It is really interesting the psychological effect of a percieved new start. There is nothing really different about December 31st and January 1st. The weather is the same, you are basically the same age, nothing has really changed in your life, but millions of people are incented/motivated to make changes in their life, changes that will make your life better simply because you ripped one more page off of the calendar. And hey, I am a victim of this too!
So, now that it is January, I am incented to eat better again, think about the housing renovation projects I need to complete, thinking about how to working a regular exercise regimen back into my schedule etc...... Just because the year has changed.
I am thinking that the end of the year has the opposite effect as well. Why didn't I resolve to make any of these changes in November or December?
I guess the important thing is how long I keep this all up! Here's to the new year!
PS Obviously, I didn't resolve to be a better blogger! Otherwise I would have managed to post this 3 weeks ago when I started writing this! Hmmmm.......
