Cultivating interests in 2012
New year resolution thoughts, in no particular order.
- Rather than making goals or resolutions this year, I’m going to be more intentional about cultivating specific interests.
- My current interests are:
- Behavior change
- Habits
- Mentoring, and being mentored (inspired by Diana Kimball)
- “Good” gamification
- Life lists
- Non-violent communication
- Radical honesty
- Transparency (recently re-inspired by Avi Muchnick)
- Meditation
- Sustainable health (good example from Summer Tomato)
- Awesome mornings (via Tony Stubblebine)
- Blogging
- I have an idea for combining interest-cultivation with mentoring that I hope to explore on a meta-level with all of this.
- The reason to focus on interests rather than goals or resolutions, for me, is to place the emphasis on the enjoyable elements rather than the expected results. Sure, I’d like to weigh less, but the only way to get there and stay there is to find new enjoyment in healthier eating habits, a clearer head, and a less of a eating/drinking-to-self-medicate mentality.
- I’m gonna create a hashtag for each of my interests, and track thoughts, articles, etc that come up. Then I can collect them on busterbenson.com and see how my interests progress, wax, wane, etc.
- If it’s interesting enough, I’ll open it up to others.
- That is all.
