I gave up on New Year’s resolutions years ago. Like most people I made goals that were too ambitious and too hard to stick with.
A lot of people say, “You shouldn’t need a new year to start something new you idiot! If you want to improve your life, you can start on any day you dummy!” I might have added the idiot/dummy part, but I’m sure you’ve heard people say the rest. Personally I think it’s easier to start something new at the beginning of a time period, so I started doing:
New Month Resolutions!
It’s usually to exercise and eat healthy, and if I only make it for 2 weeks, then there’s only 2 weeks until I start again! If I’m exercising and eating healthy half the time, that’s a huge improvement over not doing it at all.
If you’re having trouble changing your habits, pick a small goal and start it at the beginning of the month (even if it’s January).
