Starting fresh in 2014

from here

I'm so torn on New Year's resolutions.  On one hand, I think they can be kind of silly and fruitless.  You only have to go to the gym on January 2nd and then February 2nd to know what I'm talking about.  And to be honest, I don't even remember what my resolutions are by the end of the year, I just forget them.  But on the other hand, who I am to knock other people's aspirations for personal growth?  Introspection, self-awareness, and desire for improvement are qualities that make our world a better place.  Some people do stick to the resolutions, and are the better for it.  I'm all about that.

And of course there's something so appealing about a fresh slate.  Even though January 1st is just another day, it's exciting to look to the year ahead and visualize how you want it (and yourself) to pan out.  While I don't think this is year that I'll finally lose those 10 pounds I complain about, here's a few things I'd like to do more of in 2014.  Maybe writing them down somewhere will help me remember them, anyways.  :)

+ read more books instead of social media updates

+ improve my yoga practice (aka go more than once a week... twice would be a good start)

+ travel someplace new and exciting

+ go to burning man

+ develop my style of photography/ start taking more creative photos/ curate my own photo project of some sort (I'm currently inspired by this and this)

+ buy less things

Any else hoping 2014 will bring positive changes to their life?
