no more new year resolutions
Dec 30, 2008 | inspiration | permalink
Why do so many of us wait until New Year's Day to resolve to change an aspect of our lives? Is it because making a resolution on January 1st is traditional? If so, breaking a New Year resolution seems pretty traditional too.
If we really want to change something in our lives, why delay? Why not begin straightaway?
Would a daily resolution be easier to keep than a yearly one? 24 hours is a lot more achievable than 365 days. Even if the same resolution needs to be re-stated day after day after day.
And there's another thing. Why is it that I end up thinking about New Year resolutions for less than 10 seconds at one minute past midnight on January 1st? Surely resolving to change one's life (presumably for the better) deserves more time, thought and energy than that?
I'm done with New Year resolutions.
