Healthy Resolutions

Posted by Arja on December 21 in Holistic Health

It’s that time of year again…  We are in the midst of Christmas and all of the holiday indulgences and at the same time contemplating the end of one year and the start of another.  For many, this is a time of retrospection that leads to resolutions and promises to achieve goals in the New Year.  There are many who consider this practice psychologically unhealthy, but that doesn’t change the fact that many people make New Year’s resolutions.  Many of these resolutions centre around weight loss and improved health, but many goals also centre around personal growth, improved financial status or just generally adding more balance to one’s life.  The sad truth, however, is that a large percentage of people fail to succeed at achieving whatever it is they resolved to accomplish.  Why is that?  In some cases, people start off strong but cannot maintain the initial pace that they’ve set for themselves and within a few months they are off track completely.  Sometimes people set goals for themselves that are not realistic.  In most cases, however, people are trying to make changes but do not have adequate support or knowledge to help them set realistic goals and stay on track for success.

Practice forgiveness…

There are arguments and misunderstandings with others but sometimes, being forgiving means being able to forgive yourself too.
