I must admit, I'm not a fan of New Year's Eve. For as long as I can remember, I have always felt a sense of dread when I think of the evening festivities. Maybe it's because there is a lot of social pressure to have plans, maybe it's because it's the close of the year, or maybe it's because I just don't like staying up past 9:00 pm.
And, when it comes to the actual New Year, I've always been bothered when I'm asked, "What are your New Year resolutions?" I find it odd that this tradition exists - why do we only think about what we want to achieve at the end of the year. Shouldn't we be thinking about our goals throughout the year? Isn't there always room to grow?
But, to cave into social tradition, I have come up with a few New Year's Resolutions. Resolutions on what I'm not going to do. Instead of putting pressure on myself to achieve goals, I'm going to focus on what I can do to remove the barriers that keep me from achieving goals in the first place. So, here are a few of my What I'm Not Going to Do Resolutions for 2016:
- I am not going to become frustrated when I experience a road block in a project. Getting frustrated only causes my blood pressure to rise and isn't healthy. It also doesn't help to solve any problems.
- I am not going to check my email from my phone incessantly.
- I am going to let people finish their sentences during conversations and not interrupt.
Do you make New Year Resolutions? Why or why not? If so, what are your resolutions for 2016?
