Cheers to 2012!

Did you make any new year resolution? This year, I decided not to make any new year resolution. Instead, I'm going to live by the following mantras:

#1 Focus my intent
I learn this from yoga. Our instructor is always telling us to clear our minds and make a commitment to ourselves for the next 90 minutes to stay in the room and in our practice. I would like to do more of that, when I'm working out, when I'm catching up with a friend, when I'm in a meeting...

#2 Be fearless
There are posters on the wall of the Facebook office that say "What would you do if you have no fear?" I spent far too many years of my life afraid to do or say things because I was afraid of what people would think of me.

#3 Be content
There is this realization that I am blessed with so much. Instead of wishing for more and focusing on what I don't have, I want to always remember to count my blessing in 2012.

#4 Live simpler
I guess this is in line with #3. I didn't want to say, "live simply" because I know I enable the occasional shopping sprees and fancy dinners every now and then. But I think there's a need for me to cut back on the constant indulgence.

#5 Eliminate waste
I want to stop wasting time, wasting resources, wasting money. Instead, I want to focus my time, resources and money on people and activities that brings happiness to me and to them.

#6 Honor my body and mind 
No more negative thinking, self-talk or self-doubt. God loves me for who I am, and I want to embrace and love myself, all size 8 of me!
