New Year Resolutions Revised!!!

:)

Well...hope everyone's new year resolutions are coming along better than mine:P

I probably broke mine while the clock struck 12 :((
I guess it was a bit too extreme for my personality type..need to take some baby steps in that direction (note to future self!)

:)
Well, lesson learnt...so some doable-self-helping resolutions coming up:

* Firstly, give some serious thought to what kind of professional image I want to build...
I mean at least get a skeletal idea in place...
6 months left for graduation...n unlike any other field where you are just a fresh chip,all full of hope & still a lot to learn before you carve a niche for yourself, Medicine is more like the minute you graduate, you r SUPPOSEDLY ready to deal with REAL LIVES (sweaty palms!!!)
~So, need to figure what kind of doc m gonna be...

*kinda go easy on the detailing....:)
Again...that's kinda attributed to my PROBLEM CHILD image :)
I realized..more I concentrate on worrying about the details, longer it takes for me to be able to see the big picture ...n from experience, that delay has cost me...a lot more than I care to admit!
~So, I now plan to basically try to get the big picture right...
If the important things fall in place, the details will fit...
n even if they don't...they wont really disrupt the important things that really matter!

*Slightly Back off in the matters of the heart!
:D
No......No troubles in paradise.....
It's just that this year I rather bring the focus on myself..as in my career n my priorities...
Frankly, the reason, m even confident to put this in my list of resolutions is because of My Awesome Bf ( I know u hate it Sweetie...it's okie..live with it!!!:P)
I don't know if anyone relates, but often in my life when I want to change my focus on personal growth, I fear that my relationships might suffer n bear the brunt of the neglect...
I realize that to overcome this insecurity , you don't need just self- belief but also a strong support system
n touch wood...I've mine in place:*
~So m planning to cash on it n give my career n myself some more focus this year!

*Spend loads of quality time with family...including the extended family!
(even the ones I am not too fond of....cos what the hell...they are family!!!:P)

I've been out of the country for over 5 years & have missed practically every family gatherings, weddings...n even those 'how-have-you-been" phone calls...
This may seem kinda over sentimental to some but I can't help but think of all the times when my parents attended family events watching other daughters with their parents...
I know how my Ma would get all misty eyed & my dad would give me a random call just to check on me...:)
~I just wanna be there for them now!!!
Anniversaries...birthdays...everything!:)
Don't mean to sound filmy but at the end of the day, "It is All About Loving Your Family ! ":D

*Have a better idea of what's going on with my friends...Everyone is soo busy with their lives and me being away does not give me the front row seats anymore in their lives...I don't want to lose out on important friendships just because of something silly like distance!

~in short be more in touch with them!
No excuses!!!!

*Get healthy...better eating habits, some form of exercise!

*Get a Good Wardrobe! (Not expensive....but GOOD!)

*Read more (anything apart from medicine...maybe venture slightly into non-fiction...I mean can't be too bad if so many adults recommend it)

* N lastly....write more...write better!!!!:P

Wish me luck!
