| An recreation of my reaction to New Years resolutions |
The first day of 2012 is tomorrow, and you know what that means. Prepare your anuses because the internet and real life are about to be swarmed with people going "I want to do this, and I want to do that" over the New Year. And I for one personally think its retarded to make New Years resolutions.
Why should you wait till the end of the year to say that you need to improve something about yourself, you should always be trying to improve yourself. If you wait until the end of the year not only are you forcing change upon yourself (see Benefits of the Sith Code for more discussion) but you are also trying to change to fast.
More New Years resolutions are given up on then actually completed, I don't need science to prove that because you know it. In about 2 more weeks some people will of already given up on there resolutions saying that they were to hard, to unreasonable, or the they expected to much out of themselves.
What a twist.
Have you ever tried to do five things at once only to realize that you can only focus on one at a time. Yeah same thing goes for resolutions, the more of them you make the more likely you are to fail. It just doesn't seem as obvious because your trying to do good, or possibly because the physical and mental effects of over stretching yourself are never as obvious to the subject as they are to anyone observing them. So why would you ever purposefully try to overstretch yourself when all its going to cause you is failure and maybe even making things worse.
That is why this year I will not be making a resolutions to not make resolutions and take things one step at a time like I always have. There's no need to change what isn't broken. There are of course things I need to change about me, but I have time. I don't and you don't need to rush everything at once just take a step back and let your inner-self move you forward, if you fight against it or try to move it another direction by forcing change upon it then who are you really fighting. Not your weight, not your schedule, but your own inner being and that'll cause nothing but chaos within yourself which will prevent you from making any true change.
Until next time,
