mention the word resolutions and straight away you'd think of New Years Day because that's when you make resolutions(though one of my colleagues did mention Image resolution). anyway, that's when we reflect on the year to assess how its been, the decisions we've made, listing down better habits to improve on and bad habits to throw away.
i just wonder why is it only done or mentioned once a year. (are you wondering about that now as well?)
statistically, it is pitiful. in 365 days, if we were to follow the festivities, we only allocate one day to reflect?
why not once a week, or even more, everyday?
or is that called crazy and ecentric?
my father told me of a colleague who writes down what he has learned for the day, everyday. disciplinedly. the mistakes and lessons to learn. Christians go to church every week to learn of God, reflect and be refreshed. i feel that resolutions or the act of it got to be done everyday. if not, you'll be doing the same mistake or bad habit for 6 days in a row before reflecting or acting upon it at the end of the week.
in the rat race, i wouldn't be surprise if anyone said there's no time. the days just zooms pass. breaks happens just once in a while. by the end of the day, mentally, we're too tired to be reflecting and reflecting would probably make us more depressed and we'd want to end the day happier.
well, at least its commercially publisized or a tradition to do resolutions yearly. better than none.
'a mistake is only a mistake if you didn't learn from it'.
