New Year resolutions

 The prompt of Blogchatter under their Bloghop series for the week 29th November- December 5th 2022 was "Are resolutions still valid?"








Any use of new year resolutions? 

are resolutions still valid you ask? 

wait a minute, what has period to do with it? 

It is as valid or as invalid as it used to be!  


People laugh, poke fun , have a cheshire smile on face 

say, new year resolutions are meant to be broken  

yet resolutions help you till such time they are broken! 

true for some it's 6 to 8 months, for others just a week or month 

yet how will you know your resolve, your  willpower 

if you haven't tested  or started in the first place? 


So go ahead make resolutions, monitor them

give them a chance- better still, have them at any time of year

when passion, drive seems to be  at its peak 

share with a friend, spouse, soulmate

who will support, cajole, reprimand

anything it takes  to see you succeed!  


After all, "The journey of a thousand miles 

begins with one step"!

  1. I have not seriously made a new year resolution. But, I have made resolutions on other days, and I have been able to stick to them quite successfully. Probably, if I did on Jan 1 too, probably I might stick to it, may be not!

  3. Very nicely explained that resolutions need not be made in the beginning of the year but whenever you feel right.

  6. I had stuck to my new year resolutions firmly in 2012 and 2018. However now my willpower is no longer the same. Hence I do not make any resolutions and put undue pressure on myself.

  7. Perhaps they can be set loosely rather than rigid tight, so that the journey is as enjoyable as the destination!
