A brief rant about New Year’s Resolutions. Actually, more of a rant that about people that roll their eyes at others. People tend to get a little huffy at the end of a year about the influx of folks about to crowd the local gyms (depending where you live in 2020). (Cont...)
The year end is the time for people to reflect on where they are, and how far they’ve come in this wild and wooly world. And some of those people are brave enough to want to try and make some changes. (Cont…)
Whether that be to lose weight, or reconnect with family members, or try and get on top of an addiction that has been gaining ground on them — these changes, no matter what they may be, are tough to make. Especially in a year such as this. (Cont…)
And, when you have people rolling their eyes at the mention of New Year’s Resolutions online, it can be deflating. Yes, the turning of another calendar year is relatively meaningless in the grand scheme of things. However… if it helps bring about change? Who cares? (Cont…)
And yeah, maybe some of the people out there who take their best swing at whatever it is they want to do to better themselves — maybe they’ll whiff at it. But, you know what? That’s none of your damn business. Is it? Champ. So slow your roll. (Cont…)
The fact of the matter is, just by swinging and missing they’re breaking patterns in their lives — which is huge — or at the very least trying to make a positive change. Which for some people is bloody well monumental. So, for those nay-sayers out there, here’s a tip. (Cont…)
Maybe — and this is a wild thought — but, MAYBE instead of being a total juicearse and condemning everyone trying to affect change within themselves, maybe you could try supporting them instead. Wanna know why? Cause it’s fucking hard, bro. (Cont…)
Those of you out there trying to do something to improve how you feel, or think, or connect with other people. You’re a Rockstar. As somebody who has been both on and off that path with you for a while, here’s a pro tip for free. Be patient. Be kind. Be forgiving. (Cont…)
Not to the judgers and juicearses, but to yourself. Motivation is motivation. It doesn’t matter whether it comes at the end of a fireworks display, or the end of a doctor’s appointment. As long as it comes. Here’s to 2021. Now, go out there and swing for the fences.
