Dear Readers,
A dear friend has requested that I blog something today. So, here I am blogging. She was looking for some motivation for the month of February. And really, I think we all are. February is rough. Living in the Midwest as I do, it is the last month of winter. I've never really met anyone that is absolutely in love with the month of February. So, I'm writing today to motivate us all to get in love with February. I think February is a good time to re-evaluate where we are at with our New Year's Resolutions. For many of us, those resolutions are long forgotten. And you know what? THAT IS FINE.
I'm not going to pressure you, and ask you for your reasons as to why you haven't kept up with whatever it is that you resolved to do. I'm even going to go as far as to say that it's ok that you haven't kept up with them.
Resistance to change is part of the process. And even if you haven't kept after whatever you said it was that you were going to change about yourself this year...It is fine.
If your goal is important to you, you will find it within yourself to renew your passion and re-focus your energy on that goal.
If now in February, you have realized that your goal does not really fit in with your life, that is fine as well. You can always find another goal. Or revise your original goal that more aligns with your life as it is now.
And if you've kept after your resolution...Awesome. Just keep going. Keep doing whatever it is that you have been doing.
My point with this post is not to make you feel upset or bad about what you haven't done. My guess is, you already feel bad about it. And don't need me on your case.
All I want to say is that you have it within yourself to keep going after your goal. Even if you haven't kept up with it. You can start now. Today.
Resolutions can be made whenever. They don't have to be made January 1st. They can be made throughout the year, at any given time. Even in February.
You can make a resolution today. Or tomorrow. But, might I suggest today. Because there will always be a tomorrow, and a way to push back your goal. Honor your goal. Keep going. And do something about it today.
You can do it. Just keep going. Take it a day at a time. Personally, I take my days an hour at a time. That way I get 24 chances for success. If one hour is bad, there will always be another. Don't let one bad hour, day, or month run your life. You get 24 chances a day. One of those is bound to be good. Go with it. Go with what is good in your life. And then just keep going. You have this.
Cheers to February!
