What I do instead of a New Year's Resolution

Has the “New Year” feeling worn off yet? Great. Because you don’t need it to be January 1st, or the first of any month to make a resolution, set a goal, or start working on something new.

Every year, millions of people around the world make New Year’s resolutions to be better and improve something in their lives in the year ahead. And that’s really amazing, and something that should 100% be celebrated, because although the majority of resolutions are never realized, there’s something so admirably human about being ambitious and wanting better for yourself that we just have to appreciate.

In many of my conversations since January 1st, a recurring theme I’ve heard is “I don’t make resolutions” or “New Year’s resolutions are dumb, they never work out.”
