Just curious. What was your 2012 New Years Resolution?
How long did you keep it?
What happened to make you lose it?


I'll go first. Mine was to be more honest with myself and other people in how I was actually feeling about things. A couple of examples: I used to play nice and let things ride, then when it got to me and resentment/irritation built up, throw a fit in anger. That wasn't working out for me. Or I wouldn't tell someone I don't want to eat there and would just ride along and be miserable.

So I started speaking up. Saying something early on when I first had the chance and/or nipping things in the bud when something was bothering me was really a healthy move. I'm not so irritated, I can still be nice about it and I learned people are actually better than okay with that. Now I feel more respected, happier and have a lot less drama!!

(I'll admit I haven't done it every single time, but I learned it had more positive than negative results).

Your turn!
