I hope that you all are feeling better after the shenanigans that I am sure you were involved in last night... But it wouldn't be the New Year without a little bit of a hangover would it? I for one am feeling fine, but I will say that I had a great time. Like I usually do I am going to try and write about someone who I think fits with today's holiday. I decided to stay away from all the obvious drunken messes that I could write about and write about the people who make New Years Resolution lists...
I think that it is pretty funny how we all seem to use the month leading up to the New Year to name off things that we are going to do differently "next year"... We are all guilty of making these promises to ourselves, so don't pretend that you aren't... How often have you heard, "next year I am going to work out every other day", or "next year I'm staying away from fried food"... We all make all sorts of resolutions but how long do we usually keep good on them for? I think my personal record is until about September, 2 years ago I told myself that I would work out in some form for at least 23 days a month. (random I know)... But I did it for most of the year, I have yet to meet anyone who has made it through the entire year completing the resolutions that they set out to do... I think what we should do to make us feel more accomplished is to add things to this list after we have done them... I do that on a daily basis with my to do lists, when I do something that is not on the list I add it and cross it off just to feel like I have achieved more. Or we can just set goals that we know we can accomplish, possibly write down things that you did in the previous year that you know you can do again. For instance in 2010 I have set a goal for myself to gain ten pounds, I figure I did that in 2009 with ease so it should be no problem to do it again in 2010.
When did we decide to use the New Year as a time to start over? As a time to set all of these goals? While it is great in theory I feel its a little sad when you get to October and don't even remember what the goals were. Well, I have a goal for you all that should be extremely easy and enjoyable for you to complete... I suggest that you read my blog every day... I assure you that they wont all be as boring as this one... 225 days left...
So, before I go, what types of resolutions did you guys set up for yourselves this year??? Any big ones? Has anyone already failed?
