New Years Resolutions are a New Years tradition that are commitments that are made to accomplish personal goals, projects, or reform or change a habit in the upcoming year.
They are never about balance. They are about coming up with outrageous, unachievable action items for the year! They are not based on reality, which is why they most often fail, but they give us a sense of well being for a short period of time! Just to make a resolution without a clear cut action plan to make it happen during the year, is not enough!
I must admit that I do make them. I'm an organizational freak, and I think that it is important to make goals in different areas of your life. New Years Day is the start to a new year, and is a day that makes sense to look at where you have been, and look at where you want to go, and what you will need to do to get there!
The same top 10 resolutions show up almost every year, because they
are so difficult to keep! Each year, we try over and over again to
succeed!
If you look at the list above, these are all pretty broad and vague goals that would be hard to measure your success.
