A Year without Resolutions
Posted in Holiday on 01/01/2013 09:19 pm by CC
Blog more often.
Drink more water.
Eat healthier.
Get a meaningful hobby.
Learn a new craft.
Study the Bible more.
Work out more regularly.
Those are all things that this mom is not making a commitment to do. Not today anyway.
I don’t like failure, and from where I sit, committing to certain lifestyle changes just because the calendar flipped over to a new year is the first step to ensuring failure. Don’t get me wrong, we all have to pick effective dates when we choose to make changes, but settling upon a date merely because it’s what people do this time of year isn’t going to work for me. What will work is taking the first step when I’m psychologically ready for a change.
The date that I’ll take the first step of whatever change I’ll seek to make is unknown to me, so for now, I’ll relish in the success of not being a failure at some arbitrarily dated resolution this new year.
Best wishes in all that you choose to do in 2013.
