2010: A Year of Attention to Detail

During the last year I have made many broad strokes in changing my lifestyle.

In making these changes, I have lost my attention to detail.  To a large extent, forgetting about the details has been a positive change.  I am less concerned with perfection and more focused on doing.  I am no longer stifled by my fear of uncertainty in my lack of knowledge or understanding.  Instead, I have been able to learn as I go, figuring things out when I get there.  Despite the lack of stress and worry, I have ignored the most important aspect of my life; myself.

In 2009, my focus was to get out of debt, simplify my life and pursue my dreams.  I have made great strides toward frugality and minimalism but in the process my health, fitness and appearance have all suffered.  This year I will refocus my attention on these aspects of my life in addition to further pursuing the ideas of frugality and minimalism.

2010 is the year that I continue to pursue my dreams and ambitions but also remember to focus some of that attention inward on myself.  It is easy to forget about some of the most important aspects of our lives when we focus so much on seeking external successes and accomplishments.

Stayed tuned for more details about how I plan to improve these aspects of my life in the coming weeks and remember to take care of yourself in the New Year!
