So yeah, most people are looking at 2007 and making promises they're not going to keep. I told myself that I was not going to do the whole resolution thing because I know myself. I'll get my mind into something and I'll have a great start, I'll keep it out for a while and then it'll become part of the background. I do that a lot you know? I get really excited, and then it passes. I know, it shouldn't be like that and I should try to be constant but it's one of the hardest thing to do for me. I know, I should make a promise to try and be more constant right? But given my previous experience, wouldn't that be setting myself up for failure? I've tried, I've said 'starting tomorrow I'll watch at least 2 hours less TV', or 'I won't snack so much', or 'I'll turn the computer off for a couple of hours tomorrow'. And you know what? I keep it, for the first couple of weeks and then I'm right back where I started. What I think is that you get used to the things you want to, or that you really need. But sometimes things never fit into your routine or your plans as much as you try. That's why people make plans to go to the gym and never do, you don't have something to motivate you enough to make it part of your daily-life. So why disappoint yourself when you don't succeed? But then again, that means that you'll always be the same person and you won't improve at all. So what do I do? Well you do small changes at the time, you can't expect to be ok working out every single day when you are a potato couch like me. You do a little today and put some music so you enjoy it and you'd want to come back instead of feeling like you have to. That's what works for me so far, I know it's lame but every person needs to find something that makes them feel like they can accomplish something without having to feel like they're climbing a mountain every time. The small things make a difference because they're blend in and it's harder to make an excuse for not doing them.
I'm going to laugh at this in the morning 'cause is the result of me writing close to midnight and feeling slightly guilty about all the stuff I should be doing to improve myself and I'm not.
