When was the last time you made new year resolution/s? 2025? 2015? 2005? 1995?
How did it go?
Well, usually, mine did not go very well.
And if you look back, you might find it similar, by end of January, most new year resolutions will be gone out of the window. 😅🫣
Should we make new year resolution?
Jan 4 - Making decision is good, it's like setting the WAZE/Google Map the direction you intend to go. But it is only the 1st step. What needs to follow is to drive/ride toward the destination (goal/resolution). In current age, I am very grateful there exists many APP to give us a way of Navigating toward the goal, depending on what kind of goal we set. I feel to start it off, we must understand ourselves well, what work best to keep us on that track/path, what help us to stay on the "WAZE/Google Map" of our goal. At times, it might be more than just the APP, we might need a buddy to give us a nudge every now and then (a structured schedule is even better). Or if you find a coach is better.
My personal journey - over the years, while at times I set new year, if I am impressed to set a new direction in life, I don't wait till Jan 1 of a year to start. I choose a date and I put the matter into my daily prayer list (as my daily reminder, asking SOMEONE bigger than me for Help), and continue to find way to fine tune the path toward that destination. (I can imagine my 1st GARMIN saying recalculating every time I hit a 'wall', and I evaluate that the destination is still a worthwhile goal I want to pursue. So, I stay on course, follow the re calculated course, and move on toward the destination - still the same destination, only a new route - new method).
Do you have any suggestion for me?
It is worthwhile to make resolutions: ie learn a new skill, or establish an exercise program, it is also very important to set a system to make it easier to reach the goal.
Yes, we should. But keep it to 3 at most and make them simple and achievable, not overly ambitious 🤣🤣
