Let me let you in on A little New Years ritual I keep for myself in lieu of resolutions. This year why not take a little time to review the year just past and take a peek into your future without guilt, regret, force or effort. Resolutions are just premature conclusions dressed up in holiday finery anyway. Forbes tells us that only 8% of the 40% of people who make resolutions actually make good on those resolutions. (That’s 3.2% of the population people!) Has there ever been a more useless yet tenacious ritual? How much have you been giving yourself a hard time for not sticking to your resolutions? There’s a value in reviewing. There’s huge value in the self awareness that comes from that process but maybe not for the reason we think.
