Resolve To Not Resolve This New Year
This week over at Global Wire Associates, we launched our latest marketing campaign, “New Year, New Digital You.” I am a strong believer in starting off with a clean slate, whether it is your digital life or your regular everyday life. A new year is a time when people set up resolutions, like losing weight, giving up meat or spending more time with the family. Most people fail at their resolutions because they are either unrealistic and/or poorly planned and executed. Many of my own friends and family members have gone down the resolution rut as well, and as a result, created more stress and heartache in their lives.
I’m not into resolutions, per se. Instead, I am more of the mentality that if you want to change something about your life, then just do something about it now. Figure out what is the one most important thing you want to change about yourself, your lifestyle and/or your environment now and make a plan of action for how you will implement that change.
Over the last few months I have had a couple of friends who were dealing with some serious life issues and I have acted as a support cushion through their crises. So for the next few weeks or months, I will occasionally write posts about making structured life changes for the better, like the power of meditation, fitness, healthy eating and other topics that I see fit for conversation and help you think about creating a realistic plan that works for you.
I’m not a life coach nor a therapist, and my life is not perfect. I have my own trials and tribulations. But what I do have is experience that might be useful for someone else needing support.
I hope you will join me on the journey.
