Why I’m not making any New Year resolutions for 2018

I’m writing down my thoughts today, as I lay in my bed while snow flakes fall quietly down from the sky. Correct, I’m in bed because unfortunately I am sick, again! It seems as if this year all I do is get sick. Every two months I find myself reaching for a kleenex. Oh well, it is what it is. But I’m not here to talk about my illness today.

Why I’m not making any New Year resolutions for 2018

I’m here to talk about a different topic. Why I’m not making any New Year resolutions for 2018. This morning, as I often do while sipping my coffee, I was scrolling through my favourite blogs and I saw that a couple of girls are talking about a topic that always comes up during this time of the year: New Year Resolutions.

DIY Christmas Gifts

As many people do at the end of a year, I too, have always had a list of things I wanted to work on starting January 1st. And I’ve always found it quite difficult to keep up with all the things I wanted to improve or perfect. I put so much pressure on myself that I end up giving up before January even ends. 

I think that my giving up doesn’t label me as a quitter, I simply try and work on so many things at the same time that in the end I am not able to focus on not even one of those things. So this year I’ve decided that there will be no new year resolutions list for me, since I believe that if I really want to work on myself and become better at something I need to put effort in it and focus on it 100%. This means that I don’t need to choose a day to start a personal project, if I really want to work on myself I can start right away. 

Dublin Trip: Wild Wicklow Tour

For me one of my resolutions has always involved fitness and health. During the Summer time I was able to start a real fitness routine and I have enjoyed going to the gym every week even if just once a week. It’s become part of my weekly schedule and I look forward to it. Since beginning this new journey and moving back to Toronto, I’ve realized that I don’t need to wait for a new year to begin to challenge myself and make changes in my life. All I need is to be proactive and believe in myself. 

How to stop thinking about what other people might think of you

There is way too much hype surrounding the new year resolutions topic and I personally don’t feel like following it this upcoming year. I will keep doing what I think is best for me and for my wellbeing, and If at one point in the middle of the year I decide that it’s time to make some new changes I will focus on it then and there. 

How do you feel about new year resolutions? Have you already made a list?

And that’s with following all the signposts.”
