Welcome, 2024
Do you ever make New Year’s Resolutions? If so, do you keep them?! Well, if you are one of the few who make and KEEP their New Year’s Resolutions..congrats! Send help, lol!
Our brother and sister in law tend to start their New Years with a fast. They have said that they do like how that resets them, so to speak. We arenโt saying that is for everyone, but maybe it sounds like something you would want to try? If you arenโt thinking you want to go so hard, but would like to try out a resolution mindset, here are a few helpful tips:
โขbe specific
โขbe flexible
โขbe realistic
For example instead of โIโm going to exercise moreโ maybe try โIโm going to walk thirty minutes a dayโ (notice itโs just any time during the day. Donโt limit yourself by saying morning then feeling like a failure on the days your mornings donโt work outโฆ build in grace to your goal setting. Life be cray. Allow for that.) Maybe even be so realistic that you say โIโm going to walk thirty minutes four times a weekโ and then congratulate yourself if you get out there more often! Or if your schedule isnโt consistent daily, you could even maybe try โIโm going to walk a total of 3.5 hours a weekโ. This is nice because some days you could go on a longer walk and make up for those days that you couldnโt get out there.
Another thought for the new year is choosing a word or phrase or verse for the year. Pray about it, see what word keeps coming to your mind. Maybe thatโs your word?! Autumn even adds a song and Bible verse to her word.
Finally, itโs also okay if resolutions and whatnot just arenโt your thing as long as you never stop trying to improve yourself/your life. Itโs a brand new year. Fresh. Letโs make it the best we can.
Happy New Year from the OKSeasonedSisters!
