I just read Leo Babauta's blog post about new year's resolutions - no, wait, new HABITS. Already sounds so much better! Habits, Leo says, require more patience than resolutions (that never last) but in the long run they can lead to a real change in your life. What's a better way to start a new blog than linking to this great post ;)
A new year, a new slate of resolutions.
Perhaps the biggest resolution at New Year’s is to get fit — start exercising, start eating right, and all that jazz.
But resolutions never last. As you might already know, I’m not a fan of resolutions.
Instead of creating a list of resolutions this year, create a new habit.
Habits last, and they lead to long-term fitness (and more). They require more patience, but they are worth the wait.
