I never make a new year91裸聊视频檚 resolution.
Why? It91裸聊视频檚 as simple as the fact I know I won91裸聊视频檛 keep it. Not making one in the first place saves me from future disappointment and the feeling of failure.
It91裸聊视频檚 not that there aren91裸聊视频檛 things I91裸聊视频檇 like to resolve to do. I have books I want to read, hiking trails I want to traverse and snowboard tricks I want to learn.
Unfortunately for me, the turn of the year will not magically bring me any more time or energy. I91裸聊视频檒l still be working 40 hours a week and trying in vain to keep up with chores and errands.
In all likelihood, my books will remain unopened, new hiking trails will not be the recipient of my footprints and I91裸聊视频檇 be immeasurably stoked to learn a board slide, let alone a 360.
If this all seems depressing to you, well, it is. But it also isn91裸聊视频檛, because I91裸聊视频檓 going to work hard to prove myself wrong.
One of the most unfortunate lessons I have learned during my 23 rotations around the sun is that making improvements to my life takes time and dedication. Lame, right?
I learned that the hard way in my efforts to overcome my then-awful Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that pretty-well ruined two years of my late teens. Seeing a therapist, getting a prescription and getting back into the outside world doing things I love proved to be immensely difficult. It also gave me perspective.
I didn91裸聊视频檛 beat that overnight. In fact, something like that never really goes away; it just became manageable thanks to my efforts.
Applying that logic to my everyday life (in which I think about action sports 24/7), I91裸聊视频檓 not going to learn a board slide overnight. I also probably won91裸聊视频檛 ever learn every trick I want to 91裸聊视频� and that91裸聊视频檚 okay.
I reckon I91裸聊视频檓 one of the world91裸聊视频檚 strongest advocates for telling people not to beat themselves up and celebrating the small victories in everyday life.
So if you91裸聊视频檙e fed up with new year91裸聊视频檚 resolutions, join me in just trying to do your best instead.
