I soon came to realize that after I turned the dreaded 30 I actually did not feel any different.
I felt nothing.
I have to admit I was extremely disappointed. It seems like such a milestone that had passed.
Then I came to the sudden realization that change only comes when you change something, so I decided to make some written commitments.
It is my 30/30 project.
In my 30th year I vow to make some changes in my life:
1) I commit to losing 30 pounds in my 30th year.
I feel like it is definitely the time to get in shape and change my lifestyle and eating habits.
2) I commit to corresponding with 30 people in my 30th year.
I feel like I am the worst pen friend ever. I have the hardest time writing letters and thank you notes so now it is time to step that up a notch. This does not include any emails, instant messaging or Christmas cards. This also gives me a great excuse to buy beautiful stationery!
3) I commit to writing a list of 30 things once a week that I would like to accomplish in that week.
I need to be more organized. This will help.
4) I commit to writing down 30 things that I would like to accomplish before I turn 40!
This sounds extreme but they will be BIG ticket items!
5) I commit to reading a book every 30 days
(unless it is super long!).
This means that I would have read at least 12 books in my 30th year. I need to catch up on this one.
6) I commit to writing 30 things every 30 days of things that I am grateful for, that I love and that have been an inspiration to me.
There you have it. It is written.
