Today's blog might seem like it is a day early,but I thought some of you might enjoy some time to digest this idea,plus it will still be timely for those readers in countries a day ahead of us.
44% of Americans make New Year's resolutions,few in that percentage achieve their goal. I discovered this about myself decades ago and quit the whole process. Why set yourself up to fail and ruin a perfectly good New Year beating yourself up over it? Most resolutions are too complicated to meet with any degree of success to begin with, and just because it is a New Year doesn't mean your habits will be any easier to break. If you feel pressured when asked what your resolutions are, there are many options. I always said I was resolving not to make any resolutions. If you're not comfortable with being that straight forward,go for something easily achieved,or maybe something you routinely do anyway. If none of these sound like they will work for you,offer to open a fix-it shop for all the people who break their resolutions!
Happy New Year...a day early!
