A good resolution excuse

Betsy Stein | 12/31/09

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. I don’t usually make them, because I rarely keep them. Someone told me recently that resolution failure isn’t really a will power or self control issue, but actually how our brains are wired. I did a bit of research and found this interesting article from the Wall Street Journal.
It sounds like a good reason to cop out! But there are a few things I would like to try to do this year anyway. I may not be successful, but at least I realize they are changes I should make. I just need to make a little room in my brain to remember them.
Here they are:
Not only spend more time with my kids, but try to enjoy them more.
Plan more date nights (or days) with my husband.
Eat more fruit.
Doesn’t seem to0 overwhelming. I’ll let you know in a month or two if I’ve made any progress.
