Kicking 2013 off in the right direction

At Auckland Skytower 31 Dec 2012 welcoming 2013

Happy New Year Everyone! :) 

So much has happened since my last post, in all honesty it has been hard to keep up with anything online but February is almost here and I won't be doing any overtime at the bank so back to three days off a week so I can do my film stuff. Enjoying my new job, I understand IMT's, The different interest rates, cards and insurances now as well as all the nitty gritty protocol things. It was crazy at first but now I have found a rhythm so loving my work at the moment. And the team is unbeatable lol, Never have I worked somewhere and liked everybody, it sure makes liking work easier :)

Went to Wellington in earlier this month for my wife's updated passport, haven't been there since I was a kid so it was a fun experience, of course we took a lot of pics which I've shared my favorites with you all below :) We had one day to do everything. And we did, Library, Te papa, swimming pool, embassy, shopping, waterfront, art gallery, I literally just chilled out the next day when we returned to Auckland, so much walking! But a very fun day :) So here's the pics, I'll open with the sunrise at Auckland airport and the sunset at Wellington Airport....

New years is always a perfect time to reflect on all that you have achieved and all that you want to achieve within a given timeframe, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to share with you my resolutions to improve myself this year and reach my goals, maybe it could spark an idea for yourself for something you'd like to try?

2013 Resolutions and New Habits

Train JKD minimum 3 times a week.

Tagalog for at least 10 minutes a day. 

Effort= you only get out what you put in.

Eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Every day, Stop skipping.

Eat healthy -protein meats, veges, fruits, sushi, etc don't turn to the easy options of Fastfood unless they are ful meals (eg thai/malaysian/chinese/sushi/roasts etc)

Drink Water and Juice, fizzy only sparingly.

Refrain from Swearing, Think before you speak.

Tidy the house up before retiring to bed at night. Start each day Tidy.

Keep car interior clean. Maintain Tidiness.

Keep work notes organized and up to date.

If you promise something, do it. Do not become a victim of excuses or procrastination.

Do one thing each day that makes you happy. (eg xbox/movie etc)

Do one thing towards your ultimate goal (actor/director) each day. A step closer is a step in the right direction and achieving your goal.

When spending money think, Do I NEED this or WANT this? Start a bigger habit of being in a saving frame of mind, your fortunes await. A dollar saved is a dollar earned.

Smile and stay positive. Drop encouraging words to friends and family. Be a good influence in their lives and the universe will return the feeling.

Don't condemn, criticize or complain. Attract the right energy. 

Remember the zen monk when things feel bad- "This too shall pass"

So life continues here at Del Casa Kinsman, Went to the beach a couple days ago keeping the relationship fun, making improvements with my sales at work, settling into training regularly and working on my script, keeping my focus on my chief of aim of being New Zealand's Ultimate Action Star. Fill you in with my next post!

 

 

 I'll also leave you with some cool motivational quotes I've come across recently, keep your mind healthy and the universe will provide ;)
