As many likely know, I run the Reflections community, which is a place for people look back at pieces of their lives and,
"reflect on life, love, death and everything between"
Hopefully over the last year it has been up, people have found some clarity their their own writings and interactions with others in the community. It might not be the most active community on Hive, but considering it is all longform, it has done pretty well.
However, while looking back is highly useful, we should also look to see what is in front of us.
New community...
I will lose weight
I will quit smoking
I will drink less
I will smile more
I will be grateful
I will eat better
I will work harder
I will save money
I will sleep more
I will...
Since we have an immutable blockchain, we talk about ownership and transparency - we might as well hold ourselves accountable. The Resolutions Community is for all those promises we make to ourselves, but rarely keep.
As with all communities, there are rules and since it is my community, the rules are fluid. Read them before posting and those who break the rules, might not even get a warning - they will just be muted. All of the rules are important, but the last one carries by far the greatest weighting.
I will not be a dick.
Ideally, people will do something like write a decent post in the Reflections Community that looks at what led to the current situation, and then come into the Resolutions Community and state what you are going to change and how you are going to change it. You can be as ambitious or as reserved as you choose to be, but hopefully you will discover ways to improve your outcomes in life by writing through the reflections and planning phases, then adding practical steps into how you will accomplish each milestone.
Being systematic helps.
While new year resolutions aren't for everyone, we nearly all have some goals in life we want to achieve. It doesn't matter if it is at the end of the year, start of the year, on your birthday, your half-birthday, your dog's birthday....
Plan. Try. Reflect. Adjust plan. Try again.
What have you got to lose?
