I’m going through my older notes today in order to develop my website…Today is August 20th, not exactly freezing! However, this post, other than the weather, still applies…
Today is January 21st, and what some call Blue Monday. All the bills from the holidays are in, it is minus 24 degrees celsius outside (ouch), and of course, it’s a Monday. News reports suggest that more suicides happen on this day than on any other! Apparently, people all over the world are breaking their new year’s resolutions! Oh, how the news loves to see the dark side.
What media seem to omit is that we can step back up, and re-commit to the good habit if that’s what we want. We have the power! In fact, the best resolutions are ones that we can break for a little while and then start-up again. It’s like intervals in physical training, the breaks are essential to your overall improvement in strength and fitness. With developing good habits, I believe that being able to stop and restart can reinforce just how strong the good habit is becoming.
It is with this in mind that I am taking to the keyboard now. Christmas holidays have come and gone, and for me the flu, well, it came and the worst is over, but you know how it is, symptoms linger. My own good habits, well they were stalled. It happens to all of us! I suggest if your resolutions are faltering, that’s okay. Consider it a stall, and work to get it going again. You will be stronger for it!
