Maybe that&#8217;s because we set them too big &#8212; I&#8217;m going to get my novel published and make the New York Times bestseller list &#8212; or because we set them too vague &#8212; I&#8217;m going to get in shape and get healthy. Or maybe we just never meant them at all so we never put any intention behind it?<br \/>\nA while back I read some good advice from a favorite blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/zenhabits.net\/the-definitive-guide-to-sticking-to-your-new-years-resolutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zen Habits<\/a>: pick just one habit you&#8217;d like to start or quit and work on that change exclusively for two months. Then you can add another.<br \/>\nThis spring, I decided I was going to practice piano every day. It&#8217;s not always easy, either because I&#8217;m busy or unmotivated, but I just made a commitment to make a habit. Once I had momentum on it, it seemed easier. Now John is used to me disappearing for a while after dinner, and will ask if we&#8217;re out at night, &#8220;Should we get home so you can practice?&#8221;<br \/>\nI haven&#8217;t set any new resolutions\/goals\/changes for 2012, though. Maybe because I&#8217;m still absorbing the lessons of tremendous transformation in 2011? Definitely have room for improvement &#8212; I just need to make my plan and stick with it.<br \/>\n<strong>Do you make New Year&#8217;s resolutions? Why or why not?
