I love the clean slate of a new year. The prospect of new beginnings, new challenges, new hopes.

We talk a lot of New Years resolutions, of ways to be better, do better, look better, accomplish more, stress less.

I started to think about any New Years resolutions I might make this year, and decided I really didn’t need any. Yes I could try to do all the above things ‘more’ or ‘less’. I could eat better, exercise more and probably drink less. But at the end of it all, in fact at the end of 2012, I am pretty happy with where I am at.

Certainly I will make more plans and goals for my business. But these will be specific and hopefully when broken down in to bite size chunks…achievable.

But in terms of my overall happiness and contentment, I think I have it pretty well sussed. At least for all those things I have control over.

I will continue to devote the majority of my time and energy to my husband and my boys, to my extended family and to my many wonderful friends. I will continue to enjoy a role in the wider community through the connections I have made with my blog and business, through my boys schools and sporting clubs and with my role as Victorian Representative of the charity, Heartfelt.

I will continue to focus on my own physical and emotional health by taking time out for myself and by taking on challenges that keep me stimulated.

So maybe its a bit of a cop out……but hey….I have no New Years resolutions to break or feel guilty about…or carry over to next year!

So to all my readers and your families, Happy New Year! I hope 2013 is a happy and healthy one for you all xx

Do you make New Years Resolutions? If so, are you good at following them through?
