Still haven’t made a resolution for 2012? Ok, cool! That’s neat. I’ll spare you the full details on how I feel about making a resolution on one day (usually a day is filled with too much residual alcohol or reality TV for one to think rationally) that is supposed to last you an entire year, but let’s just say I don’t think it’s the most fruitful way to exercise our mental muscles. Certainly we can find ways to challenge ourselves on a daily basis that don’t involve impossibly-high standards and laxatives.
This link however, a list of 20 New Year’s Resolutions for 20-Somethings, incorporates ideas that can be utilized at any time of year and, for the most part, encourage you to be a better person by adding substance to your life, not taking away from it (e.g. will lose half my body weight; will decrease budget by eliminating all products beginning with the letters r,s,t,l,n,e). I like the idea of volunteering more, eliminating the crutch I sometimes have on social media or the Internets in general, and definitely the part about saving money to hop on a plane and see someone.
Check out the list and see if there’s anything there that speaks to you.
