Why you should not waste your time writing a New Year Resolution

What you should Focus on instead

Just as you know that the beginning of the year is marked with a series of activities embarked upon by Humans, part of which is people coming up with New year resolutions and all, I mean people who want to, because of the wave of the moment just come up with the new year, new me kind of mindset

What is notable in this pattern of events is that a whole bunch of people just follow this buzz as flocks without realizing what and why they should do that

And this has resulted in people not actually following through, with their said new habit and as you know I fell for this for years while growing up until I lost interest, and to devil be the shame I stopped

I want to ask you to tell me when you started writing new year resolutions and on a scale of 1 - 100 rate how effective you follow through your resolutions

Back in my days in Secondary school, I had a teacher who somewhat was a major influence in my life

I remembered him making a profound statement before the close of the year that he starts his New year resolution before the new year
something around December 15 and it struck a melodious chord with me but it left me with a pattern

If I start my new year resolution, then it is no longer a new year resolution abi what do you think??

Sequel to these events I've made New resolutions that just lasted a few weeks and I resulted in going back to my stinking vomits ……eww!!!

I guess the New Year New system doesn’t apply here

And I’ve seen this apply to many people that I have encountered throughout my course

This has made to really divulge the idea of new year resolutions

But with growth,, I found out something exciting that I think you should be aware of, which is the reason for writing this to you

It is not news that words and phrases or let’s say languages generally affect our experiences, and perception, and reality of life

I use the analogy of a culture in which words like introvert or extrovert doesn’t exist in their language then those experiences don’t exist in that culture

You can’t experience what you don’t have a word for

And the way words are

This Research altered my thoughts on the new year resolution that I made a micro closer look to understand whether it’s a myth or misunderstanding

What I found out from a closer look is that if you really dissect the phrase “new year resolution”, it relatably appears to be a resolution made for the new year but as we go into the year and the newness of the year tends to wane off, those new year resolution tends to wane off with it too

Afterall what you made was a new year resolution and since the year is no longer new, I guess your old habits should continue

Now you ask me what to be done

I’d suggest that you switch the structure of the phrase and it should be termed as New resolutions for the year and not the popular new year resolution

This will imply that as I enter this year, I make those new resolutions for the year

Sho get??

So change that vocabulary and see yourself work freshly in your resolutions and see it affect your life positively

Have you made your resolutions yet??
