'Resolution' for the Resolutions.

As New Year has made its entrance in our lives and so we’d soon start to follow the tradition of making Resolutions but we ourselves know this that they won’t even last for a month (if you don’t know this then you my friend are lying to a very wrong person i.e. yourself).

The reasons of dropping resolution faster than you make it is not the resolution itself but the manner in which you take it. Like if a person wants to start reading and makes this as a resolution; the most common example (folly) would be that “I will read more books this year” now it looks good enough for a resolution but the mistake here is that the person didn’t specify anything and that would make the goal highly unstructured. The person didn’t specify the type of books the amount of books or the purpose of books. In my humble opinion if you do specify your resolution and try to keep it on the level of mere mortals the resolutions would stick longer and who knows they might develop into habits. An example of how resolutions should look like according to me is; “I will read two non-fictional books (related to psychology) (personal growth) every month”. Taking myself as example as a not so book loving person if I say I’d read more this year then that could mean 5 novels (which is way more than the novels I have read before in 2018 {2019 is the exception in book reading in which I read way more than I ever had}) but if I take latter as a new year resolution (which I have) then I am bound to read 2 (If not more) non fictional, self-growth piece of literature every month.

Another thing which we can do to make our resolutions to stay in for a longer duration than just a month is that you can go easy on yourself and try to make one positive change at a time. What this would do is that would give your body the necessary time to adapt to this new style of yours and you would not feel that discomfort at all.

Think about it you have been eating donuts regularly in the past year do you think you would suddenly start a new all leafy greens no sugar, low salt and dressing on the side kind off diet and your body would except it. That isn’t going to happen, if you go very extreme on any of your resolutions then you’ll soon find yourself guilty of breaking the resolution, so again in my opinion moderation is the way.

Because it’s not only the resolutions that break every year but along with it, breaks your

Self-confidence the amount of perceived Self-control you think you have and when that happens it leaves you more devastated then you ever were.

So I would only suggest that take it easy on yourself, try to live like a human being and do not attempt to be a productivity God stay in the realm of the mortals and focus on the long term habit development and of course don’t make a resolution just to follow a trend coz it would never last.
