New Year’s Resolutions just do not work. Why would they.
Like I'm magically going to change my entire life because the earth
traveled around the sun one more time! Resolutions are by nature never
followed because what we set are expectations, not resolutions. We set an
ideal without direction. If you want to
get somewhere, you need a map and compass.
If someone told you today to go to Fenway Park in Boston, how would you
get there? You would look up
directions. Resolutions are directions
to an ideal, not the ideal.
“Resolve” per
www.google.com means "Decide firmly on a course of action." To
resolve something, you have to set in motion a plan. You have to create a
course of action. Simply saying "I'm going to lose 30 pounds"
does not set anything in motion. If you stated you are going to go to the
gym three times per week and eat a diet consisting of lean protein, fruits, nuts,
vegetables, and other whole foods only, then you have set a course of action.
You have set a direction on how to get there.
Set more resolutions and less ideals and you will be well on your
way to hitting your goals.
