Resolving Resolutions
Filed Under Entrepreneurs with a Conscience |
New Year’s resolutions were never big with me. I’ve tried sticking to them but always end up falling off the wagon by mid-February. I then looked at my list and realized they were pretty huge resolutions I was trying to achieve. No one needs that kind of pressure.
So I started breaking down the larger items into many small ones. Let’s say you (or I) wanted to lose 10 pounds. Instead of burdening yourself with losing those 10 pounds, start with eating healthier or cutting out the junk food. Let’s say you (or I) wanted to redecorate your (or my) home. Start with painting some new colors on the walls.
Starting smaller will make you feel more accomplished after the year is done and motivate you to stick with it. As it’s been said, Rome wasn’t built in a day – but I’m sure if they pressured themselves to do it that way, it would have never gotten done. So make your first resolution to go easy on yourself and be proud of the little accomplishments. They’ll eventually add up to one big resolution being crossed off your list.
