Time to Reaffirm New Year's Resolutions

January 31st, one month into the new year. It is a good time check-up on our resolutions. It is a great time to reaffirm them!

What were your resolutions? Many center around getting healthier, through exercise, through healthier eating, or even through *gasp* dieting. That brings to mind one of my favorite old one-lines, "why do the first 3 letters of the word diet spell die?"

Of course, there are lots of other resolutions we make. They can be related to job changes, your financial picture, family relations, or fun things like make sure to plan and take a real vacation.

Regardless, take a minute and take stock of where you are at. Are you making progress? If so, great! If yes but not as much as you like, remember phrases like "Rome wasn't built in a day" and re-dedicate your purpose. If you haven't made progress, add the word yet, as in, "you haven't made progress yet." And then renew your vow to make that difference.

Yes, January 31st is a perfect time to reaffirm you New Year's Resolutions.

  1. I guess I can say something about my own resolution. My resolution was to get back into contact with at least 5 friends that I have not seen or talked to in more than 5 years. And yes, I have been making great progress towards this.

    Luckily, someone had suggested I sign up for FaceBook. It has been a great way to find colleauges, family members and friends, even those from way back. Join me there, I am 'jespi55' on FaceBook.com and tell me found me on the Promoting Wellness blog.
