In my journey on this planet now going on seventy-plus years, I have found that News Year's resolutions are an exercise in futility. At least it's been my experience, and also, the same holds true for a vast majority of the people I have been acquainted with.
Generally, the resolutions are:
- losing weight
- exercising more
- saving more/spending less
- less time on social media
- reading more
- (fill in your own)
Lofty goals or resolutions or just small steps seem to have disappeared or have been neglected by Valentine's Day (if not sooner).
One way I've found to incorporate the values inherent in the resolutions is to take them one day at a time. Make minor changes every day that become habits. Write them down. Get an accountability partner.
Most of all, make sure you have "buy-in," which means you must sincerely want them. Goals and resolutions must become part of the day-to-day thought process of your life.
Hopefully, this helps. If not, there is always next year.
