Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions: I resolve to make no resolutions. (since I am perfect, after all…)

Ok, so that’s not remotely true. But I really don’t believe in making new years resolutions any more. I think that if you become aware of things that need to change in your life you shouldn’t wait until January to make it happen.

I’m not saying I’m opposed to improving yourself. In fact, I have a whole list of things I would like to change about myself/my behavior. (It’s becoming a long list because I am not in fact perfect, but I won’t bore you with the details.)

It just seems like another game we play with ourselves. Yes, this year will be different; I’ll exercise 3 times a week and eat fruits and veggies every day. Two weeks later it’s back to the all-sugar diet. Plus, when you set far-out goals like that and then don’t meet them, it’s hard on your self esteem. No, I’m not saying not to have any goals. I just think having new years resolutions have more negative effects than good ones.

What do you think? Have you made resolutions for 2006?
