Hmm Maybe I’ll give up Sugar, TV, greasy foods, POP, or even sleeping in……. But it would be nice to make up for all the failed resolutions & stick with an exercise program! Either way it’s Jan 8th, & I’m still contemplating!
When I think New Years resolution, the first thing that comes to mind is, “LOOSING WEIGHT” I wonder if those two small words coincide with all the failed resolutions of my past…….
I wonder how many people actually live up to their RESOLUTIONS anyways……. According to WIKI:
“Recent research shows that while 52% of participants in a resolution study were confident of success with their goals, only 12% actually achieved their goals. A separate study in 2007 by Richard Wisemen from the University of Bristol showed that 78% of those who set New Year resolutions fail, and those who succeed have 5 traits in common.[3] Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, (a system where small measurable goals are being set; such as, a pound a week, instead of saying "lose weight"), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends.”
Well that’s promising! I‘ve come to the conclusion that just completing a resolution, is a resolution success all it‘s own. Maybe I’m going about this all wrong, it says nowhere in the RESOLUTION HANDBOOK, that I need to give up something!
!!Ahaa!! (INSERT Brilliant idea light HERE!) Resolutions, are all about bettering yourself, right? Well I have a book that is PERFECT, my Handy Dandy New King James Extreme Teen BIBLE! (Yup I use a teen Bible, & I’m not afraid to admit it!) I’ve been a Christian for many years, Born again….& again……. & YES again! I feel almost as if I have hit a plateau in my relationship with God, it’s kind of like God & me are over our honeymoon stage. Personally that is such an overwhelmingly sad concept to admit, but it true! I’ve been meaning for sometime to take our relationship to the next level, but I know it’s going to take work, & up until now I was content with leaving things the way they were. Well my friends today I RESOLUTE (If that’s even a word) to take my relation ship with our Heavenly Father to the next level.
So here I am about to pour my heart out to the world for the sake of a RESOLUTION, I’m going to blog my adventurous journey: every fault, weakness, & failure, in hopes that by the time the fireworks light the skies of 2012 I will have completed for the first time in 26years a RESOLUTION!
