It is approaching that time again, another year is nearly over and we prepare to begin anew. Along with this, many people are engaged in the ritual of New Year’s resolutions.

Should you be thinking about a resolution? Like all of the important questions, it depends.

The best time to change to a behavior that does not serve you is before it has an adverse impact. If it is too late for that, it would be best for you to make a change today. Why wait until the new year?

Maybe today is too soon, but January 1st sounds perfect. The end of one year and the start of a new one feels like a good time to transition to something better. This might be exactly the motivation you need to take a step in the right direction.

So, it comes down to this. You know you need to make a change. At some point, you need to take a step in that direction. Then, you need to keep taking steps until you are where you want to be. If you need to wait until January 1st to take you first step, so be it…but maybe it would be even better to start now.

It’s your life, are you going to wait until January 1st to make the most of it?
