Anyone got any New Year's resolutions?

Fill the freezer and have fun doing it.

I sort of had an awakening in December. I had gone on a weekend deer hunt and had a great time, and when I pulled into work 6AM Monday morning all I could think about was the experiences from the weekend.

Then work started. And it was busy, and stressful, and enduring. I didn't get out until 530 and had skipped lunch. When I got back to my vehicle I remembered what I was thinking about and feeling when I pulled in, and how it was so different from what I was thinking about and feeling when I was leaving. I went all day without thinking about anything I really cared about, like my family, or friends, or personal pursuits. I concluded that work wasn't "real" or important in the sense that my family was actually real and important.

I'm not really sure what the action is, but I think I've resolved not to take work so damn seriously. I don't envision that I'll be less productive or act any differently, or apply myself less or give less effort, I just really don't want work to pile stress on me such that it impacts the important parts of my life. I guess I resolve to not emotionally invest myself so much.

There is a negative cultural connotation to say I'm not going to give my work 100% of myself... but to truly give 100% all the time is not sustainable. It leaves no time to pursue passions, ( not all of us are fortunate enough to have work and our passions align) and to take care of families and ourselves. If I'm beat down and fryed at the end of the work day, I don't want workout, I'm irritable and short with my family. Find the balance to be able to be exceptional at work, but save enough for you and home. Good on you for being mindful of where your at, and good luck on your journey of piecing it together. Your not alone in the place you are in!

I missed an elk high, I hit one high and didn't kill it, I missed a whitetail buck high. I can shoot the shit out of a block target but apparently I shoot high on real animals. I'm going to fix that this year.

Better cardio is always at the top of my list.

I’m going to get into better shape for sure I took a beating this year during hunting season. Also going to shoot my bow as much as possible. And I really want to get an elk.

Better shape for sure!

More well rounded fitness efforts to avoid injury. Chasing gainz in squat ended badly last year. All healed up and ready to rock and roll.

More daily structure for the sake of family, kids, etc. Fitness, homework, dinner, play all on time.

More money for the long haul. Add a new client or two for additional revenue to the top line. Fire the bad client or two.

1. Hunt 4 states for mule deer (come on NV draw!)
2. Keep living cheap so I can hunt like a maniac.

I’ll hold myself to this every day of January. Probably won’t continue it the rest of the year. I like doing this kind of thing whenever I have an excuse to make life interesting. I’ll probably fast the last 5 days of January as well. It makes me laugh when people talk shit about this kind thing as a fad or whatever. They’re just making excuses to protect their routine. I can’t understand why people blow up 50 pounds overweight every winter to just panic in the spring and have to crash diet. We all need motivation. Lets set goals, and hold ourselves accountable.

I just finished my January challenge, and the 5 day fast. I feel really good. It was a good check to tighten up my discipline. Forcing myself to do things I don’t normally do, like yoga and meditation, has shown me how beneficial they are. I’m going to keep it all going into the rest of the year, however I will allow myself to take a day off once in awhile from any of the 4 disciplines. Keeping up an everyday no matter what type schedule is difficult and unnecessary long term.

I am going to make some accommodations for my aging body and failing eyes.
I am going to upgrade my boots to some serious mountain wear
Going to invest in some quality rain gear, likely Helly Hansen impertech
Get some new glasses with fog proof lenses.
Finally going to buy a scope that cost more than the rifle it is mounted on so I can see the last half hour of the day. Right now I am leaning towards a Leupold VX 5HD 3-15x44 CDS
