It.s Happening At The Gym... You Just Have To Be Resolved... ๐Ÿ˜›

It.s Happening At The Gym... You Just Have To Be Resolved... ๐Ÿ˜›

I was at the gym (on the treadmill), when I thought about it. Resolutions are designed for people who want to convince themselves, that they can change. They need reminders ; so they create them, write them down - then advertise to the planet. I wondered if I could pretend and be that 'resolution creator'.

Ever walked into one of those fitness clubs after the holidays? They're jammed with people, who've resolved to make a difference in their lives. Good for them! Except... it takes at least thirty days, to build a new habit. Two or three weeks later and that club - becomes a peaceful place... once again.

So why bother with resolutions? If you want to change a part of your life - go ahead and do it. Don't wait till the first of the year - do it right this minute. You don't need to announce it to the world or share it with anyone. Of course... it's more 'official' - if you do.

I reflected upon some changes, I might make. 'Develop an inner monologue'. 'Remove the purchase of lotto tickets, from my financial plan'. 'Become a more productive person and limit my time - on THIS site'. Then, I realized some things...

No one MY age has an inner monologue, do they? And that lotto jackpot, is over a hundred million. To top things off - I had just spent time, writing this thing. Now there's a bunch of minutes, I'm never getting back. But that's the key : you have to give a fuck, otherwise resolutions are simply hollow promises, scribbled on a piece of paper... or typed in a blog. Suddenly, I noticed her...

An attractive woman (wearing a pink pair of skin tight yoga pants), needed help with the StairMaster. Hang on a sec... I'll be back. There's a resolution I have, that I haven't shared with anyone ... yet.

Unfortunately I cracked and bought a lotto ticket. ๐Ÿ˜‘
I was going to use the word - "fucking" - to describe that ticket, but my 'new' inner monologue caught THAT faux pas. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank goodness.

It's a harmless tradition but I have to admit, my track record isn't very good.

For 2020, I resolve not to make any resolutions involving exercise or food! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Actually, one of my "resolutions" worked out for 2019 - I set a goal of reading 35 books, and met it. Just barely. By starting a really light quick read on December 26, lol.

Ahhh. books. Another thing to add to my list ๐Ÿ“ƒ.
Then again.. they say that you can't change everything all at once. 35? That's a lot. I seem to have drifted towards scientific and health journals. No plot lines and the characters are poorly developed but there's always a punch line. ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Exercise is a state of mind... not really a resolution.

Intriguing words today about resolutions. The people who make them I hope they fulfill them. For me I don't believe in them as its too easy to just forget about them. And if I truly want to do something I just do it. I hope you have a great start to your week.

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..

I don't make resolutions. If I want to change something, I do it when it's necessary and not wait till NYE to start. And you already know how I feel about the amount of time spent on here. Best wishes for a peaceful, happy and successful 2020.
