Resolution: Stop Dieting for the Health of it!Written by Michael Dimas
"Now is accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath.Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever." -- Mark Twain Hello Everyone! This is part of my annual anti-resolution newsletter. Hope you enjoy it and are already having a great new year. New year's type resolutions have never worked because they are usually associated with something person doesn't want [as opposed to what they do want] anyway, or with something that is wrong/missing in their life. Focusing on what you don't want or what is missing also has tendency to produce more of that in your life. The word resolution itself means to re-solve...again...again...again. Not a good word to describe permanent change. "New Year's" makes it sound as if change is not possible at other times only one day per year. How's that for a limiting belief? Being overweight, for example, is a focus on what you don't want. Diets and deprivation that go with them as well as exercise we'd rather not do...eeks...more of what we don't want!
