Well, as the new year gradually adds up it's days we tend to make promises to ourselves to change our unhealthy habits from the past years. This seems to have inspired me to slow down my age despite of the staggering stresses in my life previously.
Yes, it couldn't be denied that as the years progresses I also progressed my age eventually although there are some practices that tend to adapt ourselves to help and make us look younger. Yeah, and I will exactly do it differently in my own way.
As the year of the Rabbit sets in, it calls me to stay as quiet and reserved as the rabbit, not to mention being smart and cunning and fast. The rabbit exempifies cuteness and secrecy and discreteness as well, not to mention their being elusive when it comes to the predators around their surroundings. They perform great adaptations in their survival and are very quick to keep themselves to safety and keep themselves away from harm.
Yes, these are the traits that this year is bringing us and I know this will give me an aura to exude some of these traits when executed with wiseness, willingness, and ease. I then hope that my choices and decisions will be guided with this hints of the rabbit's characteristics: smart, cunning, quick thinking, and discretionary attitude.
This year I hope I will lessen my stress level to a minimum. I will stay away from stress provoking stimuli and will get plenty of rest to face my daily challenges with ease and credibility.
It is inevitable to completely eliminate stress in our lives so it is more realistic and pleasing to just tone it down to a minimum level thereby not bombarding myself with so much stress thus aging my body and mind a lot faster and harsher.
It's just like driving a new car and keeping it going to a very far away distances and loading it with heavy stuff to wear it out fast. For sure the car's wear and tear will be more evident because of the abuse and the way it was handled harshly and not taking care of it in a caring way. Our body will also soon wear out and aged fast as we exposed it to a lot of stress everyday.
Getting enough rest, eating a healthy food, not smoking and drink alcoholic substances are one of my goals this year to stay healthy. As well as exercising and keeping a constant activity to lose weight will also be added and executed with determination. And of course, treating my body and pampering it well from massages and mani/pedicures as well as getting good and reasonable haircuts will be an added bonus.
As we age our body also is bombarded with a lot of stresses and it's up to us to adapt a lifestyle that can help it more younger looking. And whatever you do to your body to keep it healthy it's up for your grabs.
But for me, this year promises me a lot of changes and that changes will be of my own choosing. I have to choose smartly and practice it religiously and willingly so that I will achieve my goals by the end of the year with success. And for this, starting it right now is so inspiring and little bit intimidating.
Setting goals realistically is so inspiring and I know I can make it without even pushing myself harder and making myself stressed out. Simple goals entails simple solutions and this is what I intend to do throughout the whole year.
One goal is enough for me and it will lead to a lot of ways to achieve it successfully. Life is too short, and it's high time now to make a change to make it even longer. And I hope this simple task of maintaining a stress free and healthy life will indeed the best healthy-lutions I will ever make.

New Year, New Goals
Hey guys, welcome back to my blog. Sorry for the long absence but I'm here. I was just so tied up with all my hurried responsibilities in school and at work. It's so overwhelming sometimes but it's fun.
Yes, 2011 had just got in and this is my first blog for this coming year. It's quite sad to say that last year was not that promising to me either but oh well time has to go on and I must learn from those mistakes of the past.
The year of the Rabbit entails a lot of promises and challenges and I must be receptive to all these positive and negative auras that this year has in store for me. Hopefully it would be a promising and fulfulling year.
I am hoping this year would be more better compared to the passing years. It seems that all things have to happen with a purpose and that I must learn from them. It's super challenging sometimes but I have to always feel good with every thing I do.
Now that 2011 is here it's time to set new goals again. It's quite routinary to do this but hopefully the goals will serve it's purpose well. I have not laid out any goals yet but my wish is that I hope that every thing will be all right me especially jobwise and healthwise.
With the continued emergence and resurgence of the recession I hope I could be more stable rather than unstable. I hate to say that I am so selfish about this but I know the feeling of being out-of-job for a while.
It's killing me!
I am thankful that my job is still in demand at the market and that caused me some stability financially. God forbid, I will be okay in the coming months.
Now that I am forty-one, my age is not that safe either healthwise. I must be more vigilant in what I am eating and have to do exercise religiously and keep myself very active. Yet sometimes my being a procrastinator hinder myself to get out there and move.
Sometimes, my emotional instability also contributed for me to become lazy. I had some bouts of mild depression and I always ended up hiding inside my room and do nothing but watching televison all day long without even accomplishing any chores at all.
My promise to myself for this year is to get out there and become active and be more stable emotionally, physically, and financially as well. And hopefully this promise will be kept well and not be broken. I'm crossing my fingers all the time to keep this promise.
So far, my year started well. Work is a little better and I'm kinda stable now in all aspect. There is no denying that sometimes I'm very labile yet I'm, trying myself to always stay positive, productive, and safe from harm.
And hopefully this year will be treating me nicely. God forbid! Hmm.... let's wait and see then. Take care folks and see you on my next blog.
