Have a one word resolution for 2009

only one month left from 2009 and I really have to say, I chose the right word – it was “fearless”. It helped me a lot to think about it when I was in a complicated situation or when I was nervous. As when I heard I have to give a talk at the job interview. Or when I had to bring my car to the car repair and I hated the mechanic gay.

It is really necessary to choose a new word for 2010? This will be a very exciting year for me, I have to change the town, the job, the appartment… everything. So there are a lot of reasons why I could be afraid. maybe I will use my old word for 2010, too. But I’m still thinking about it =)

was helping me a lot during the last two weeks. I had to give this big presentation in front of a lot of experts of my project. When I thought about the presentation during the preparation of the talk – it made me feeling sick. In these moments my word “fearless” helped me a lot to keep calm =) and a lot of valerian worked too, of course =) I gave the presentation last week and everything went very well. I got praised from some people and made some very helpful, friendly contacts. So I can say, it was totally worth it to be fearless =)

I didn’t think about my word (Fearless), because I was in vacation and everything was going well. Puh – but now I have to use my word again to encourage myself. In only two weeks I have to give a presentation instead of my prof in front of all the experts on my research field. And of course I am affraid. I have the give the talk in English, of course and I’m scared that I don’t find the right words. And what can I do when they don’t like my presentation? I’m representing not only project, I’ll represent my boss. huiihui. I really have respect about this. To not flip out about it I use my word again (and of course some valerian pills=) wish me luck =)

I have to say thank all of you for the inspiration and the motivation to find a one word resolution for this year. My word is “fearless”. I use it as a mantra during the last weeks and it helped me so much! There are all of these little daily situations, you know when you have to call somebody or to do the unloved task at first. And I realize how often and in which way I sabotage myself. So I’ll continue to be fearless =)

I need power and curiosity and self-confidence. I have to find a job I’ll love. I want to move in with my boyfriend (for that I’ll need some extra portions of tolerance and patience ;). I want to get my articles published finally, which lie on the desk of my boss for over a year now. I want to be successfull doing my dinstance study program. I want to continue with my sport exercises.

You see, a lot of hard tasks are waiting for me next year. I decided that the guideline for 2009 will be “No fear” or to say in one word “fearless” – hoping to be less afraid of everything can help me to reach my goals and to be happy about it.
