Did you make any resolutions at the beginning of the year? If so, how are they going?
If they are going well, congratulations! I am happy for your progress.
If they are not going well, do you know why that is so? There’s nothing wrong with you or your answers here. Most of us realize that life does not always go according to plan. There are twists and turns along the way, and that may be contributing to a lack of progress towards resolutions.
Maybe you didn’t make any resolutions at all, which can be downright liberating in and of itself.
If your resolutions have not gone well so far this year or if you didn’t make any, perhaps you might consider changing things up and giving your year a theme. What exactly does that mean? That’s the beauty of it – you can define it in any way you want! For example, for 2017, I have decided that for me, this is the year of “creation”. What does that mean to me? For starters, it is very broad. It includes creating time for family and friends, creating value at work, and creating blog entries, among many other things. I am also working to create different forms of art and writing, such as drawing and poetry. In my mind, the possibilities for this theme are endless, and there are so many activities that can be applied to it.
Of course, some of you may look at my theme and think it is way too overwhelming. Themes can be as specific or open as you like. Regardless of what sounds right for you, I challenge you to consider having a theme for the year. And, you don’t have to declare it right at the beginning of the year – you can start your theme at any time. Enjoy considering this possibility!
