It91裸聊视频檚 an annual end-of-year exercise in futility for many. But a clean slate has arrived for the next round of resolutions.
From the first spray of fireworks to the closing chorus of 91裸聊视频淎uld Lang Syne91裸聊视频� 366 days into the future 91裸聊视频� 2024 is a leap year 91裸聊视频� it could be the year for finally achieving long-elusive goals, fulfilling aspirations and being resolute on all those New Year resolutions.
91裸聊视频淎s humans, we are creatures that aspire,91裸聊视频� said Omid Fotuhi, a social psychologist who is a motivation and performance researcher.
91裸聊视频淭he fact that we have goals, the fact that we want to set goals is just a manifestation of that internal and almost universal desire to want to stretch, to want to reach, to want to expand and grow,91裸聊视频� said Fotuhi, the director of learning innovation at Western Governors University Labs and a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh.
91裸聊视频淣ew Year91裸聊视频檚 resolutions are one of those ways in which we do that,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 something very liberating about a fresh start. Imagine starting on a blank canvas. Anything is possible.91裸聊视频�
If so, could this be the year to run a marathon, vanquish (or make peace with) old foes such as the bathroom scale and a thickening waist? Maybe learn Mandarin or register to vote, and actually vote? So many questions, and so much time to delay.
Tim Williams used to issue himself a panoply of resolutions: lose weight, drink less, exercise more and yada yada.
Now, he doesn91裸聊视频檛 bother.
91裸聊视频淚n the past, I would make them, and I would fail or give up on them or whatever,91裸聊视频� said Williams, a part-time resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Carla Valeria Silva de Santos, a Florida transplant from Brazil, wants to learn to play the guitar. A native Portuguese speaker, she wants to learn Spanish and improve her English.
With any resolution, she said, the ultimate goal is 91裸聊视频渢o improve your life and be in peace with yourself.91裸聊视频�
Josh Moore, another Fort Lauderdale resident, sees things in line with the natural philosopher Sir Isaac Newton and physics. For every action there must be an equal reaction.
91裸聊视频淚f you do something like eat a bunch of candy or a bunch of desserts at a holiday party, go run,91裸聊视频� he said while interrupting a jog with his dog. 91裸聊视频淢aybe you went out drinking too much and you might have a hangover. But then next day when you91裸聊视频檙e feeling better, go to the gym.91裸聊视频�
Too many people are too soft on themselves, he posited. 91裸聊视频淵ou91裸聊视频檝e got to actually hold yourself accountable.91裸聊视频�
Resolutions don91裸聊视频檛 have to be big, grandiose or overly ambitious, Fotuhi said.
Even if they are, he said value should not exclusively be derived from the achievement but also be measured by what you become by trying to better yourself.
91裸聊视频淕oals are only there to serve a function to get you started,91裸聊视频� Fotuhi said. 91裸聊视频淚f they don91裸聊视频檛 do that, then maybe that91裸聊视频檚 not the appropriate goal for you.91裸聊视频�
In other words, it is a time to recalibrate goals and expectations, he said, adding that some people hang on to outdated goals for way too long.
91裸聊视频淚f you set a goal that91裸聊视频檚 overly ambitious, that doesn91裸聊视频檛 have the effect of getting you excited and making you believe that it91裸聊视频檚 possible, then maybe you should think about a goal that91裸聊视频檚 a little bit more within your reach 91裸聊视频� starting with a 5k for instance, then moving up to 10K,91裸聊视频� Fotuhi said.
