Some of them, I’ve been able to pick back up and work at (I’ve actually been consistently exercising ~5x/week for 6 months now!), others I’m a bit hit-or-miss on depending on the season, and others have completely fallen by the wayside. I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve started a slew of new habits in Januarys-past: organization systems, Bible reading plans, diets and exercise, self-care routines, Bible journalling, paper planners, meal planning routines, etc…and ALL of them have failed. And not just a few hours, days, or even weeks of work…sustained commitment in the long term. Setting goals and dreaming dreams is easy, but follow-through requires a whole lot of work. Anyone else, or is that just me? It could be pandemic-related…or maybe it’s just as I’m getting older, I’m finally realizing that January doesn’t hold any kind of magical superpower ability to make yourself into a different person. Does anybody else feel like we’re still in the middle of 2020? Even though the calendar has changed not once, but TWICE since then, there just isn’t quite the freshness and excitement of a the new year that I typically feel in early January. Hello, 2022!! It’s officially the start of a new year…even if it doesn’t really feel like it.
