Resolutions Start When You Do
The simple truth of news resolutions is that they only work when you do. Within that truth lies this one; your resolutions start when you do. You can have great ideas and plans for all the great things you want to change in the new year, but they won’t happen until you start. As with all of these weekly posts I’ve been posting for the past year, it comes down to simple actions being taken. Thinking about and planning the great diets and workout routines you will start in the new year don’t amount to squat unless you take action on them daily.
Soon you will see a lot of new faces at the gym and running along the streets in your area. Very soon after you won’t see those faces anymore.
It all comes down to taking action. Intentions are well and good, but they don’t make the difference. Your resolutions start when you do, not on January 1st.
If you make any resolutions this year, let them be to take some simple actions toward your goals. If you are looking for any simple actions to take each week to make your life better, then check out any of the 51 suggestions below.
Have a safe and happy new year and may 2014 be the best year you’ve ever made for yourself and others.
