According to a Statistics Brain and Forbes only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s Resolutions.
While I have no recollection of ever breaking a resolution, the truth is I have no recollection of ever making one. I’m not sure if this was because of a fear of failure, some sort of rebellion, or maybe because I’ve regarded myself as a person who doesn’t need a magical date to start a project. That said, I’ve decided that in 2016, that I will ways and make not one, but three resolutions.
- My first, is easy enough as it was to make resolutions. (Yes, I realize this is kinda lame – almost like wishing for more wishes). So that’s one down and 2 more to go.
- Start a blog (so far so good)… but part two of this resolution is to create 50 posts in 2016.
- My third resolution is to do some sort of healthy physical activity for 5 minutes 3 times a week. I realize my health goal may seem somewhat like I’ve set a very low bar, but currently I am doing nothing. Although I’m the type to choose the stairs, and am often carrying my youngest around I’ve realized much to my disappointment that this is not exercise. I am aware that 15 minutes of working out will neither rid the baby weight nor allow me to run a mile, I’ll be happy to jog a block or two, and fit into my old non-elastic waist pants.
We all have to start somewhere, and for 2016, I’m starting here.
