This year I decided my New Year’s resolution would be a process instead of a goal.
Instead of saying I was going to stop/start something when the ball dropped on New Year’s Eve, my resolution this year is to keep trying to reach my goals until I achieve them!
Whether it is losing weight, exercising in the morning, writing a novel in my spare time, or just being more positive, it’s important that I not get discouraged by setbacks and keep persevering to get where I want to be. And this resolution to keep trying has been very liberating. Instead of a setback being a defeat, the setback is part of the process and I am moving toward my goal. Instead of feeling like a loser, I feel successful and more motivated to get after those goals!
Another part of my resolution is that I’ll take stock of things in December and see how I’ve done. It is going to be a great year!
It has only been a few weeks, but this far, this is my best New Year’s Resolution ever!!!
