Resolution for 2010

This time of year is when everyone talks about making resolutions for the new year.  I was considering not making any because I rarely follow through with them.  I have found myself to be more of the “glass is half empty” type rather than the “glass is half full” type, so I have decided on a resolution to be more positive.

I truly believe that being more positive or optimistic will help with a number of factors, such as, more confidence, better overall health (better food choices/exercise more) and enhanced urge to learn.

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” – Winston Churchill

Now that I have this newfound optimism, I have been looking for resources to give me more ideas as well as help me stay positive…no matter how bad things may get . Below are some sites that I feel I will continue to reference through my endeavor.

• Happiness Project
• Zen Habits
• Penelope Trunk’s Brazen Careerist
• Illuminated Mind – Live on Your Own Terms
• Positivity Blog
• Quick and Dirty Tips (Grammar Girl, Money Girl, Nutrition Diva, Get-It-Done Guy, The Public Speaker)

I am optimistic that my resolution will help me with the following: 1) Be a better wife/daughter/sister/friend.  2) Continue to do well in school.  3) Learn more to help with my career.

Most important, being more optimistic should make me more happy, which is my goal.

I wish you a prosperous 2010
