Hey its 2019 – Time for Resolutions

Hey its 2019 – Time for ResolutionsAnd most of us have heard of New Year Resolutions. Resolutions are decisions or promises, we make to ourselves. Its almost a custom that everyone on 1st January makes some new year promises or goals.

More often, these are the goals, which they did not fulfil in the previous year or some things, which they think should definitely happen or get completed in the New Year.

I was interacting with some children in the age of 8 and 13 years and here are their resolutions. I tried to categorise them in my own adult way

Realistic ambitions…”Go for it”

“I would want to learn to sing and taking lessons in singing, because I want to be in my school Chorus.”
 	“I want to start painting, I am bored with crayons.”
 	“This year I will score more than 90 in math.”
 	“My best friend reads a lot of books, I will read more books this year.”

Over Ambitions… “Please avoid”

“I will only study and not play.”
 	“I will not take a single leave from school, even if I fall sick.”
 	“I will not watch much TV or screens”

“Seriously, why aren’t you doing it anyway?”

“I will brush my teeth twice a day.”
 	“I will cut my nails every week.”
 	“I will not fight with my sister.”

Copied from Seniors…” We wish you achieve them”

“I would leave junk food this year, except Pizza and Pasta.”
 	“I would adopt a Green Lifestyle (Use less electricity, switch off lights and fans, walk more and not use transport.”
 	“I want to save half of my pocket money.”

Deep ones… “We really wish you 10/10”

“I will help my father quit smoking.”
 	“I am too shy, I don’t have any friends. This year I will make more friends.”

So dear friends, it was lovely chatting with some of you to understand your goals.

In our view, its good to have new goals and beginnings. The best way to really achieve such resolutions would be to write them down and make sure they are SMART.

Specific
 	Measurable
 	Action oriented
 	Realistic
 	Time Bound

We wish you better health, more happiness, beautiful dreams, lots of energy, lots of observing, listening and doing. Keep writing to us at hello@curioustimes.in

Happy 2019.
