i personally don't believe in them because you're just setting yourself up for a bigger disappointment. god knows no one really goes through with their resolutions. i'll give you at two weeks to a month before anyone gives up. some of them are ridiculous though, have you heard some of them?
well here is a top five list, that i know most people always have somewhere on their list.
- lose weight / go to the gym - EVERYONE has had this on their list at least once. think about it. how sad is that? if all of america has thought of this at least once in their lifetime, even the innately skinny, then how bad does our self image have to be? it's even sadder to know that even though we know we should lose the "obesity" in america, no one does it because we end up going out one too many for that burger or pizza, two weeks after we've said "i need to lose weight, i feel like my arteries are clogging"
- quit smoking / quit drinking - smoking i can see why you would want to quit. but quitting drinking all together?! WHY?! what happened to one glass of wine a day with that steak?! talk about losing weight and losing that urge to drink...
- get out of debt - okay, let's be honest here...if you're going to over spend with your credit card the night before news years, most likely, you won't underspend the next day after the ball drops.
- help others - have you ever watched that show "what would you do?" hosted by john quinones? its possible. his show gives me hope.
- learn something new - i laugh---on the inside---whenever someone tells me this one. technically you're learning something new every day, and if you don't realize it, then you're pretty dumb and saying this is your new years resolution is just proclaiming that fact. if you were to say, do something new every day like anne hathaway did, then that'd be okay.
