I don’t make resolutions every year because they just don’t work for me. They work against me in fact and it feels like when you slip you haven’t only let yourself down you’ve let the year down. Its a lot of pressure if you ask me.
What I do instead is make slogans or mottos. Broad catch all reminders that kinda guide my efforts through out the year. This upcoming yeah my new slogan is simply ‘Be Better’. This means exactly what it sounds like and can be applied to any aspect of my life. But its not just about being better than the next person, its about being better than yourself and your circumstances. Demanding more from your world and learning to accept then exceed, not just expect. We all know expectations are the fast track to disappointment anyway.
Oddly enough these slogans may or may not stick with me. I wear em while they fit and shed em if I outgrow them. For instance I don’t quite remember what I came up with last year probably because it stopped holding true to my life and nothing is wrong with that all.
Besides lose 10 lbs or whatever most people resolve to do for the new year are really goals. I make and achieve those on the regular. Catch up! Lol.
See you on the otherside…
