PASSION FOR LIFE: New Year, New You by Suzette Langley
Happy New Year to everyone! Was it just me or did the holidays fly past in a blur?? I hope you took time to find moments of peace and rest during the busy time. With the New Year upon us, it is a time of new beginnings, new possibilities, and new resolutions. Or perhaps, your resolutions are the same, just the date has changed. Either way, now is a time to consider the changes you would like to make and how you can attain the goals and dreams you desire in the coming months.
Many of us, myself included, make resolutions about what we would like to change in the next year. And, many of us, again myself included, have found limited success. Is it because we lack willpower? Is it because we are lazy? Is it because we decide we don’t care after a month? It’s not likely these are the actual reasons for our lack of accomplishment. For most of us, we state a general goal we want to attain or a situation or behavior we want to change, but we do not plan how to make the change happen. Of note, we spend months planning vacations, parties, and moves that are over in a day or a week but devote little time planning how we will accomplish the changes we feel are important to us. In other words, this serves as an example of how we slight ourselves by placing other activities, events, and people above our personal needs.
