I really want you to focus on reading this year! Anything and everything you can get your hands on. Do you currently have a book to read when you are sitting around at home? Well, get one!!!
Try an experiment, turn off the television, computer, playstation, and Wii for just one half hour a night and read a book. If you do this right before bed, it will relax you and will help you sleep. Plus you will explore a new world!
Here are just some of my suggestions. I will add more as we go.
