When I was younger, I followed the adults before me and made a New Year’s Resolution or two. It’s as if January 1 were some magical day, which that alone ensured success for those things I’d wanted to change. More often than not, I’d fail to follow through. Eventually, I stopped doing that. On the day I decide when I’m frustrated or dissatisfied enough to warrant some change within myself, I do it, whatever that day of the year turns out to be. It seems it works better for me this way.

I don’t make resolutions. Setting goals works better for me.

Lower and lower. It appears I don’t need to change but just be ok with who I am. It never sticks

Everyone has commented that they aren’t making NY resolutions anymore. I think your way is better and short term goals are easier to achieve. Thanks Susi for sharing your thoughts

I set goals instead of make resolutions. The goals require a plan and a timetable…
