MY New Years Resolutions... so I do not forget
1: If it isn't fun, does not make me better, does not better my environment, or those around me... I am not doing it.
2: I am going to try to step outside myself (an my immediate environment)to be more conscious of everything.
3: I am going to try to read at least 1 book every couple of months. I do believe I can learn faster by surfing the internet but there is something to be said for relaxing with only 1 distraction... a good book.
4: I am going to try to keep in touch with distant friends and family members. I suck at staying in touch with those outside my office. I have become a work-a-holic.
5: I am going to eat healthier and promote it among people I love. Life is too short to keep putting toxins in our bodies.

Here are some good tips on how to eat healthier via wholeliving.com
1. Make 2012 your healthiest year yet. Increase your consumption of fruit, vegetables and cut down on starch- based carbohydrates.
2. Eat more super foods. These include antioxidant rich foods including: strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, tomato’s capsicum, salmon, walnuts, beetroot, carrot, avocados, etc. These foods boost the immune system, fight off cancer cell production and prevent heart disease.
3. Eat less meat. Try incorporating “Meatless Monday” into your diet, and have at least one meat free day per week.
4. Make your kitchen healthier. Stock your fridge and pantry full of fruit, vegetables, lean protein and legumes so you are not tempted to snack on junk food and can always be sure you have the ingredients to make a healthy dinner.
6. Always eat breakfast and if you can make it a ritual to incorporate a piece of fruit into your breakfast every morning.
7. Eat more nuts! Nuts are a potent super food rich in essential fatty acids which fight off harmful free radicals in the body. They are also full of protein and are a great snack. Try walnuts or almonds chopped and topped on yoghurt for breakfast or in a salad.
8. Cut down on alcohol- try and keep the booze to the weekends only.

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.— Neil Gaiman
