snoop around a bit…
Thanks for linking to The Diary Project, I’m glad you found the project inspiring.
Great links!
What a lovely blog! I have only recently found it and look forward to looking through your posts. I’m going to start by digging into all these great links. I’ve just stared a blog myself to move me along, so I know what you mean by being inspired by the new year!
[…] I just re-read some of the links I collected in last years goal setting post and found Alison’s post To resolve or not to resolve, where she wrote about how a set of rules really appealed to her. Isn’t it great how different we are? I hate rules and what took me through this year of Art Cards where that I hadn’t invented any rules to follow. But reading her post this year made me notice something new, and it was about writing. She wrote about her husband Andrew and how he wrote a daily poem for a whole year. Scribblings in a notebook. Reading that just makes my gut jump. That’s a route I want to go, and I’ve got the perfect notebook for it. A small, hand bound beautiful notebook with a pink cover and blank pages. I got this wee notebook for Christmas from my cousin Charlotta and I just know it’s perfect for poetry! I was just thinking how much I wanted to start filling it up, but had no idea with what… Poems will be the perfect stuffing for this tiny book as I think it’s to small to become a good diary friend.
