2007 doesn't have to be all about losing weight. There are a number of small things we can each do to make this year better than the last.

  1. Go local. Visit a new indie shop each month and then share your experiences here with us. Remember if the place you went isn't listed you can always add it. Plus, 2007 might be the year that karma you earn is good for something...
  2. Be a little more environmentally friendly. Newsweek has a few suggestions for you along these lines.
  3. Consider commuting by foot or public transportation once a week. Not only is it friendly to the environment but you'll also get a little more exercise this way. It might also do wonders for your stress level!
  4. Take a yoga class. If treadmills and weights are your style then look for one of the many yoga studios in your area and stop by for a class. Many offer specials for first-time students. Also be sure to look for a newbie class if you've never practiced before.
  5. Read more not blog things. Yes, it's the opposite of being more active physically. But neglecting the mind is just as dangerous. Check out this list of indie book stores and get inspired.
  6. Check your hearing! Hey, why not? Sometimes you do other things besides read this blog, right? :)

Regardless of how you go about spending your 2007, I hope you stay safe and happy!
