A Year of Resolutions

So I got to thinking about new year's resolutions, it being a new year and all. It seems that trying to hold myself to an entire year of one resolution is a bit overwhelming. It occurred to me that one month of one resolution would be doable...and maybe each one would stick. I read or heard somewhere that it takes 33 days to establish a habit. A month is pretty close :)

I decided I should use the SMART goals format...specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. These goals are simple...very simple but I've decided that's ok.

In January, I resolve to take care of my back. I will do this by following the stretches and exercised I learned in physical therapy last year. I will stretch two times every day. I will do the exercises three times per week. I will be mindful of my posture. I will get up from my desk at least once every hour...even if I have to set a calendar reminder.

So there you have it...let's get going!
