I recently read a post on New Year’s Resolutions from momSCHOOL. Yes, yes, we all do them but do we stick to them? Do you stay on track throughout the year? I love this perspective on making changes – they do work best one step at a time.
So, apply that to New Year’s Resolutions… make the resolution into a habit that you practice daily. Just like exercising these new habits will be hard to form at first, but once you’ve practiced it every day… it’ll be easy – no sweat right? Also, when we want to form a good habit we begin with small easy steps. A single behavior at a time is what we can handle successfully. Yet, most people set New Year’s Resolutions that are huge leaps of faith, and essentially set themselves up for disaster from the beginning. Take small steps, and work on small behaviors until they become good habits.
Happy Homeschooling! What are your resolutions this year? Let me know!
