New Year Resolutions

 

New Year is still a newborn, just one month old. I think most of the New year resolutions must already be under the pillow. People must be tired of the ambitious rules and regulations they chalked out for themselves to follow.

This is the story every year. We get carried away by December and start making a long list, mostly related to our health and body. We like to trim out our body to get in shape. Brisk exercises, strict healthy diets. Everything is there intact on paper, phone and computer.

We make an honest commitment with our own selves to follow all that, no matter what. It looks like a fool proof plan, to get in shape with a beautiful figure. Looks like it will materialize in just a couple of weeks.

Few weeks pass and we get tired of all that. Start cheating ourselves. We try to make ourselves understand that if we skip sometimes it won't be a big deal. It won't make much difference. We just have to go a couple of extra miles, a couple of extra weeks. We can handle that. Week by week we start losing our ambition and by the end of month, our energy starts fading away. We are no longer in a mood to cope with the regulations we chalked out religiously with commitment before starting the new year.

Our focus is not there. We try to distract ourselves to not to think about that anymore. We start thinking that we are fine. Our body and figure is not in bad shape. Not to feel pressure. Just relax and enjoy your life. No reason to skip good and tasty food. It is not a good idea. Life is to enjoy.

 We have to think twice before making our list of resolutions for the new year. Too much of anything is not good. Try to handle things in moderation. It will work to travel through all paths of life. Things will be worked out. No pressure. Nothing to worry about. Enjoy. Keep smiling.
