I'd never stick to it like most New Year's resolutions, but it would be nice.
I want to be able to leave things be.....
I want to be able to not rethink every little thing I do and continue rehashing it in my head whether I can change it or not. Just accept it and go on. Every time I buy something, say something or do something I rethink it. Maybe if I hadn't bought that my budget wouldn't have scared me so much this month. Did I say that as nice as I could have or did I say something or get as excited about something for someone as I should have? I would like to be a little easier on myself from time-to-time. I am definitely my own worst critic.
I would like to be able to let things go with the kids misbehave or get off-track a bit. Not give them a speech for one low paper and remember Bs are find and it doesn't mean they won't get into college just because they're capable of As, but get Bs. Let them have a chance to be responsible for their own grades without constantly feeling like I have to remind them of where they are in the quarter. I am doing a little better on that, but it's difficult.
I would just like it if I were a little more laid back and able to have fun and enjoy life just a little bit more and quit worrying over every little thing and how those small things are going to affect my life down the road. I'd like to let that stuff go.
I need to let all of this go so I can enjoy the now and not worry about the then so much. Worrying a little is fine, but I can worry to extreme, though I have been working on this and have gotten a little, itsy bit better.
This is a lot of work for a Type A person, so pray for me PLEASE! :)

Hey, I'm type A too! Here's my advice: the true issue regarding the high failure rate of keeping New Year's Resolutions, it doesn't really offer up the goods on how to work through the accountability issues which is the number one cause of failure.
Resolution Velcro is launching soon. It's our way to help people make more personally meaningful resolutions and keep them. Keeping New Year's resolutions can change your life in small and big ways, but you have to understand the personal change process in order to be successful. Check us out!
