My New Year’s Resolution

             Some may say that new year’s resolution are just a waste of time as they’re nothing more than just a long list of should that we don’t mind and take to heart.

As we enter the year 2011 with buzzing resolution in our ears and with the excitement we felt, it won’t easily get vanish. No matter how we divert and exhaust ourselves to work, it will linger there till we try to do it.

Confident to say that retention is much longer when written and be seen always to remind us of what we want and what we need.

But I think New Year is not just a preparation to start a new beginning but also a good time for review. Failures and disappointments that struck us can be analyzed not to commit the same mistake.

According to Douglas Vermeeren, a best-selling author of goal setting and human performance, we fail and get disappointed because we are targeting a much higher objective.  A goal we sought to be achievable while not.

The previous year was a failure to me because I set my resolution a bit complicated. Lesson learned from the mistakes and the “should” that didn’t put to mind and heart thus I make my resolutions simpler.

Let me share you my simple way of starting the year’s right.

·         Refrain eating at a fast food stores.

Ø  It is more expensive than cooking at home. Foods are unhealthier than home-cooked meals as they contain higher amount of salt, fats and calories.

·         Avoid ordering extra rice.

Ø  Ordering extra rice means an extra cost. The price of rice is half outside when you bought and cooked for yourself.

·         Ride a tricycle only when needed.

Ø  Switching to walking may not only save you money but makes you healthy. This might sounds too easy but it can help reduce high cholesterol, lower blood pressure and the risk of coronary heart disease and strokes.

·         Invest in health.

Ø  The most important investment anyone can have. Good health indicates long and happier life.

·         Give more time to God.

Ø  Praying and believing in Him is only the best thing everyone must do. This give us courage and strength in struggling the year to come.
