We are two weeks into January already! Can you believe it? How are those New Year resolutions coming? Did you stop making them years ago because it just became a joke? Ask yourself these 10 questions to see where you are on your resolutions.
1) Do you feel pressured to make New Year resolutions?
2) Do you make resolutions or goals at other times of the year?
3) Do you tell other people about your resolutions or set up any accountability?
4) Do you make the same resolution every year?
5) Do you make resolutions that you know you can't achieve?
6) Do you make specific resolutions or overarching goals?
7) How often do you reaffirm your resolution throughout the year?
8) Do other people make fun of your resolutions?
9) Once you make a resolution do you make a plan of action to keep it real?
10) Do feel the need to start your resolution on January 1st?
Making goals in your life is important, being pressured to make resolutions or feeling like you failed the whole year when you didn't get up at 6:00am on January 1st is crazy. You shouldn't be bingeing through the holidays (that start in October and go through January) and then except to change over night - which is actually less than a night if you stay up to bring in the new year.
It's okay to scrap your New Year's resolutions and start over right now, 2 weeks into the new year. Unless you are trying to beat a world record, no one is going to care that you did something every single day of the year. Actually they will probably feel like you are bragging and become annoyed with your accomplishment.
Its better to clean your house 3 times in a month then 14 times in the first two weeks and then every other month for the rest of the year. Imagine that the way you feel about other people - judging you or you trying to keep up with the Jones's - is exactly how those other people feel about you. Do what is best for you and your family not what you think your mother or neighbor expects.
Happy New Year!!
