Resolution 2016
45% of Americans make will make New Year Resolutions. Losing weight is number one…no surprises there. 47% of resolutions will be about self-improvement, and 46% of us will be maintaining our resolutions beyond six months according to the Statistic Brain Research Institute. Pretty impressive!
Resolving is an act or process of finding an answer, a solution for a challenge we face…a behavior we want to change or modify. Resolution is also firmness and determination; consistent actions required to achieve the desired outcome.
On the prioritized list of resolutions provided by the University of Scranton’s Journal of Clinical Psychology, enjoying life to the fullest is number five; learning something new is number seven; helping others is number eight; and lastly, spending time with family is number ten.
For me, the number one resolution will be ‘to enjoy life to the fullest’. This means better boundaries everywhere. It means finding the balance between ‘helping others’ and being faithful to my own well-being. It means finding peace, especially peace within.
I invite you to reflect and commit to a New Year Resolution that best suits the current of your life.
Wishing you all an awesome New Year!!
