So… I’ve been stewing over resolutions for 2013 for days now and I kept coming up with blanks. Usually, I have my New Year’s resolutions sorted by day 4 or 5 at the latest. However, with a new baby and a very sensitive toddler to manage, it seems as though I have limited head space for deep thinking. Then! Last night, after having the benefit of a half decent night’s sleep, I woke with the question: What is the purpose of having a resolution??? Well for me it’s for aspects of my life that I wish to develop and help me be a better me. So, this year, I’m drafting a mini personal development plan.
A personal development plan is an action plan that focuses on the areas that one wishes to improve. I see myself as a work in progress and I’m always searching for ways to do better be better. As a mother and individual, I believe in leading by example. Based on my current limited resources here’s my short and simple plan for 2013:

A drafting a personal development plan is a relatively complex process, however I’ve chosen to make mine simple as its only for one year and I want to be realistic and achievable. Here’s to better, happier me…
