Resolutions aren’t unrealistic, till they’re just resolutions

The real struggle begins when we put them to work, expecting revolutions

Seem all within reach & doable but

that’s not the actual solution…

For someone who’s never up in the morning, until the sun is bright & warmer

can’t be chirpy, rise & shine at the wee hours

choosing middle ground is the answer.

Daily dose of exercise by hitting the gym is a good thought

but not so much, since you don’t move at all

Try walks & stroll at first.

Atkins, Paleo, Keto are all fads

will be given up by January end

stick to eating right & on time

more greens, less sugar & fries will suffice.

Phone’s addiction we all wanna beat

giving up totally

is an impossible feat

reduce & replace, keep it out of reach

slowly we’ll get there

without a bad hangover

Tidying up & declutter

will never come in a flutter

reading about Ikigai & Marie Kondo

will not keep you on the go

The house reflects your mind

so, start from there & unwind

remove the unwanted stuffs

& scrub away the collected grime & dust.

All the resolutions we must adjust

keeping a reality check, is a must.

Others realistic resolutions can be

unrealistic for us beginners

realising that, can make loser or winners.
