What is your unresolution?
It is finally 2015 and I have been hearing a lot of negative talk this year about resolutions. It has been common to hear “I am not having resolutions this year,” when that age old question is asked. It got me to thinking why? Are we not interested in setting goals for ourselves anymore? Is the pressure of aiming for something bigger/harder/better than our current situation too much to handle? OR have we lost faith in the process that must happen to make the changes?
I do not believe this to be true. I do not know one contributing member of society that is without goals for themselves. If we were to create a driven scale, there would be a wide range of levels of motivation, but most have something they want or something they want to be better at.
Americans spend $60 billion dollars a year in search of fitness and/or weight loss. The industry has been growing at an astounding rate the last few decades. In spite of all of this, Americans continue to become less healthy and present with more health issues at earlier and earlier ages. Are we seeing an anti-fitness movement? Will it soon be stylish to buck the fitness system and refuse to be a member at the gym, or order green vegetables with your dinner? Are we tired of all of the media and warped Ideals of what we should look like? Maybe it is time to stop focusing on the “appearance” of fitness and start looking at what we can do when we are fit.
My challenge to you this month is to find something new. Something exciting, that you have never done before. Skiing, Snowshoes, or a mountain you haven’t climbed yet. Your mountain can be real or metaphorical it just needs to be a little scary and a little more than you think your capable of. Find your local climbing gym and take a starter class, or enroll in your local community colleges pottery class. Get yourself out of the house and into the world we live in. I guarantee if you do this you will not need resolutions, but you might find yourself brave enough to make some.
