New Years Realisations

Yes, as the title suggests this year I am not making any resolutions because I always break them. So instead I've come up with some realisations instead. Things I need to face up to and sort out before another year goes by and I end up in the same situation 365 days from now.

1. I eat, therefore I am fat
   This has been a long running issue in the life of me. I eat too much of the wrong things. In fact I just plain eat too much. So this year I'm going to make a change or 3 to stop that. I'm not going on a temporary diet, I'm going on a life change instead, something I can stick with. I don't mind if I lose 10 stone or 10 lbs but if I do it in a way that means it's sustainable I'll be happy. I'm going to cut out the crap, make sure I'm hydrated and eat more fruit and veg.

2. I can play fetch as good as the next dog
   I have now sat on my arse for the best part of a year waiting for things to happen or come my way served on silver platter with no effort or assertiveness expressed on behalf of myself. Ok, I've had the vacation now I need to get back on track with making the things I want to happen happen because of my own efforts.

3. I'm not glue, I don't have to be stuck to anything
   And my career has been a major sticking point throughout 2005. I have come to the conclusion that ultimately the degree I took wasn't the key to the career I wanted to do. I'm not a desk jockey, never have been if I face up to facts which would explain why I move jobs on an annual basis, because my God it's boring! I've got as far as figuring out I need a social interaction job, and if it involves outside work then all the more better. Now I just need to narrow it down that what might be the most of interest to me. Answers on a post card please, but in the meantime I'm going to make a concerted effort to abandon the desk and get out there to try different things.

4. Time is naturally of the essence
   I'm 29 this year, and on an optimistic guesstimate of living till I'm 70 that means I've only got 14,965 days to make the most of everything this planet and this existence has to offer. I want to do scary things, fun things, risky things, stupid things and be sensible about things to the point whereby I don't feel I've wasted my time. I also want an IPOD :)

So there you have it, my 2006 realisations - I wonder what I can accomplish by this time next year?
