To not take anything for granted — health, wellness, education, friendships, family and more. Did you make any resolutions in January for how you wanted to spend this year? Two months have passed, and time has now gathered the speed of a concord aircraft; it’s flying faster than we can cope up with.
What drives resolutions?
Motivation is the energy source for accomplishing goals. When we resolve to study more, eat healthy, or be less argumentative, for instance; we could be functioning from many different internal visions. These could vary based on the resolution we make, but are all focused on getting to a better state or space than we already are at.
Think of the motivators, for example, for the resolution to argue less.
You’ve been told that you’re rude.
You could lose your internet privileges.
Friends are seemingly upset with you.
You get headaches when you’re upset.
You don’t like how angry you get.
Respecting others more.

But then, you are human, and you can slip. Do you recall any of the traits that may have contributed to your slip-ups? When you were so sure you had made up your mind, yet tumbled?
