I can gladly say that I have NEVER made a new year’s resolution, nor do I intend to do so. I figure if I haven’t done whatever it is by now, a new year sure as hell isn’t going to change that. It drives me nuts how at the end/beginning of every year people vow to lose 20lbs, stop smoking, quit drinking, stop spending so much money, etc. Honey, if you haven’t done it by now a new calendar year probably isn’t gonna make you get off your ass and do it. Now I am sure there are exceptions to every rule and that people really do accomplish these things once every blue moon... good for them.
So people, if you are so intent on making some positive changes, why don’t you make some nice short term goals that you CAN accomplish instead of setting yourself up for yet ANOTHER failure. Huh? Like: Today I will not park like an asshole. Or, if you want a challenge maybe: today I will get off my lazy ass and go for a walk.
Now if you really want to challenge yourself try a weekly goal: This week I will only order fast food once (or twice depending on your dosage).
If you can accomplish a daily and weekly goal, try a monthly one. Sometime this month I WILL visit one of those family members that I have been avoiding like the plague or those “friends” that I never hang out with anymore.. Yeah.. go ahead. Give it your best shot.
As for me I’m just going to make sure that this year (and every year) I look out for #1. It’s all about keeping me happy... because let’s face it... when I’m not happy, I can make sure that all those around me are miserable too.
Happy New Year Everyone. Make “good” choices and remember that good is subjective.
