I have never really been a huge fan of new year's resolutions or the whole "new year, new me" concepts. I never really seen the point in these things. Honestly to me, they were a joke, nobody every really follows them or even thinks about them past February.
I am someone who actually loves to make goals and will pass or fail no matter what the time of year is. I honest to God think that people who go out of their way to declare their goals and all of the changes they are going to making in their lives. Every time I hear someone or see a post say "NEW YEAR NEW ME, JUST YOU WATCH, I'M GONNA BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON!!" okay, cool, but how? There never really is an answer to these question because there is just the fantasy behind it.
I never was a fan in general of this mentality.
Now, I would like to give the disclaimer, I am not saying that everyone who uses new year's resolution fails at them and are super annoying when they do them, I am just saying that the whole stigma behind the phrase and the people who decide to bandwagon with it just make it extremely unattractive.
I always found ways to do my goals around this, I normally just make goals when I see the need for improvement. I have been doing this for years and my goals either make it or break it. But at the beginning of this past year, I decided to give it a shot. the one thing that really changed my mind was watching a video all about changing your life, it was at the beginning of the year so shocker that was the content available. Anyway, the video mainly talked about the stigma behind new resolutions and really challenged it.
This video really broke down a lot about goal making and why the idea of making resolutions at the beginning of the year was actually good.
So despite what I had been telling myself for many years, I decided to make my own version of resolutions. Honestly, they worked out pretty good. I went in with a whole different mindset to making goals in general and I wouldn't say I am exactly who I want to be, but I am sure am closer than where I was last year.
I hope to be able to do the same thing, but better for this upcoming year. I actually an=m taking my free time to focus on these goals and really think about how I have improved and how I have failed over these past 12 months. I want to see how I can be the best person in each of my areas of life. I am currently feeling really hopeful and optimistic for this upcoming year.
