If you have already had your Hello Sixty moment, then trust me, on New Year’s Day it is OK to say NO to New Year Resolutions!
Really, why put yourself through it, planning to deprive yourself of this that and possibly the other. For what reason exactly?
If you are thinking of resolutely changing your ways, by only eating chocolate on a Tuesday, or vowing not to be so opinionated or gobby in 2015, who exactly you are doing it all for.
Don’t do it to please others, or because you’ve read one too many Sunday Supplements.
I’m all for self-improvement, but let’s make it something that benefits us and makes us look and feel better. Chocolate in moderation is good for you, and who wants to be boring.
Why not simply commit to doing more things to enhance your life and wellbeing instead of doing less things that experts would have us believe are bad for us. Makes much better sense to me!
So I’m going to carry on with the chocolate and being a gobby cow, but I will also resolutely make the effort to paint my nails every week, and write far more missives for my blog in 2015.
Bugger that joining the gym or cutting out the Cava, far too extreme in my view. Life’s too short!
At 60, surely we are who we are ever going to be. People love us as we are, and if they don’t then tough shit, do we really care. I don’t, and nor should you.
Couldn’t agree more honey. Like you, my only New Year commitment is writing related. I’ve resolved to write my first book in 2015, and I’ve already made a start. And I’ll raise a glass of cava to more blog posts from you – I look forward to them, because I know you’ll tell it like it is and give us all a good laugh at the same time. Happy New Year xx
Resolutions go out the window anyway and THEN you feel really bad. I agree, why make them in the first place?
