Ok so who makes New Year’s resolutions ? I only started really getting into them in the past 5 years and I wish I had done them sooner because they seem to work. When I first started I did intentions which were more broadly general directions instead of specific resolutions but that worked so well I’ve started making them more specific.
I haven’t decided exactly what mine will be yet but I started writing down ideas in my notes app and will document them in the next few weeks.
When I wonder why I didn’t start sooner in my life I think it comes down to 2 things:
- working at large companies we would do annual goal setting and I put a lot of my energy into work and that probably satisfied the itch to make a resolution
- I think I was a little scared of failure and subconsciously preferred to not commit to anything and avoid failure over making a resolution I wouldn’t keep
Timeline feels pretty negative to me at the moment, but I personally find this time of year to be the most optimistic, a time to look inward and reflect on the past year and make some decisions about how to make the next year even better
