So the new year is coming up and with it come then inevitable resolutions. I am not big on resolutions because they don't generally last. I kind of feel that resolutions are more like wishes fo what we would like to see changed in lives. Whereas a resolution should be having the resolve to make changes in ourselves.
A common phrase we hear this time of year is "New Year, New Me". What is so wrong with the old you. I am quite happy with who I am. That's not to say I don't have room for improvement, I definitely do. But I worked hard to become who I am and I don't see a need to totally transform myself into something else just because there is a new year.
So going into the New Year, I decided to reflect on what I am happy with in my life, what I wish were different, what is working and what isn't, what I can and can't control/change and most importantly what I am willing or committed to changing.
Then and only then will I set my goals for the New Year. They will be SMART goals. That is to mean they will be: S-specific, M-measurable, A-achievable, R-relevant, T-timebound. I will also delve into ways to accomplish more in my life. That means looking at what I am doing that is getting in the way of me accomplishing my goals, then trying to minimize or eliminate those practices.
The next few days are going to be busy with some serious introspection. But I think I know my blog post topics for the next few days.
