Here we are barely into the new year and a lot of people have said, \u201cenough, already.\u201d Of course I\u2019m talking about those people that set themselves up for some major fails and disappointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The subject today, if you haven\u2019t guessed, is New Year\u2019s Resolutions. Invariably, most people (except me) make New Year\u2019s Resolutions that are unreasonable and unrealistic.
(You can check the late December entries of this blog to see a list of my resolutions for 2023 that are completely reasonable and realistic.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyhow, for all you other people \u2014 this day\u2019s for you. It\u2019s Ditch New Year\u2019s Resolutions Day. The day that sets you free from your first mistake(s) of the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every year on December 31, around about eleven or eleven thirty, we all believe that the approaching year is going to be different \u2014 that we won\u2019t go back to our old habits and things will change. It\u2019s a shame, but every year those New Year\u2019s Resolutions are about as effective as an ashtray on a motorcycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how do people (not me) celebrate today? It\u2019s pretty obvious \u2014 they ditch those New Year\u2019s Resolutions. It\u2019s a guilt-free day to scrap those resolutions and get back to normal. And even though most people (not me) no longer want to continue keeping their resolutions, at least they got this far. So they can let the world know they gave it their best shot, but their resolutions have been officially ditched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Statistics say that, on average, only 8% of Americans succeed in completely sticking to their resolutions until the end of the year.
But some of us \u2014 the proud few, will be better than we were in 2022\u2026.
