Am I Making New Years Resolutions?

I've seen a lot of New Years resolutions and plans for 2017 and I can't help but think I should be making some of my own. But do we need to make resolutions to have a good successful year? I used to always think I did but the more I actually stop and think about it, I really don't. I came to a few conclusions whilst I was sat thinking about this and I thought I would share them with you.

I feel to some extent that some people set themselves NY resolutions to then publish or tell friends/family etc, in the hope that they don't want to disappoint the ones they've told. Therefore giving themselves the motivation and push that they need to complete them.

Then there is the people who set a few (fairly) achievable goals and tell the world. Post pictures of them doing so. And continue to tell everyone until they have completed them. To then think they are gods gift and that they can shoot down someone else who many have not achieved theirs. Now I am such a believer of giving people motivation and a boost but when you start putting them down because you think you've done better, then that is not okay.

Myself, like some others keep quiet about everything. They set their goals in silence and continue to smash them until they are achieved. Even then, only some will share this success with you. Some are happy to sit back, smile at themselves and say "I done this for me"

I have a weird concept of time and find New Year in itself a slightly weird concept. Time is somewhat fiction so what does one days difference make to you as a person? Do you suddenly change overnight as if a switch has been pressed?

I am a believer that if you want to change then you will. No time will change that. Maybe you need the time as a starting point, but as a whole you should just do it because you want to, not because you are just following suit. I do have stuff I want to achieve this year but they are not my new years resolutions. If they happen they happen but if not then thats fine. There is plenty time to work on them.

Im not entirely sure where I was going with this ramble but it's been stuck in my head and I wanted to voice it. If you have resolutions of your own this year, I hope you absolutely smash them and if you don't then you be you. You're fab either way :)

Best wishes.
