I read the statistics – new year resolutions are more likely to be attained if they are shared with others.  I know the facts, but I prefer to keep my goals private.  My husband will quickly confirm that I despise being asked about my progress towards a goal.  I don’t want people checking in with me.  Perhaps that’s because I don’t want to discuss setbacks or issues preventing me from being successful.  But even when things are “going good,” I just don’t like to talk about my goals.  It stems mostly from my belief that setting a resolution or a goal begins with a recognition of a “problem.”  And, heck… who wants to publicize their concerns with their own physical well-being, finances, career, or social life.  Not me!  So, thank you very much but I’ll keep my resolutions to myself this year.

However, don’t let my petty issues prevent you from sharing your goals.  I encourage that route.  I’m confident that almost 90% of our ThurstonTalk.com readers have set some resolutions or goals.  Our writers have done an excellent job preparing articles to help New Years Resolvers.  Take a look at our health and fitness articles published over the past week.

Cheers to us all turning over a new page – whether that’s a specific resolution or simply flipping the calendar!
