I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. Why do we put so much pressure on January 1st to fulfill goals we've been too lazy to fill the other 364 days a year? We could decide to make a lifestyle change any day, but instead we put it off weeks, even months because for some reason we think we'll be more successful if we start with a new year.
Don't get me wrong maybe someone, somewhere has successfully stuck with a New Year's resolutin-- if you'd like to restore my faith in this tradition please comment below. But we've become notorious for dropping our resolutions even before the end of the month of January. I'm guilty of it too. I can't even remember all of the resolutions I made that were lucky to last a week. The problem we have is we get too discouraged if we miss a workout, eat some cake, or go off budget. We can't suddenly decide to make some HUGE lifestyle change and think it wil all quickly and easily fall into place. It's not practical. Right away we are so discouraged by the smallest slip-up that we let it ruin everything and toss the resolution out the window. Last New Year's I was much too busy growing a human to make and stick to any significant resolution, but this year I have a method to my madness--hopefully the key to some resolution success...I am starting small. I am improving parts of my life that I already do. Instead of having one definite lifestyle change, I'm trying to improve aspects of my life:
