SUMITWORDS WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAPPY NEW YEAR :) BE HAPPY :)
MAKE RESOLUTION BUT DON'T BREAK
Making New Year Resolutions is a common tradition practised all around the globe. New Year resolutions are where a person makes a promise to himself or herself to follow some act or break some habit throughout the entire year. But have you ever thought the reason behind promising something and carrying on with your resolutions? We suppose you don’t know, so here is the myth behind making such promises to God and to oneself at the start of the year. Long ago, the Babylonians promised to the Almighty that they would return all borrowed objects and pay off their debts. New Year Resolutions are nothing but promises that reflect one’s wrong deed and God offers forgiveness in exchange. In fact, New Year Resolutions came from Lenten sacrifice and the concept reflects self-improvement throughout the year.
There are great examples and a long list of to-do resolutions, but it seems as these are not followed regularly. We hear a lot of people saying, ‘Iss saal kum oily khana khaunga, vajan kam karunga, gymjaunga’ so on and so forth. But a majority of us break New Year Resolutions by the second week of January itself!
The most common reason behind breaking resolutions is that people over enthusiastically make such commitments but later on regret and break them, further blaming their work schedules, lack of confidence and much more. So better keep just one resolution at a time instead of too many, we suggest. This New Year’s Eve, we highlight some popular resolutions that are never fulfilled! Take a look:
1. Lose Weight and Get Fit
This is one of the most common New Year resolutions, where people totally avoid consuming candies, cookies, sweets just to lose inches of weights. We see people joining gyms and other fitness club just to keep their resolutions going. But they hardly end up going to the gym even for the entire first month of the year.
2. Quit Smoking
Hmm, thinking of quitting smoking? Why think? Simply act on it. We hope you all know what smoke does to your body. Good luck to all those dedicated smokers and hope you quit it as soon as possible. This is another common New Year Resolution never kept!
3. Reduce Stress
The people who worry a lot tend to make a New Year Resolution of having a stress-free year. Stress relief can help you be healthier and even happier, so better stop worrying and start enjoying life! But unfortunately, the New Year Resolution of stress is the first and the foremost thing that can break very easily.
4. Spend Time with Family
People don’t usually get time for their family these days, so what can be really best than to reconnect with your family on this New Year? Plan an outing with family and kickstart your New Year with loads of fun. But the question is, will you be able to maintain this New Year Resolution throuhgout the year?
6. Quit Alcohol
Alcoholics often make a New Year Resolution of drinking less. But this type of New Year Resolution hardly lasts for more than a few weeks! Consuming less alcohol or totally avoiding it is good for health and even your wallet. Why to keep on boozing simply for nothing? Instead, try health drinks.
7. Improve Finances
Often, people take an account of their finances in December, and since it’s not the end of the financial year, they make a New Year Resolution of making amends by March when the business year ends. There are a lot of people searching for an opportunity to manage their debts more effectively. Planning such stuff is a difficult task and people are not able to manage debts and save throughout the year.
8. Achieve Good Grades
Guilt-ridden students often take a pledge on New Year’s of achieving good grades in their exams and impressing their parents. Studying hard and achieving good grades can make your parents smile and forget all their stress. But this New Year Resolution is often broken by distracted students! But we would say, keep trying. All the best!
9. Volunteer for Social Causes
This is an uncommon New Year Resolution and is broken only when there is a lack of initiative. Let’s take a pledge of changing the mindset of people and making our planet a better place to live in. Volunteering can give you immense happiness and a bit of help offered to others doesn’t hurt.
10. Self-Improvement
‘I will improve myself’ – this is a rather common New Year Resolution encompassing whatever you want to improve upon. This New Year, let’s try and change one self in a positive way. Stop being rude, childish, nasty, arrogant, selfish and instead try some good qualities like respecting others and being a good listener rather than speaker, and showing some maturity where required.
So, are you one of those resolution breakers, who certainly give up the next day, or will you keep your promises? Welcome the New Year with a new resolve, and wish you a very Happy New Year 2015!
