The Challenge of Resolutions

Happy New Year!!

Did you make a lot of resolutions? Resolution means a firm decision to do or not to do something. “If you lack determination, you’ll never fulfill your New Year’s resolutions.” (From Vocabulary.com)

How many have you broken so far?

I don’t make resolutions, I prefer to have intentions. An intention is an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions. Your intention is your goal, purpose, or aim. It’s something you mean to do, whether you pull it off or not.

Why do I prefer intentions over resolutions? To me, resolution has so much judgment attached; it requires that I beat myself up about failing to keep it.

Intentions are plans, and plans can change as they need to. Resolutions don’t do that. You either succeed or fail. With intentions you course correct in life as you need to. Again, resolutions just don’t have that leeway.

So, I have intentions.

My plans are to improve my life, relationships and business in various ways (yes I have some specifics), to care for myself and others in a nurturing manner and to spend more quality time with them, and to keep moving forward.

Now for some, those sound too vague.

Perhaps they are, but they work for me.

What changes will those intentions require? I don’t know yet, but I am willing to make them.

How about you?

What are your intentions for 2020?

Are you willing to stop judging you for not keeping or not making resolutions?

Are you willing to make changes to create a more enjoyable life for yourself?

Ask yourself what you truly desire. Now ask yourself if you are willing to make the necessary changes to get there.

If you are, then great, ask the universe what’s your next step.

If you aren’t, then ask what keeps you from creating the life you’d like to have.

It’s your life.

It’s your choice.

Choose for you.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2020!
