Words With Lisbeth

I’m not going to give you the New Years hoopla. The Rah-Rah. The “Go Get ‘Em” speech. The Resolutions Parade.

F*** resolutions. If they worked, we wouldn’t have to keep making the same ones. You know: Eat better, get more sleep, WOD more, work harder, etc. Instead, resolutions are all too often just a bunch of empty promises we make to ourselves. We’d like them to hold true, we’d like to be that person we see in our mind when we make all those resolutions. But, all too often, we simply are not. But that’s okay — because once we can identify our problems, we can start to solve them.

(One caveat though: If resolutions work for you — truly work — then keep making them. Use what works for you.)

But if your resolutions don’t work for you, then why make them? Instead, just act. There’s no law that says you have to think, decide, plan, and then act. Sometimes, in some cases, you might be better off just acting.

Less talk. More walk. Less planning. More results. Skip to the part where you can make things happen.

If your life is not where you want it to be, the easiest way to change it is to change it.  Really. So, maybe it’s time not to talk. Maybe it’s time to just do.
