Happy New Year

Six days late though. Sorry about that.

How many of you have already broken your resolutions for the new year? Be honest...

Did you make it to the gym every day so far?
Did you stop that habit in its tracks?
Are you immediately a happier, healthier, you?

Of course you're not. That's not how change works. And that's okay.

Do you know how many days it takes to form a new habit? Ninety. It takes ninety days for you to make something a habit. Which means you won't see any changes until at least March, and that's only if you stick to your resolution religiously. But I'm not telling you this to discourage you, I'm telling you this because I want you to understand how brave you are for taking on whatever resolution you have, because it's going to be a long, hard road to become whatever it is you are searching for. And that's okay.

Don't beat yourself up if you've already broken your resolution, just pick yourself up and try again. Right now. Don't tell yourself you will start tomorrow or the day after, start now. New Year's is often used as the opportunity to better, next year, but why not just start now? What difference does the day or the year make? None.

I resolved I would do better about posting on my blog. Yet here I am, posting six days late, almost a week after I intended to. And that's okay, because I'm starting today. And I'll keep trying to do better, again and again, because that's all we can do, try.

If you haven't made a resolution or think New Year's resolutions aren't for you, than I want to suggest something for you to consider; just try. You don't have to succeed, you don't have to the best, but should you at least try this year.

Totus tuus,

LeAnn
