Do you believe in New Yea Resolutions?

No, I don't do New Year resolutions. The vast majority of people don't even keep their resolutions for a week, anyway. I hope I can start drawing disability this year but may have to settle for Social Security instead.

The phrase “New Year, New me” sounds inspiring. But you’re right that many people lose momentum after a few months and sometimes within days. Resolutions often start with excitement but fade when routines and pressures return. Some people aim for a new job, others focus on healthier living, and many try to do everything at once. That can make goals feel overwhelming rather than motivating. Atleast I have experienced them. I think the problem isn’t the resolution itself, but how rigid or unrealistic it is. Life has a way of pulling people back into old habits. Small, steady changes usually work better than dramatic promises. Consistency matters more than perfect discipline. I do believe in using the new year as a mental reset. It’s a good time to reflect on what worked and what didn’t. Instead of resolutions, intentions and flexible goals feel more sustainable. Progress, even slow progress, is better than giving up entirely. I would follow that approach and see how it works for me this year. Take care!
