I shy away from New Year’s resolutions, always have and I have no regrets in life either. That’s not to say I don’t move into and out of euphoria in longings to morph into a better person, change habits I don’t like or just accept myself the way I am, but New Year’s Resolutions are a bit intimidating for me really and it begs the question; How many people are actually successful with their resolutions?
We spend an immense amount of time and energy, on decision making. Choices surrounding career, environment, relationships, social dynamics and personal preferences are made every day and in every way. Yet, New Year’s Resolutions are alive with spirit every year. A promise to fix something in the new year. We even survey our friends, family and acquaintances, trying to gauge their spin of the new year based on what they were disappointed in with the last year – based on the resolution….
Life is fluid. It changes all the time, we question ourselves, wondering if we are making the right or wrong decisions… We set goals and then forget them, become less motivated, become more distracted or enamored with something else, so it falls to the wayside and New Years resolutions seems to be high on the falling off list, because according the internet, sadly- less than 10% of the population are actually successful with their resolutions.
Whatever I wish to change, however I choose to change, I always try to do it from an internal conviction perspective. Every decision, every action and adventure I have had, has brought me both successes and failures that have shaped me into the person I am today. While that may sound cliché, I completely one hundred percent believe it and as a result – have no regrets in life.
So, while many people choose New Year’s as a time to make new resolutions, celebrating at midnight for success in having survived the prior year, the promise of a better year to come with goals or no goals, I choose to celebrate who I am. Celebrating every action and decision that has perpetually shaped me into – I’m That Girl Roxy.
