In Wikipedia's definition - A New Year's resolution is a commitment that a person makes to one or more lasting personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit. This goal must be reached by the Next New Year. Keep in mind that this is a goal, not a wish and should be something that you as a person could strive for.
We all make new year resolution each year, sometimes related to work and more often related to lifestyle.
This year too is no different. With lots of things/activities/commitments/habits around, i am sure it wouldn't be a difficult task to take your pick and get going :)
A fine book reads “People should make their New Year’s resolution something that can improve their quality of life.” some may agree and some may not. But the fact remains that to do justice to a new year resolution, we must, in our heart, know about our commitment level to the same. One just can not keep on sticking to a particular thing just coz he made a resolution on 1st Jan... that too.. when he is not been paid for it (unless your new year resolution is systematically planned to give your career a boost).
If you google ' a good new year resolution ' you will get about a billion result ( counting zeroes in american format ) , take your pick :)
Still wondering what to take up, here i would like to figure it (or them) out ( there is no point telling, you won't b doing it unless you yourself have decided on it ) -
The resolution can be broadly based upon a macro factor affecting your life viz, lifestyle, career, relation, personal development and most important health.
The top runners in list of resolutions is always that of 'trying to quit smoking', which is indeed a good motive ( even though it doesn't bear fruit.. still it would see you less harmed ) doesn't mean that you can not take a resolution relative to your health. There are many options, explore and get going.
A part from developing your overall outlook, Learning a new art or language will definitely boost up your sense of appreciating finer side of life and living. Get in touch with your local guitar classes :)
Taking up a new hobby or outdoor activity requires motivation as well as it automatically makes u more organized in terms of managing your time.
Even if you have a different education, u can take up a subject to do distance degree. Any subject which u loved in school days, but couldn't continue with due to different career choice and professional academic layout.
In all there are many spheres where you can focus your energy on. Just pick one and get going, don't be afraid of failure to keep up with your resolution this year too :)
As far as i am concerned, among others, one of my resolution is to keep updating my blog more frequently :)
Wishing you all a very happy,healthy and successful new year ahead.

All very good in theory, of course, but the sorry truth is that most of us are still likely to end up failing and, what’s worse, feeling like failures. This is a serious problem with resolutions: they’re a fast track to reduced self-esteem. A more radical approach is obviously needed; so here’s my modest proposal. Instead of making resolutions for ourselves, let’s establish a tradition of making them for other people.
ReplyDeletei guess we deciding for others will do no good, at least for the people who fail to their own lack of determination...just a lame smile with "abbey yaar nahi hua..agli baar..." will never actually go..nevertheless for those this thing matters will surely make it count...
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR...
nice one abhinav bhaiya...
Many a times people (including myself) take up the resolution, and leave it in the half way..hence I follow a good practice,.. I start my resolution 1 month before the start of new year, ..and believe me it helps to continue with the resolution in throughout the new year..
ReplyDeleteMy resolutions for this year:
1. Reduce weight (Started Gym)
2. Effective blogging, "http://ekhotablogger.blogspot.com/"
Best Wishes with your resolutions in new year..
Thanks for your feedback guys.
ReplyDeleteWell, I feel whatever it may be but taking up an activity as soon as possible is essential, as later on "ab chodo yaar" will creep in..
Most people are apathetic about New Years Resolutions because of their past failures. And for those people, new years resolutions kinda suck.
ReplyDeleteMy viewpoint is that the answer to that is to change something. Do something you’ve never done. As Nike says, “Just Do It.”
