I woke up today in disbelief that this month is almost over. Where did it go?! It then made me wonder how everyone is doing with their resolutions a month into making them. My resolution this year is to stop yelling during arguments with loved ones as inspired by this blog. So far I've been successful, and I love being able to say that I haven't yelled yet this year!
However, it's possible I might break my resolution, and I'm wondering if any of you have broken your resolutions yet. Here are some ways to get yourself back on track:
1. Take responsibility
Maybe you're still in denial about how much you broke your resolution. Breaking it is breaking it, even if it's "just a little bit." Admitting you broke it is the first step forward to your desired outcome.
2. Redefine your goal(s)/value(s)
Why are you doing this? What are you hoping to achieve? How will keeping this resolution make you a better person? Is your resolution realistic?
3. Recommit yourself
Start over now and work toward your end goal now. Share your resolution with someone to further define your accountability.
4. Forgive yourself. Over and over again.
It takes time to kick bad habits and replace them with effective ones. Be patient with yourself and be persistent.
I would love to hear about your resolutions in the comments below!
