2013 New Year Resolutions


Us Apes are all back-sliding Animals
On New Year's Eve it is customary to make at least one New Year Resolution.

Some of the more popular resolutions are:

  • To give up smoking.
  • To go on a diet and lose weight.
  • To drink less alcohol.
  • To join a gym or take more exercise.
  • To get a new or better job.
  • To make new friends or re-establish contact with old friends.
  • To find a partner.
  • To spend more time with the family.
  • To save more money or pay off a debt.
  • To learn a new skill or acquire a new interest.
  • To be less selfish and help others more.


Making a resolution is the easy part, keeping a resolution throughout the year is far more difficult.  Human beings are full of good intentions but we are often lacking in resolve. Changing one's established behaviour is a significant challenge and the journey along the road to permanent change is likely to include many detours, periods of static consolidation and much back-sliding.

If you make any unusual or novel resolutions for 2013, why not post them as a comment on my Blog?

Toot and I wish all Blog readers a Happy New Year !
