Resolve to cut back on your resolutions

New Year’s Day represents a fresh start to a great deal of people. It’s the great reset button if your year has been less than stellar. It makes sense to see New Year’s Day as a fresh start. Many will take stock of what went right, what went wrong, and will create a plan to ensure the right things continue to go right and the wrong things don’t happen anymore.

A lot of people make a huge deal out of new year’s resolutions. Some will go out and buy a gym membership, some will learn to cook, some will attempt going vegetarian or vegan and some may even resolve to meet their soul mate and get married. A lot of these folks will probably give up by March.

A few years ago, I stopped making resolutions on a specific date. Nothing changed because I never stuck with them. I decided that if there’s something about myself I feel I should improve, I’ll try my best to do so. Even then, the results vary.

It seems like the new year forces people to strive for betterment. The way I see it, you’re setting yourself up for failure. Wouldn’t it make more sense to begin working toward your goal when you’re actually ready?

Imagine you’re reading a book for class. More often than not, it’s a struggle to get through because it’s something you have to rather than want to do. It’s just like going to work every day. Some people truly enjoy their jobs and look forward to going to work every day. They actually want to go to work.

Many popular resolutions include quitting smoking, drinking less alcohol, managing money better, exercising more and helping others. These all seem like fairly attainable goals. Why wait until January? Do you need to train for these or something? Deciding to drink less does not mean you’re running a marathon.

We shouldn’t feel obligated to change for the new year. It’s almost as if resolutions are the ultimate form of procrastination.

If you want to do something, do it. Don’t wait for Jan. 1.

So if you’re hoping to quit smoking, drink less, exercise more or be happier, just do it. What’s keeping you? Don’t wait for the countless gym ads on television to remind you that you ate entirely too much during the holidays.
