Day Six hundred and Seventy Four

It’s around this time of year, people begin to look at themselves and realise that they want to make a change. Perhaps they don’t care for their job or their relationships, or perhaps they want to fit into that swimsuit for summer. Whatever it is, people vow to themselves that they will make a change. Statistics show that the vast majority of these vows are broken…but why? Why is it that even the strong willed can’t seem to make even the smallest of changes? Where is t going wrong?
Firstly, where is it exactly that you begin to make a change? The action is just as important as the thought. Perhaps it is here that the majority of resolutions fall through: too much focus on the outcome and not enough thought paid to the journey. However, thought can complicate things. Overthinking can lead to submission and loss of self belief; two other key factors in making change. If you have no self belief how can you believe enough to make that change? In turn this leads to submission: admitting defeat.
I can’t honestly claim to know exactly what this post was trying to resemble. Overthinking complicated my train of thought and I’ve very much lost the point…
