Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day
Embrace the freedom of spontaneity and letting those well-intentioned plans take a back seat to life's delightful surprises.
Ahhh New Yearโs Resolutions. Theyโre a great opportunity to really set ourselves up for some magnificent failures and disappointments, amirite? Well, there comes a time when you just have to acknowledge that your New Yearโs Resolutions were unreasonable and unrealistic, and that time is a fortnight into the New Year! Rejoice in your new found freedom from torturous diets and horrible exercise regimes, pick up that pack of smokes and down another glass of wine. Ditch New Yearโs Resolutions Day sets you free from your first mistakes of the New Year!
History of Ditch New Yearโs Resolutions Day
The History of Ditch New Yearโs Resolutions Day is as old as New Yearโs Resolutions. In the inebriated, hopeful light of the dawn of the New Year, we all believe that the next year is going to be different, that we wonโt go back to our old habits, and we wonโt let things continue as they are. What a terrible shame that, year after year, New Yearโs Resolutions are shown to be about as effective as a hole-ridden umbrella is at keeping the rain out.
So donโt keep yourself tied to them any longer, realize that youโve got to make real strides, all year long to make any kind of change happen, and start looking at real lifestyle changes. Little bits at a time you can make whole life resolutions, and leave the bitter disappointment of not going down a few sizes in the dirt of changing a lifetime of bad habits.
How to celebrate Ditch New Yearโs Resolutions Day
Well, this part is pretty obvious, donโt you think? Ditch those New Yearโs Resolutions like a bad habit. Theyโre not really going to see you through the year anyway! Instead, as mentioned above, the best way to celebrate is by reevaluating your life as a whole, and start finding real and meaningful reasons to change, not just because itโs a New Year and that magically inspires you with Will and determination you didnโt have the year before.
Itโs also important to realize that some of your New Yearโs Resolutions are just silly, limiting, or depressing. Some people swear to things like never falling in love again, and who needs that in their life? Get out there and start living your life and being satisfied with who you are, and if you arenโt genuinely satisfied, change it for that reason, and not because a new calendar has flipped over!
