Resolutions

How it can already be the 26 th of January, I do not know.  Too late to write about resolutions?  Not really.  I´ve been thinking about this post since several people asked me if I had any new year´s resolutions.   I didn´t waver.  The answer: no.

It´s not that I´m against resolutions.  It´s just that I make resolutions all the time.  Some are bigger and more meaty, some are small things that seem insignificant, but what they really are is me actively thinking about how I want to live my life and how I want to be in this world.

I don´t meet them all.  In fact, meeting them all is not really the point for me.  It´s the process of trying new things, playing with new ways that interests me.  I mean, if I´m sitting here feeling sluggish and I think getting more exercise would help, why not decide right now to get more exercise and come up with a plan?   I may not have the plan in this moment, but I can decide that I need a plan within a week.  Why wait for the new year?  If I want to read more, why not decide now to add that to my routine.

There will always be too many things to do.  Always.  There will always be an answer for why to put something off.  But really, what´s the point of waiting?  And if something really is too much right now, because sometimes it is, then make a point of letting go of it for now and getting on with the rest of life.

What is your resolution for the day?
