Not a New Years Resolution; or is it?

My New Year resolutions were always the same; lose weight, save money, start a business, pay off debt, buy a house.  I never accomplished any of them because they all sucked. They were boring. But then I would feel bad that I didn't accomplish any of the resolutions. And since I don’t like feeling bad and not a fan of boredom, I decided many years ago that New Year resolutions can fuck off. It felt great. I don’t have to wait for some specific date on a manmade calendar to start anything. However this year I want to try something new. Something fun, new and exciting.

I live in another state from my family and only hang out with one girl in the state I live in. I’m very particular about who I let into my life. I don’t like drama and bullshit; therefore my family is big enough that they’re the only friends I need. Living away from family and not having much of a social life has caused me to fall into a funk. Besides work, my husband and myself, love staying home, sleeping, mindlessly surfing the internet, staying in pajamas, eating whatever we want, watching TV. Day after day, after day, after day.  It has now amounted to years. Yes I do force myself to go out, I dress up, we travel and go home to NYC. But it’s not enough. I don’t regret all the hours I’ve spent relaxing and am not looking to remove it from my life. I’m just looking to try some of the things that have been on my live list for far too long. It will not be easy, as I’m scared to leave my comfort zone.  I don’t know the exact moment the fear of change happened but it’s time to get out of this funk. And that requires getting out of my comfort zone.  I would like to become more social and allow myself new experiences.  My Master Plan for The Evolution of Betsy Hearts is as follows:

1. Complete one“Lively” experience per month.

2. Stop keeping list of places to visit & actually visit.

3. Fit into a size 12.

4. Blog and Video my efforts.

I haven’t planned out anything. Which is something I normally would do and it would drive me mad. I don’t want to be driven mad and take the fun out of it before I even start.  Therefore I will take it one day at a time. I don’t know what will happen but here goes nothing. I will document all my efforts on this blog, YouTube and Instagram. In a few hours I will reveal the January “Lively” Experience.  Goodbye Tuesday 2013, Hello Wednesday 2014.
