“New Year, New Me”, Or Something Like That
How many of you have read the words, “New Year, New Me!”
on social media within the last 3 weeks? Being a
millennial (sorry to make you all feel old), I think I have
read those words at least 100 times on Instagram,
Facebook or Twitter. However, we are officially 24 days
into the new year, and I am beginning to wonder how
many of those people have kept up with their new motto,
“New Year, New Me”. So many New Year’s resolutions
have started, and some probably have already ended by now. Let’s face it, most resolutions are made just to be broken; like how my “no sweets January” was broken about by January 2nd.
So, my question to you is not what your New Year’s resolution is (or was at this point);
but instead, what will you do this week that might seem small, but is a challenge you
can accomplish for at least one week. Sometimes one week can lead to two, which
leads to a month and eventually a lifestyle change; and then you can truly post on social
media “New Year, New Me”.
