Spin Your Resolution – Spiel the Beans Linkup
As 2016 is coming to a close, Katy and I thought a little spin on your resolutions would be fun! Instead of choosing resolutions of what you would like to see yourself do in 2017 we thought spinning the resolution and sharing what you will resolve NOT to do in 2017 would be fun. Y’all, seriously I should think so much more about choosing these prompts because sometimes it is much harder than it first appears! This one was a real head scratcher for a bit but I think I have finally figured it out.
In 2017 I would like to see myself, and my family, resolve not to waste!
Having a very blessed year can definitely bring peace of mind but it can also lead to becoming just a tad lax in following closely to a budget. We have definitely been spending without necessarily discussing our budget and justifying a few purchases that may not have been exactly timely. Its time to reevaluate some of the “big” things we really want such as family vacations, investing in property and finishing off home upgrades instead of wasting money on purchases which are not so long term like clothes and expensive meals. I resolve to waste less money in 2017!
Quality time with family, friends, faith and time self care is also on the top of my list but most days my schedule does not necessarily reflect any of these as my number one. By not managing my time well it is so easy to feel frazzled and unproductive and I end up wasting so much time. I resolve to waste less time in 2017!
What are you resolving NOT to do in 2017? Share your resolution and link up with us today!
Katy and I would love to thank all of you who have linked up with us in 2017 for Spiel the Beans! We are hoping to “release” a new linkup for 2017 soon so stay tuned.
Cant wait to see the new linkup info. I have a planner that I need to feel up! I could go for wasting a lot less this coming year too!
Great resolution, friend. I just love it. It made me think about what I will not do in 2017 and all these things came flooding in my mind but they are generally stuff I cannot control so I'm going to ponder on this some more and maybe just steal your 2017 goal. But I will keep digging! xoxoxox
Love this idea. In years past I have chosen a word for the year. This gives me something to think about.
I should totally add not being wasteful to my list! I have a tendency to fill my time and closet with things that consume me but I need to fill that space with things that make me happy. And this was a hard topic for me too!
I LOVED today's prompt. Great resolutions, I loved the one about wasting money. That can be so tricky for me sometimes. I am also looking forward to the new link up info. Spiel the Beans was a lot of fun this year. Have a great day Shelly!
That is such a great resolution! One of my biggest ones is to save and simplify!
That is such a good resolution! We've been more strict with our budget and I've been amazed at how much we have saved!
Wonderful resolution! I've been thinking the same thing these last few days. Looking over all our receipts from Christmas and the last month I thought of all the ways we could have cut back and saved for a really great family vacation instead.
I love the spin on resolutions! I can attest, especially at this time of year, to easily spending money on things that won't last or aren't in the budget! Definitely want to get back on track with the new year!
I'm really going to work on intentional spending this year! The wasteful things add up fast!
My resolution is definitely to resist the impulse purchases and buy things I love. I am tired of wearing something a few times and then throwing it in my donate pile! Such a waste of money!
