never look back

i am always looking back! i love reflecting on happy memories and experiences from my childhood, teenage years or even what happened last week and then sharing these with other people. (just take my blog for example, it's almost all about the past!) but i sometimes tend to dwell on the past in a negative way, wishing i could have done something differently. so this year i am trying to focus on looking forward. onwards and upwards we go! i'm going to stop spending time worrying about the fact that i didn't exercise yesterday or that i've spent too much money on something. instead i'll head out the door then and there and go for a walk or make a more conscious effort to save my pennies. the past has been and gone, no amount of thinking about it can change things, but i can choose to do it differently today, in the present. of course you can not 'never look back' but you can choose what you look back on. i'm hoping to channel my energy into what my future holds. people, places, opportunities, new things. this is just one of my many 2012 resolutions. a little more meaningful than 'grow my hair long'!
