Skipping New Year’s Resolutions for 2022, and What I Plan to Do Instead…
I gave up on New Year’s resolutions a few years ago, and my goals were no different from the standard — getting in better shape at the gym, improving my diet, increasing my income, among other milestones. While these goals are challenging to achieve, you’ll see results with the right commitment and hard work. The main problem with creating and following New Year’s resolutions is that they are often vague and undefined.
I strongly feel that we’re all capable of achieving something great, even if it takes a long time. New Year’s Eve is a fun way to celebrate the end of a chapter and start fresh with a new plan for the future. It’s like a euphoric moment where you visualize a remake or reinvention of your life that will unfold starting January 1st, as long as you believe in yourself and embrace change.
Still, realistically, achieving a goal requires a lot of grunt work, failed attempts, and disappointments along the way. You’ll see significant accomplishments after working through a few obstacles, but you’re not likely to see major results appear after just a few weeks at the gym or taking too many breaks from your new healthy meal plan.
