- Continue employing "Wise Mind" awareness. I will not ignore the signs if I find myself starting to slip, I will catch myself and work on climbing back up without placing any blame on myself.
Did
really well with this. There are always little slip ups but I'm taking them a lot better and not really blaming anyone- getting much better at realizing stressful situations vs. someone's "fault".
- Decrease negative statements about myself and stop feeling guilty when people offer to help me with things.
Negative statements need work still- I fall back a lot on self deprecating humor. Accepting help has been easier- just trying to remain grateful and express that gratitude. The wedding helped a LOT. If you can do that stuff alone, you are superhuman.
- Start using Dave Ramsey's money management method. Don't get angry if it doesn't work right away.
Started it a little bit! I wanted to jump right into the debt snowball and skip the $1K of savings. Turns out, my circumstances had other plans. I'm working my way up, right now I'm at about $850. Last year, my personal savings account averaged about $8.
- Throw out 50 things.
I did this! I also bought about 50 more.....
- Try not to put off doing things you don't want to do- it will only make them worse.
I've gotten a LOT better about this. Emailing myself reminders has really helped.
- Perform more random acts of kindness.
I've done a few, but not nearly enough.
- Make more art.
I made a crap ton of stuff for the wedding and that totally counts. I also painted a little more this year :-)
