No New Years Resolutions

January 15, 2024

I have, so often, felt bad after not getting anywhere with my new years resolutions. I feel like I need to instantly be perfect at all of these things that I have vowed to do this year, and then when I fall off the wagon before my birthday ( January 17th ) then I feel silly for even setting the goals.

But honestly, why are we setting goals in January? It is the coldest, darkest and sleepiest month of the year, why would we be wanting to try to implement all of these new practices into our lives? That seems so silly to me. So this year, I will not be making any real new years resolutions and instead, make some goals to lean into once the seasons change again. Winter is a time for rest, not a time for reconstruction.

I’ll see you in the spring, resolutions.
