Apparently according to the Mayans or the people who study them,
the world is going to end this year on the 21st, I am not one to
believe in that sort of thing. One could do crazy things like blowing all their
life savings( not that I have any) just because someone said the world is
ending just to wake up the next morning only to find the world intact and realizing just how silly they were to believe such things. Remember year 2000, wasn’t the
world supposed to end then as well? I can’t actually believe people spend their
lives trying to research this end of the world stuff and make documentaries
just to scare us (and actually get paid to do this).

New Year’s
Resolutions
Now back to reality, it’s almost the end of the year and New
Years Day is almost upon us, now usually many people reflect on the year that
was and make New Year’s resolutions and most people have lose weight and get
fit in their list but soon after the first couple weeks of Jan after over
populating the gym’s for those few weeks these resolutions people start
dropping of the face of the gym one by one until gym-land is normal again.

Why New Year’s
Resolutions are a Waste of time
I do not really know why people do not stick to their new
year’s resolutions or why they make them every year even though they know they
will not take those resolutions seriously. It may be that momentarily they
reflect on the year that has passed and realise that they are still fat or out
of shape and they have done nothing to change it, then they make a promise to themselves
to change their behaviour and to eat better and work out only to forget that
promise one they are not in reflection mode or once they figure out that
getting in shape is not going to be as easy as they thought it was going to be.

The problem with New Year’s resolutions is that the day they
are made has no real significance to people so they do not take the promises
they make to themselves seriously. Also there is no one to hold them
accountable for themselves if they do not do what they promise to do. It is
pretty difficult to hold yourself accountable, it takes a lot of self
discipline which many people simply do not have, they also do not have enough
motivation or dedication to the cause which makes it easy to always take the
easy way out which is to eat rubbish and lead sedentary lives.

It is much better to make resolutions on days with more
importance to you like your birthday or the day a loved one died so that when
you place importance on that day and you take the resolutions you take
seriously. It is also much better if you publicly announce to someone you care
about what you want to change and accomplish and you tell them to push and
remind you, something like a bet on something of value to you if you do not
follow through on the things you promised to do in order to achieve the day you
made the resolution.

Also another form of motivation you could use is to have
some sort of reward for yourself or someone else if they actually accomplish
what they resolved to do.

Do Not Make New Years Resolutions
I am not a fan of New Year’s resolutions, my goals are not
usually determined by a year ending but by different time frames because all
goals are not equal, some are short and require less time and effort than
others. Also short goals ultimately fit into longer term goals. I believe
everything we do is a building block until in the end you will have the final
masterpiece. Please do not make resolutions you can’t keep, stop lying to
yourselves. If you do make New Year’s resolutions make sure you put in all the
effort, and surely you will achieve your goals, gaining muscle is not hard,
losing weight is not hard millions or people have done it, millions more will
do it, what is stopping you?
