Every year around this time, well - really right after Christmas - everyone starts stammering on about New Year’s resolutions. I’ve got mixed feelings on the whole issue - while I like that it is a fresh new year and symbolically we can use it to make some changes in our lives - I also know the “stigma” that goes along with resolutions - Gym’s LOVE resolution time - everyone’s gonna go get in shape and join a gym - by mid-March, everyone is still sitting on the couch at home, watching TV and thier scales stay the same.
I have never really done any resolutions - I like to take note as to where I am in life and amongst the goals I’ve set out for myself - but if I find something that I want to fix, no matter what time of the year, I get to work fixing it. I don’t think I should wait all year for one time in the year to work on myself - I’m too imperfect to be able to fix it all in one shot!
We’ve all got things we want to change about ourselves, be it our attitude, looks, or outlook - but I would like to challenge you to start now - right now - don’t wait until a calendar says it’s time - when you find something that you don’t like about yourself, or that you want to work on - practice the ol’ firefighter’s advice - STOP! DROP! And ROLL! - meaning that you should get rolling right now on what you want to change, don’t wait!
A small change can make a huge difference, and the momentum that you gain turns it up exponentially, if you stick with it. I know it’s easier said than done, but seriously, it can be done.
Do you set resolutions at the first of every year? How does that work for you? Have you every truly followed a resolution all the way through?
