As the new year creeps through, I've begun to realize how much we can utilize and reign in the benefits that come with changing our calenders. Before I had this belief that it was a lazy way out. But I feel like it's nice to have an excuse to change something we were too frightened to do before. I feel like if you create some sort of reminder of these goals, whether it's a list you pin to your wall, or a bracelet you wear, they can easily be achieved. You do not need to insist on following through with each resolution, but try to be open to the change. Don't set the goals in stone. It doesn't have to be incredibly worded and specific as to what you'll do. One of mine for the following year is, "Don't discount your feelings." And you can set strong parameters as to what you'll follow, but I feel like it's easier to follow through if you choose something more open to development.
