I am not one to make a list of resolutions with the turn of the new year. It just feels burdensome. That doesn’t mean I’m not keen on the idea of self-improvement. I’m fully committed to that whether it be learning something new (besides improving my writing skills I’m also working on learning French thanks to Rosetta Stone; an excellent program, by the way) or changing something about myself that needs a bit-o-tweaking. I just try to do it more as an ongoing project rather than a “it’s January 1st – let’s do this thing” kind of thing. Consequently I usually skip articles or blogs that say things like, “Top 10 Resolutions You Must Do This Year.”

But my friend Lisa Miller shared a blog post with me related to making new year’s resolutions and this one resonated with me. It is One Powerful Word 2012: A Simple Approach to New Year’s Resolutions and I liked it so much I thought I’d share it here. It is on the Always Well Within blog by Sandra Pawula. I hope you enjoy it.
