For myself:

1. I just started a new job and hope to get it more organized.

2. I need to gain a new perspective on nursing as a whole so that I can approach it with a fresh mind/outlook.

3. Cont my weight loss journey.

4. Change my overall attitude towards stressors in my life and establish better-coping skills.

So...how about you??

1. Kick ass in my first and second semester of nursing school

2. Be kinder to myself

4. Be a better friend

5. Lose some weight

To leave my current job which I HATE ( I have job interviews lined up already).

To finally decide if I'm going back to school and advance my nursing career or start a business degree (I'm leaning very much towards the business degree).

To work on my mental health. My current role is very stressful and I am not coping well at all. I don't eat, I can't sleep, I'm miserable. Part of that is my daily anxiety being kicked into overdrive and part of that is a crappy job.

To work with my family to make better healthier choices. We are cutting out pop (which is huge for me - diet coke is a weakness of mine), to make an effort to get to the gym, and to have fun with my kids and hubby.

Sign me up for your #2 and #3.

I am no longer in survival mode. I am ready to take a step back, take a breath, and work on my nursing mastery with additional, focused studying and CEUs.

I am down 30 pounds thanks to regular exercise and cutting back on (but not eliminating!) simple carbs. I am going to keep it up by mixing it up. I need some new fitness activities and some new recipes besides chicken breasts and stir fry veggies.

PLUS: Time to get my financial house in order. Maybe take an online financial planning class. Get out from under my loans. Figure out how to put my money to work.
