resolutions?

[keryx]

Do you make resolutions or set goals for the year at some point each year? And if so, what do you or the world gain from that process

I tend to make short-term goals because they're easier in a short-attention span world. So, I don't resolve to do something all year, but I might (as I have recently done) resolve to do at least one sun salutation every day for 30 days. Or I might resolve to floss my teeth every day consistently for 14 days. And so on.

I think they're more manageable, and often if you establish a good habit for a short while, they'll eventually become ingrained good habits.

I have come around to liking change that happens naturally and organically, and not forcing things. So I think about something for a long time and then actions happen or don't. I think it was 2007 that I made a whole slew of resolutions and it just made me not do things.

Goals bug me but having no direction also isn't good for me. This year I made signposts.

Maybe they are self-absorbed, but given how much time I'm spending being a caregiver right now, I think I deserve to have a little self-absorption.

I have made one ferociously serious (and ferociously gleeful) resolution: I'm resigning as my own worst critic and taking that long-vacant (if oft-advertised) job as my own best supporter and cheerleader.
