Realizable New Years Resolutions — Still Be You

The point of resolutions is to become a better you through activities, experiences, and habits. 

But you’re still you. 

And who you are is exactly what this world needs. Sure, you want to evolve, but you don’t want (and can’t) become someone else. We need you, not somebody else. 

Trying to become someone you aren’t is a recipe for unrealized resolutions. 

So what does this mean for choosing resolutions?

First, no comparitus. Don’t make resolutions based on celebrities’ and social media influencers’ results, nor on your friends and neighbors. They’re different people, even if they claim they can “show you step-by-step how to…”

Second, be honest with yourself about what you like and hate. The surest way to blow your resolutions is to require willpower to do something you hate.

If you abhor the gym, don’t make a resolution about going to the gym. Instead, make a resolution around a physical activity you love. Getting “in shape” (whatever that means) doesn’t require a gym membership. 

Always be you.
