I think you would be cute as a platinum blonde :-) Not out of control spending – just less obsessive worry about what will happen if I buy things that I don’t necessarily need but will make me happy.

I woke up one morning, just before Christmas (so I appreciate that this comment edges ever so slightly out of your time frame) with the overwhelming desire to want to cook. Cook, cook, cook. Anything and everything. I've shifted from ZERO interest to unabashed passion, literally over night. I've never thought about wanting to cook. In fact, I couldn't think of anything worse. Now I search out recipes from magazines, books and the library. I pore over ingredients at the local Mall. I badger my mother for tricks and tips. I can't wait to get my hands on a food processor - and have developed a pastry fetish. Go figure - I can't. And the family and friends are loving it. Moroccan tagines; Greek casseroles; Tiramisu; Home-baked pies etc. It's been the most wonderful 'overnight' Christmas gift. Bon appétit, Robin :) Hi Annabel,

Due to the fact that many people did not ACT upon the changes prior to the NEW YEAR, I think it is important to learn this lesson going forward. When there is time between the goal creation and the execution, we often lose impulse which results in doing the same thing that you have always done, while wishing for a different result. I actually wrote about this concept and would like to share it with your audience...GREAT POST ANNABEL! http://www.jaredyellin.com/2009/12/the-new-year-starts-right-now/ I think that the best time to change is when the change first enters your mind.

Yes you need to be internally motivated to follow up on your plans. Fotr example, resolving to lose weight won't work if you don't really believe you need to lose weight. Peer pressure is a big factor too. Hopefully we can find people who will help and support us in our goals. I'm hoping to provide that here too:) Gordie - Good on you for getting a head start. Keep up the good work, it's going to be an exciting and action-packed year. Connie - Brillliant that you've decided to worry less and I hope you have lots of money to spend on the stuff you really need. No, the photo's not me - I would like to have blonde curly hair for a day or two though... Tomas – Great thoughts. Yes you need to be internally motivated to follow up on your plans.

It's working so far :-) Maybe the secret to resolutions is to make them something enjoyable and/or not for perceived moral benefit. I love that photo - is that you with blonde hair???

I'm just concentrating on a few main areas and looking at this year as a foundation year of continued building on my blog and self. I have a big move coming up in the middle of the year, so I'm going to have to be prepared for the changes that will bring.

Many people go on to making changes without exploring what motivates them first. If you know yourself and know what you REALLY want in life then everything else is easy. There are many more much deeper issues as to why people cannot keep their resolutions: peer pressure, wrong environment, not spending time with oneself alone, just going through the motions and so on. Yet, the real reason is that most people have to clue what really drives and what they want to do. Best, Tomas The secret to change is knowing why you want to make the change.
