Why I’m Glad That My Resolution for 2024 Is to Have No Resolutions
Overwhelming yourself isn’t the best way to start the year
The number of times I have heard or read people share their ‘new year, new you’ goals is frustrating. It is setting yourself up for failure 101.
It is frustrating because nothing changes in the new year.
It is only a reshuffling of some digits. That’s it. Nothing more!
This year I consciously made the (ironic) effort to set the resolution of not setting any resolutions in the new year. And, I am sticking to it, for sure!
I don’t want to put that kind of pressure on a year that has just begun.
It doesn’t mean that I don’t plan to grow or have goals for myself in 2024.
It just means that I didn’t need to wait till January arrived to do so.
It also means that I don’t need to skip any goal-setting if I don’t do it by 1/1.
And, most importantly, it doesn’t set up a ticking clock that stresses me out.
Or, better said, overwhelm the life out of me.
Resolutions are a scam
New Year's resolutions are a scam. They are promises that are broken.
