2011 Claims

i prefer to call them claims than "resolutions" as the latter seems so forced....so permanent.... !!!

in actuality I rarely RESOLVE (consciously. logically) to do something and THEN act accordingly... instead i somehow convince myself...through guilt or trickery and guile... unconsciously... consciously...subconsciously (are there any other kinds?)... with outlandish statements ("i'm never partying again" ... "I will not eat sweets until easter"),  wild claims that are the extreme of what i want to achieve-- that somehow, with focus and self-control, get broken down and proliferate into my new life. the new me. the upgrade.  

this year i'm simplifying it as my astrologer told me not to overwhelm myself with so many goals and to focus (just kidding -- 'twas just my "horoscope" app ... gotta love smartphones) :) 


CLAIM #1
READ MORE. minimum 1 book a mth. 
i adore reading but have completely fallen out of it - tis absurdly TRAGIC. 

CLAIM #2
USE my word of the day. daily. another thing that has fallen off...sadness

CLAIM #3
RELAX. try to regain sleep habits of normal people. convince myself i am neither a mecca nor a vampire.

CLAIM #4
FOCUS

CLAIM #5
CONTROL my temper


Je Ne Regrette Rien’
