Now that Christmas has passed, 'tis the season for New Year's resolutions. And as per usual, I have a few casual suggestions to offer. This year, try nixing the hackneyed vows to lose weight or exercise more, and strive for something a bit more specific. A friend of mine, for example, is swearing off of processed foods for the month of January. (For the ultimate challenge, try avoiding all genetically modified food products). But don't feel limited to dietary revisions this year. There's a whole host of creative goals ripe for the picking in 2011. Here are just a few suggestions:
-Plant a garden
-Run a local footrace
-Pick up an instrument
-Get more plants in your diet
-Ditch the desserts for a period
-Support your local economy
-Plan a wilderness escape
-Find a new favorite genre of music
-Be especially kind to strangers
-Give to a non-profit that tickles your fancy
-Read books that expand your interests
-Knit a sweater for someone
-Experiment with ethnic foods
Basically, just do something that will make your world, or someone else's a better place this year. Get out there and live.
