Caution: If you are an ardent believer of new year's resolutions and typical " open the bottle" types, sorry, I am not responsible for the abusing words ( or at least , not good words) in this post. I really didn't mean to discourage YOU !
OK, stupid sounds too harsh.. but seriously, do you think your life will change in one day just because you have a new calendar and a new list of resolutions in front of you ?
First of all, take a look at your past year.( i.e 1.1.14 to 28.12.14)
-You promised to exercise regularly.
-You went " OH! NO ! No sugar from today" on JAN 1st 2014.
-You made up your mind to study harder. Okay, at least , study "something" the day before semester exams.
- You posted on facebook that you would travel more this year, explore amazing cities and countries!
- You said " Promise maaaa!!!! only few minutes of Facebook / Whatsapp from today " to your mom.
- You promised to stick to your budget and stop donating too much to SPI cinemas or PVR cinemas and yeah , right, that also includes the red bucket of extra- cheesy- butter -popcorn and cold coffee.
- You had enough clothes in your cupboard ! SO, you made it a point in your resolution list to never over shop again
- No more fights. "I will learn to control my anger and solve issues peacefully" was your next point.
- Or whatsoever was on that A4 sheet of paper/ New year Diary/ Note taking app/ Some random sheet on earth.
The problem with New Year’s resolutions is that they’re typically endless and slightly depressing. Losing weight and exercising more, for example, are huge shifts in lifestyle, and lifestyle changes are harder to realize. Plus, most of us aren’t going to fulfill our resolutions anyway ( Well. if you fulfilled this year's resolutions completely, call me, I wanna talk to YOU and get those awesome tips )
My point is , dude , why wait for a new date, new calendar , new month to start working towards your goal ? You are NOT going to suddenly wake up on your new year with new attitude towards life or you will not suddenly get that bottle full of positivity on your new year day.
If nothing is going to change in a day, Choosing a single day to change your attitudes isn't just logical. When the day itself isn't logical, why do you want to celebrate it ?
I personally feel it's just a reason for people to get drunk, roam around , yell everywhere !!! If you feel like drinking, go now, have your glass and satisfy yourself.If you want to roam in the beach, take me along with you , anyday, I am ready. You don't need to wait for that "single night" to do all those stupidity. You can do it anytime, anyday. I agree, it does feel good and all when some random stranger on the road wishes you a " haaaaappppppy new yeaaaaar " but what the hell is going to change with your wish da ! Life didn't change for me in a single day , even when my closest ones wished me, let alone a stranger's wish of luck! It's not that I am being pessimistic or somthing, I'm calling for an end to these stupid promises that we make to ourselves on the brink of a new year.
YES ! New Year's Resolutions are sincere — people don't say to themselves "I want to remain healthy for only half year" I can understand...but you have to be committed to these goals. You have to be ready to start making lifestyle changes immediately. ( OH ! Just now you ate that cheesy cake made for christmas , didn't you ? Don't worry, Start from now ) Because while January 1st signifies the start of a new calendar year, actual change starts with YOUR internal clock, and that clock is already ticking..... Tick tick tick...
