The great thing about the New Year is that one can resolve to make positive changes in one’s life without having to have a reason other than it is simply a new year. Why should I change something now? Because it a new year!
What is the most common New Years resolution? Eat better? Exercise more? Get along with significant other? Organize? Quit smoking? Stop texting so much? Watch less TV? Everyone who has tried to accomplish these goals knows how hard it is to change learned behavior. Just ask any psychologist.
How about a more realistic goal? How about improving your personal living environment? What is a personal living environment? It could be your home, your office, your personal jet or your yacht. It’s where you spend much of your time.
By improving your personal living environment, you improve your life. For example, just rearranging the furniture can lift one’s spirits. Cleaning can be therapeutic and even empowering. In fact, dare I say, cleaning or having cleaning done for you can be so uplifting that those other seemingly impossible goals for the New Year don’t seem so far out of reach after all.
So, let’s get down to basics. Improve your living environment and realize those dreams of weight loss, an upward career move and true romance for the New Year. Happy New Year!
