I changed my goal multiple times last year, starting with drastically reducing the amount of soda I drank while greatly increasing the amount of water I drank, and ending with talking to one person a week I didn't usually talk to.
This year, it needs to be more. It needs to be all of it at the same time. What it needs to be is a healthier me, both physically and mentally. I need to keep drinking water. Now that my hours at Sears are reduced to basically nothing or even nothing, I need to exercise on my own (I walk all around the aisles on my shift, back and forth, when I'm not helping customers, and thus end up walking for between 15-30 minutes at a time), I need to stick up for myself sometimes yet not get into needless arguments, I need to let myself start buying comics again (I haven't bought any for seven months now), and even though I know I'll feel guilty about it, sometimes I need to just come right out and tell my mother than I need my space, even if it means I have to stay in my room for the evening, and I need to continue talking with people in XP, doing something about the ideas I have in my head for my characters instead of just keeping them there and doing nothing about them.
What does that mean on a weekly basis? I can't say I have a new XP idea every week, but water, exercise, and time for myself. Comics will be ordered every couple of months (I don't have a comic store, so I order them online, and it's cheaper to pay one shipping charge rather than multiple ones), and I will continue working on the ideas I have for XP, both the ones I've already discussed with people and the ones still swimming around my mind, unspoken.
