Herllo. I am writing from the second Sunday of 2012, (the 8th of January)because I didn't have last Sunday off work. In fact, I haven't had a Sunday off work in about four months or so until now, and I'm at a loss for what to truly do today. Of course, I have neglected any duties for posting blogs and such because a) I am lazy and b) I am just too busy. Now I have mustered up energy to look ahead at the rest of this year.. 8 days into the whole thing of course.
I know we all have to individually look closely at ourselves and set up some resolutions to undoubtedly improve ourselves over the coming year, both physically and mentally. What I don't quite understand is how so many people see New Year's Day as the start of their "crash diet" in a year that is meant to make a "fitter, happier you". People who are giving up a whole snack group cold turkey, as soon as the bell chimes at midnight, are fools for doing so. It's almost as if they can see their failure on January the 2nd, swimming around at the bottom of a Cadbury's Heroes tin, having consumed one too many of the dairy milk. Bloated and defeated, everyone gives up and goes back into their normal routine of eat junk feel shit. Realistic targets, anyone? Ditto smoking, chocolate, cheese...
I've gone the whole hog this year and made TWO resolutions as opposed to the normal one or the never-ending list of faults that neeed to be improved before the year is out. First one is to take a picture every day for thw rest of this year. I did attempt it last year, but seeing as I didn't have a nice little camera or a camera on my phone, I was traipsing a DSLR around everyday. I also didn't start on January 1st, but in sometime mid-February.
The next one is to have more fun than last year, because i think that that is a pretty attainable goal. It's a win-win situation, because I don't think I had that much fun last year. I guess I'll have to strive to include more fun-inducing activities into my daily routine then! Whilst everyone's being all miserable with their celeriac diets and struggling to stay away from the pub, you can waltz straight in and already be enjoying the indulgence much more than the "giver-up-ers". You can have this pint and cigarette guilt free this way! No self esteem breaking things, no damage to self confidence... You can sit in the pub with the pleasure that you are the only one who is truly enjoying their pint without the worries of too much to drink, blood pressure, driving, meant to be cutting down, calorie content or someone else's nagging to ruin it.
Why do you make yourselves so miserable?!
