fabulously lazy

I don’t believe in making resolutions I can’t keep. Being naturally lazy means I’m not going to make any major changes to my daily routine. But if I can make just a few simple little tweaks to get me motivated, I think I can beat the lazy and make sure 2010 will be a fabulous year.

1. Resolve to have a positive attitude. Be polite, smile often. Curb the complaints; if something is not to your liking, change it. If you can’t do anything about it, don’t dwell on it. Try to find the humor in life’s little mishaps.

2. Resolve to be open to new experiences. If you always go out to the same restaurants and bars, try new ones, or stay in and host a game night instead. If you always watch movies, look in your local paper to find some live theatre or a live concert to attend.

3. Resolve to learn new things. Sign up for cooking classes, dance lessons, or learn to tend bar. A class you sign up for in advance will get you out of the house, no excuses, and it will almost always lead to something fabulous.

4. Resolve to plan some social outings with friends, rather than always letting friends do all the work. When you make the plans, you don’t have the option to skip out because you’d rather be lazy and stay home. And you can make sure you all have a fabulous time, instead of just the same old thing you always end up doing.

5. Resolve to put your best face forward. Dress up, if only just a little. Put on something fabulous. Do something with your hair. Don’t worry what “everybody else” will be wearing. It’s okay to stand out from the crowd a little, and you’ll feel great.

These are some general ideas. In future posts, I’m going to go into detail on each one, share some specific ways I’ll be meeting each of these resolutions. Did you make any fabulous resolutions this year?
