ANOTHER NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION FAILED
I think that I am addicted to setting myself up for failure. Every year I make a new year's resolution and then before the first month ends, I have been a failure. This year I resolved to cut back on my work from home and stop bringing the briefcase or the banker box of work. I was resolved to putting in my 8 to 10 hours at the office and then just stop. Half the time I can't regain my momentum anyways so what was the purpose except to have a brief effort at upper body weight building from picking up heavy boxes. I decided to keep my list short this year. I decided to make it easy to accomplish. . . .I decided to stick with it because let's face it, I am always on the verge of "burn out." To make sure that I was sticking to this plan, I even decided that Friday's will be my catch up day. . .no office appointments, no phone calls, etc. First week. . . I didn't make it. So now as I approach the end of the first month, I am looking at a swollen briefcase and another banker box with four cases to work on! I need some serious help. This is like an addiction of self abuse. . . . .not like I am enjoying myself here. . . this sucks.
I probably should join some support group to see why I even bother with making a resolution that I know I cannot stick with. I gave up on the weight loss one. . . .and committing myself to an exercise program no matter how modest. . . .actually, I should consider reverse psychology.
Like everyone else I should do the opposite. . . .set myself up for failure in another way. I should resolve to eat as much as I can and set a goal of 400 pounds. . . . resolve to sit on that sofa until I get a decub on my butt the size of a baseball, and see how long I can endure the office until I fall asleep at the calculator! Then I might be trim, fit and have all my work done in record time.
Well, too late for 2007 but maybe I will give this a try in 2008.
