There’s definitely something to be said for making a New Year’s Resolution. I’ve always viewed a new year as a clean slate, and it makes sense to set goals for what you intend to do with that time. The possibilities are endless, so why not resolve to make the most of it?
I don’t know about you, but for me, nothing gets done unless it’s written down. There’s something to the act of putting pen to paper (or finger to keypad). It takes it from being just an idea to being real. It’s not out in the universe until it’s down on paper.
There are a lot of ways to do this. You can use a planner or a calendar. You can type it out on your laptop or write it down on a piece of paper. Just make sure it’s written and in a place where you can see it and refer to it often. Trust me. You’ll need it.
Let’s give January a break, shall we? If your goals are worth attaining, they will take time – much more than a mere month can offer. So, give your New Year’s resolutions some breathing room. The month of January thanks you in advance.
Learn from the previous year’s mistakes and grow. Every year is another chance to get it right.
If you’re going to make a New Year’s Resolution this year, be passionate about it. Keep it in the front of your mind. Never forget how important it is to you. If you do that, you can’t fail; and you won’t have to worry about letting yourself down. I really do believe that.
