Thread: New year promises

Hmm, after scanning through everyone's resolution I figured I should set one too.

- Improving my Cantonese so I wouldn't sound like an idiot when I go to Hong Kong the next time.

- I shall try turning back to the straightforward me again!

When I hear a funny joke, I won't reply with "lol".

reinstall my netbook
learn lucid dreaming
learn flair
learn bass
confront my daemons
travel to the past an change my present

I have a 2011 new year's resolution, made yesterday, to get rid of this small bit of stomach and thigh fat that's been plaguing me for the last 6 years (and appeared after I went off adderall and was finally hungry for the first time again). And I exercised so much yesterday I'm hurting today, so yeah, I'm not going to stop. I've honestly just never really tried much. I'd try, but stop caring within a couple days and get hungry before bed and it would all be over.

Happy New Year!
Now it's time not to break the new year promises

I'm not gonna smoke pot for a whole year. ... maybe.
I'm also gonna get back in shape and run the Steamtown Marathon again. This one is more likely

Made these a few days ago... let's see how long I can stick to them ¬_¬

- Get some decent grades in the GCSE exams I'm doing this year.
- Get to bed earlier so I'm not always late for school.
- Get my act together and study a foreign language that is not French, preferably Swedish. And also practice my French more.
- Don't stress as much over various stupid little things.
- Try to be nicer to people and not be moody and aggressive most days.
- Get more exercise
- Start Lucid Dreaming again!

never go to wallmart again.

- Make all possible entries in my DJ, even if I'm late to work and can only write a few words.
- Clean up all the random stuff around the house and organize it so that I can find what I'm looking for. ...eBay all of the crap I don't need.
- Complete my transition to a 100% organic diet and improve the balance of my intake of meats, vegetables, fruits, grains, and dairy.
- Identify and anchor a non-standard, non-binding relationship with someone. ...at a minimum, find a good reliable fuck buddy.
- Fix all the little issues with my truck that I have been neglecting over the last few years.

None. This way I won't be disappointed.

Work out daily.

- improve my French
- travel
- make my ultimate sexual fantasy a reality

So, how did it go with New Years promises?

For me the lucid dream training has been in periods. Forgot it for a few months, then picked it up and continued a few weeks or so until I lost it once again.
During this year, I've had about 4 lucid dreams..

The other new years promises I'd, was to be more social and to be more healthy.
THIS, I success great in. Been loads more social, got me a GF at the beginning of the year too, soon 1 year with her.
And started pump at the gym for about 4 months ago, and I'm still addicted and will keep going.



For this next new years promises, I will try take up lucid dreaming once for all.
In lucid dreaming, I will succeed doing the following:

* Writing dream journal daily, if I don't remember, I will write "I did not remember my dream" (but in my language) anyway.
(this of course, might not be possible EVERY single day, depending on situation, if I wouldn't have any paper/pen at that time or in super rush)

* Remembering to make reality checks everytime I wake up, to prevent false awakings

* Practise All Day Awareness and do reality checks during days. Not everyday, but I will put reminder to keep doing it every week atleast.

I had to check the last page to even remember what mine were. Coincidentally, I have done none of these things.



Get properly in to LD'ing again. - Nope, although recently I have started trying again.

Get a better job. - Nope, unemployed and quit the job I did have to travel lol

Get excellent marks at Uni. - Ended up not going to Uni coz it cost way too much.

And stop being such a fucking pussy. - Actually, I guess I've gotten a bit better

Okey

Well, also I wrote "New years promises". Didn't knew it was called "new year's resolutions" or so.

Anyway, nobody else who wanna share their new year's resolutions? It's about 3:40pm (15:40) here. So not very many hours left to 2013 for me
Also, I happend to have a lucid dream for 2 nights ago already started with my new year's resolutions by trying to remember write down the dreams when I wake up, and making reality checks.

Gonna get my shit together this year.

How it's going with the new year resolutions?

For me, I had these:

* Keep dream journal daily [COMPLETE] (or well, I'ts an habit and I'm sure it will keep up)
* Reality check when I wake up (haven't succeed to remember that)
* Practise All day awareness (haven't succeed to remember that)

So 1/3 is done, but it's still lots of months left.
But I really will keep on trying to remember reality check at mornings when I wake up, I believe soon I may have a false awaking and then it's really needed.
Also to practise all day awareness.
