Thoughts on the new year

I don’t have a full post to make, I’ve been lazy over the holidays. But I was thinking that while the New Year is traditionally a time when people commit to change and self-improvement, it doesn’t have to be the only time. You can split the 365 days of the year up however you want, and declare any of them to be the start of a “new year” in which you’ll change yourself for the better.

Most new year’s resolutions get dropped in the first few weeks, and I’ve got some resolution that I’ll likely not keep to. But even if so, I’ll try to pick each of them back up during the year if I can. I don’t have to wait a full year to only start things on January 1st. I can decide that February 1st is also the start of a new year, and re-engage with my resolutions then.

I don’t know if this will work, but it’s what I want to try. When I drop off on my resolutions, I want to pick them back up. So I’ll be trying this outlook in 2024.
