So, I know this is a little late, but I want to talk about
resolutions. Not necessarily New Year’s resolutions, but just resolutions in
general. Like, resolutions to make this year the best possible. I read something
a few months ago that said, ‘this will be my year,’ and I really love the
message that sends. The way I look at it, it’s saying that I will make this
year the best yet. That’s a great motivation, don’t you think?
I also
love the New Year’s idea I did last year, and am doing this year, which is to
write down every good thing that happens to you, even if it’s silly, or
everything that changes you for the good on a piece of paper and put it into a
jar. By the end of the year, the jar should be getting full, so on New Year’s
Eve, you pull it out and read them all, to bring in the New Year on a good
note, remembering all the wonderful things that happened.
So this
year, rather than making resolutions to lose so much weight or to do so many
things or get certain things, I challenge you to write ‘this will be my year’
on a piece of paper and hang it somewhere you will see it often. Then, find a
nice sized jar and a small notepad, and get to writing all the good things that
happen. Let me know how it goes. I already have three! It’s an amazing
encouragement, and it also helps you to see how you’ve grown. At the beginning
you may write something that means a lot to you, but by the end of the year,
you could find you couldn’t care less about that event. You never know!
