Well here we are in 2013 having survived xmas and all that goes with it. I hope you all had a lovely xmas and wish you all the best for the new year.
January is often a month when people are winding down from the xmas festivities and looking at what the new year might hold for them. It is a time when people start to look back on the year that has been and assess what they might want to change for the New Year. New Years resolution are made and there is a need to start afresh; out with the old and in with the new.
I gave up making new years resolutions a long time ago, figuring that if I need to change anything that I should do it when it's necessary rather than waiting for the new year to come along. I have often found that we can put so much pressure on ourselves to come up with several different new years resolutions that by the time the lists are made and January comes to and end we can feel exhausted and all too often lose the motivation for the goals we so eagerly set. The list becomes a thing of the past, forgotten about and in one way was always doomed for failure because there was just too much on it in the first place.
So wouldn't it be a good idea if you really want to change something to pick one thing to start with and really commit to it, make a plan, work on it and see what motivates you, set some goals and if that doesn't work revisit the plan and see what will work. See how you feel at the end of it and then tackle something else.
"What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from." T.S. Eliot
