Any toughts about a new year resolution?

I'm gonna aim to stay true to myself for the whole year and beyond. I'm not going to compromise how I feel or what I believe for anyone and am going to be 100% authentic. That's what I wanna do

 

to clear the mind of insincerity

transcendent absolute sincerity

to develop transcendent absolute Will,

to develop transcendent absolute discipline,

forever transcendent absolute discipline,

and so

 

My goals are fitness related. Run 100km a month. Ride 300km. Structured around base runs and recovery rides in the week, and a beast interval run/ride and long slow run/ride at the weekend. Do daily bodyweight workout and stretches.

Oh, and stick with the NoFap. It's starting to make a bit of a difference.

OP's goals sound awesome. Achieve even half of that, is going places. Good places too.

 

I don't want to be the killjoy here, but new year's resolutions are 90%+ of the times, useless.

Your goals are all positive and good, which is awesome of course.

I tell you all this to bring in some consciousness.

Read this article, or these stats.

Only around 8% of people accomplish their new year's goals. And that's considering not all people set life-changing goals.

My point is, you have to be disciplined. The new year is just an extra boost of motivation, but the true motivation should come from one self.

The motivation that makes you disciplined enought to do daily goal setting as I do. Not that I'm an example to follow, but I've learned my lessons over the years of trial and error.

Also I recommend prioritizing your goals, and strive to achieve only the most life-changing one or two, then you'll have time to improve the rest.

I hope it helps.

 

Using an arbitrary date for motivation is pointless. At best it is fleeting and has no effect whatsoever after a few days. Stronger, better reasons are required here.

 

Come on man, there's no need to be all high and mighty like that. Although at its root it is just another day, there's no reason someone can't try to set a goal from that date to accomplish something.

 

We are not being 'high and mighty', it is a statistical improbability - 8%.

 

Perhaps new year's resolutions in terms of goal setting rather than "I'm going to do this in 2015" or "I'm not going to do that" would be more helpful. Decide what you want to achieve and work towards it.

I agree with Total Life Change. Not many people take new year's resolutions seriously anyway. Besides, if you want to achieve something- NOW is the time to start working towards it- not in 3-4 weeks.

 

Yeah you clearly got that right!

Hi! I suggest that you start using Anki for that (if you haven't already), and try to integrate each word into a sentence. If you go for Anki, you have https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/301952613

I'm getting back into running aince becoming a fat slob for the last few years. I've just signed up for a half marathon in june, plenty of time to train to do it justice.

 

I too struggle with this waiting on the right time to start my change. With smoking for example I will tell myself "Next Monday I will quit." if its a tuesday. The date is just an excuse because deep inside I know I'm not ready. But there is no "perfect" time, the time is now and the battle is long and overwhelming. But I believe we all can stand tall against our inner demons and slay them. Let's try to get a head start on our resoultion!
