Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle. – Eric Zorn
Since a new year has begun, new year’s resolutions are just around the corner. The truth is, and I’m quoting this from my bestfriend, “I’m not big on new year’s resolutions”. I think that if we want to resolve or change something, we can do that any day of the year. But it does make it easier to chart when we do it the first day of the year. Just imagine, if you decide to quit smoking and start on January 1 and people ask you how long you have stopped smoking on say, June 1, it’s easy to say that you have stopped for five months already. So that might be the logic behind new year’s resolutions?
Quitting smoking and watching one’s weight ALWAYS top the list of new year’s resolutions. Obviously, many of these kept being broken because obesity is more and more becoming a universal problem. Here are the other resolutions topping the list:
Get fit
Enjoy life more
Quit drinking
Get organised
Learn something new
Get out of debt / Save more
Spend more time with family and friends
Help others
So, where do you fit in this list? I am surprised that “improving one’s action/s or project/s” is not in the list. But if it were, that would be my new year’s resolution. Because this year, aside from drafting goals and wishes for the new year and never new year’s resolutions, I will be drafting resolutions and some of it are for my blog. (I don’t feel comfortable sharing my uber personal resolutions in the blogosphere yet.)
I do want to put more attention to it and regularly write articles. Hopefully, (but again, this is not a resolution but a wish) this will increase traffic. I still have to find out how to really do that and move readers to comment. Because checking my analytics, the traffic is not very bad. I don’t get zero readers a day. But of course, just like in any other project, that can be better. So this year, I am determined for my voice to be heard in the blogosphere. (Now I feel like chickening out. 
)
How about you? Do you have any new year’s resolutions, for yourself or for your blog? #
