Turn Your Dissolving Resolve into a Positive

Welcome to 2012!  A new year advertises the need for change and growth. We are inundated by the media touting the limitless possibilities that are within our grasp, if only we stick to our goals, if only we make small changes, if only we develop some willpower.  Many of us struggle through week one and then miss a step.  The unconsciously missed step sends us back to our old, comfortable ways.  And then the resolution dissolves, not to be seen again until next December when we’re in the same fix.

I have not made outlandish resolutions this year, given my weak track record from past years.  I have resolved only to make the most of each day.  Of course I’d like to read the classics, eat healthier, get more exercise, and get my novel off the ground, but as I look at each goal, it’s like climbing an ice covered mountain. 

So, I’m going to journal my positives.  I will post them at weekly, more often if time permits.  Seeing my positives in print may improve the overall quality of my life.  It may also propel me forward in my quest for greater life balance.   Sharing life’s little triumphs can help to keep us all uplifted; thus, I invite you to share the positives from your day or your life.
