New Year's Unresolutions

To do or not to do. Not to do is what Patanjali wanted the yogi to do. The first two of eight limbs of yoga refer to ethical guidelines in matters of the self and in society. They are all about undoing, letting go, doing less.  

For the New Year, I resolve to follow her advice:

Do less in order to create more space. Speak less so that I may hear more. Let go of the past to make room for the tomorrow. Get rid of, so that I may gain. Simplify to to allow for creativity.

What do you resolve not to do?
