I bet you had big plans for your 2012. Did you fall for the perennial promise to “get thy fat ass to a gym?” Sure, it’s free to get started. Like drugs – the gym hooks you with their free samples and juice bars…close enough. But soon you end up spending cash on that ‘free membership.’
If you go to a gym, you have to look good so you buy new workout clothes that squeeze you into yourself so it looks like you don’t need to even be there; Which is what you’ve told yourself by now because you’re tired for feeling guilty for standing outside a Sabarros just to sniff the pizza. Then there are those who justified getting that X Box Kinect under the guise of getting in shape. Good thing you also got a zombie shooting game as well cause ‘Just Dance 3’ gets tiring after 10 minutes.
All those broken resolutions… But rather than explain away our decisions to stop depriving ourselves of the much needed preservatives in every stick of delicious twizzlers or renew our promises to quit doing this, or stop doing that – Make a Resolution to be More, not less. When we vow to deprive ourselves we’re really fighting our own instincts.
So with broken resolutions behind, make a promise to be more this year. Don’t try to squash an old habit. Take up a new one! Don’t stop doing what you do. Just decide to do even better. You can be a better you without feeling that you have to cut back or deprive yourself.
Go to a new hang out – a new music venue, a new bar. Add new friends to your circle.
If you’re an artist, those resolutions should all be to add what’s already there. Get new fans. Write more songs. Play new Venues. And do this by taking positive action and not from scaling back.
