Every year, I fight the guilt that I know I am going to feel when I make a resolution and can't follow through. What constitutes a good resolution? There are lofty resolutions to be sure, but can they truly be accomplished fully? It seems that everyone makes a resolution to get in shape or lose weight. How many people ever satisfy that? Seriously? If guilt drives the resolution, sign me up to lose weight and get in the best shape of my life!
No, that just doesn't seem to fit me this year. I want to craft a resolution that is attainable and sustainable. My resolution should be an example to my teachers and students. A resolution that can be measured. No pressure at all!!
Be present. That's it! My resolution is to be present completely in every meeting, PD, face to face conversation, etc. Listen, think about, respond carefully and fully pay attention to the one speaking. Hear what they are conveying not just with words but with body language, tone, and expression.
This resolution doesn't knock your socks off, and I will try to lose weight and get in shape. I want people to know when they communicate with me, I am really there, present in that space of time.
The end.
