New Year Resolutions are back....

[doubleshiny]

...but only if you do them in a faux ironic way, like I have done with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Otherwise you're still a lamo.

So, if you don't know what Maslow's hierarchy of need is, here's a handy diagram.




So, starting with the physiological needs :

Air : well, check. I will try to breathe more, and I will not take up smoking

Water : I am going to definitely cut down on how much bitter I drink. That stuff is calorific, plus you can get drunk just as easily on double vodka and coke, which costs the same in the pub I went to on Bad Friday this year. (PS I would like to apologise to everyone I encountered on Bad Friday this year.)

Food : I eat too much cheese. I eat more than is sensible for a human being. I will try to eat less cheese this year.

Shelter : You may be aware of the ongoing saga of the decoration of my bedroom. Well, it is almost done, I just need to paint the ceiling and buy a new bed. I resolve to achieve this before next year.

Sleep : I'm pretty good at sleep. I will get that new bed though.

Sex : Taken care of, I'm just going to read more erotic fan fiction (if that were possible)

Safety and Security

I am a very safe person so this one was hard. I might start to actually shield my pin number, even though I think that it crazy and paranoid.

Love and belongingness

I am universally loved. I can't see this changing, so again this one is difficult. I resolve to get three new friends, and I will update you as I go along.

Self-esteem

I would rate my self-esteem at about a 9. I will try for ten this year AND I will help other people to get self-esteem by being nice to them and telling them they're great.

Self-actualisation

Now this one usually takes a long time to achieve so I'm not going to push it, but I reckon I've got it sewn up within the next few years. Watch this space.

I can tag my numerous achievements in these fields so at the end of the year you can look and say "Hey! She DID cut down on cheese this year!"

Watch this space friends.
