The Case For New Years Resolutions
This blog=my new years resolution. How cliche of me! At least I didn’t jump on the crazy diet bandwagon. Last year my new years resolution was to stop making new years resolutions. But hey- it’s a new year now- new years resolutions are only supposed to last for one year, right?
The whole point of quitting new years resolutions wasn’t because I couldn’t keep them. Nope, I'm not a part of the 80% of Americans that can’t keep resolutions. I’ve always been creative enough to make my new years resolutions things that I actually wanted and enjoyed doing. The point was that I didn’t agree with having only one day a year to make decisions on life-bettering behaviors. Whoever officially invented the new years Resolution was on the right track, but why limit the act to being an annual thing? Why not monthly or quarterly? So since then I’ve decided to take the tradition into my own hands, and it’s been pretty successful! In February I decided to floss twice a day, March was the month of the seatbelt, summer was “always do what I say I’m going to do”, December was the month I decided to take more risks..
I’ve realized reaching my full potential is more of a constant effort, always changing and innovating to achieve as much as possible. Which is why I’ve decided to create a perpetual list of resolutions, and it has nothing to do with August’s resolution to make more lists... :-)
