![Fresh Start: 12 Days of New Beginnings [Day 4]](https://www.getorganizedwizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/3398923323_8749470cc31.jpg "Fresh Start: 12 Days of New Beginnings [Day 4]")
I’m going to make 12 fresh starts in 12 life areas over the next 12 days.
I don’t expect to succeed at everything, but I want to give a bunch of things a try. Join me!
Day 1: Personal Development
My Day 1 Fresh Start was to raise my weights in Body Pump class for biceps and shoulders.
Report:
✔ Raised weights on days I’ve had Pump class. My form has suffered and I’ve missed some reps at the end. But that’s to be expected!
Day 2: Health & Fitness
My Day 2 Fresh Start was to give up Smith’s Cheese & Onion Chips – at least for September.
Report:
✔ Wow – three days chip-sober! This one is hard to stick with.
Day 3: Career & Business
My Day 3 Fresh Start was to begin planning out changes to my website’s homepage.
Report:
✔ Mapped out ideas over lunch with my business partner. Will have something new to try out soon. 🙂
Day 4: Fun & Recreation
Today my fresh start is from category 3: To do more of something.
I’m going to listen to more music on my iPod when out walking (usually it’s audiobooks and podcasts.) I have heaps of fabulous tracks that put a spring in my step and a smile on my face – but I hardly ever play them. So my fresh start is that at least once a week I’m going to have an all-music iPod day!
I’ll let you know how I go tomorrow – when I’ll make my fifth fresh start – in Technology & Social Media.
What About You?
Think of your own Fun & Recreation goals and plans. In what area could you:
- Start something new – or try something you haven’t done, eaten, read, or experienced before
- Give up something – maybe a habit that undermines you or an obligation that weighs you down
- Do more of something – be specific about ‘more’, but don’t be overly-ambitious
- Do less of something – be specific about ‘less’, but don’t be overly-ambitious
I hope you’ll choose something and join me!

Day 4 I thought I would quietly miss out- but then a question on Linked In had me looking for my theme tune, and instead of finding the lyrics I got the video! on youtube. So I watched that 3 times, and emailed myself the link.
Nearly 5 days chip-sober – record 4me. All thx 2my fresh start & being accountable 2my cool readers! http://is.gd/2U0S4
2day’s fresh start: listening 2 fun music! Nine 2Five/Parton, Whenever Wherever/Shakira, Fame/Cara 🙂 http://is.gd/2SnXw
Day 1 (meditation) and day 2 (eat less!) are going fairly well. Day 3 didn’t happen, but as I’m not in the business world, I’ll not beat myself up over that. 😉
Day 4: More music! I agree with you on this one. I have a perfectly good iPod that sits in a drawer much of the time. It’s coming out today.
US holiday coming up (Labor Day, Monday Sept. 7), so I won’t be commenting again until Tuesday. Off to have fun with friends!
