My simple choices

Until now I had never made a resolution at New Years, ever.

Partly because everyone I knew without exception broke theirs within a week of making them, and partly because I was lazy. I couldn’t be bothered to put that much thought into something that was doomed to failure.

So what’s difference this year?

In short, timing.

Recently I’ve been cutting down on my procrastination by not putting off decisions to do things. Going raw was one such decision. I was planning on waiting until I had used the groceries I had just bought, then I realised that if I did that I would just put it off until some other excuse came up.

There is also the fact that I am simplifying everything, which makes the choices on what to resolve much simpler. I also want to try a little experiment.

Instead of making New Years Resolutions I will be making a services of Choices. The idea is the same but choices are something that I make and stick to all the time. Resolutions seem to be thing destined to be forgotten or inevitably broken.

So for now, here is the list of my New Years Choices each of which will be explained in more detail in the coming weeks.

1. To weigh  myself weekly and post my weight, body fat and total body water over at theuncookeddiet.com.
2. To follow a 100% raw diet (with the caveat that I can leave my diet only to convenience others, I don’t want people who invite me out for dinner to have to panic at the thought of preparing an uncooked meal)
3. 100 Things
4. 100 Mile UnCooked Diet
5. No more being bored
6. No more procrastination
7. Write often
8. Read often
9. Write letters

That’s about it for Choices at the moment, as I said earlier I will go into a bit more detail over the coming weeks on the whys and the wherefores of each Choice. But for now, Happy New Year to you all. If you want to share your Resolutions or try making Choices of your own, please don’t be shy, I’d love to know what you want to change about your life or habits and why.
