RE: NEW YEAR, NEW RESOLUTIONS. DO THEY WORK?

in #life6 years ago

I don't think I've ever made a New Years resolution. I haven't needed to. I'm a very disciplined person so whatever I resolve to do on any day of the year I tend to stick to.
Perhaps there are people who need New Year as an excuse to set goals for themselves but I've never met one who actually managed to stick to one. I've been attending the gym continuously in several different countries since I was about 17 and every year come January there's a huge influx of new members most of whom last about 6 weeks. Seems human nature is the same the world over.

Hi @deirdyweirdy

Thx for your comment

It seem to me that you're very self-awared. That's a great advantage.

Wow. That's impressive. What sort of workout do you stick to? I'm crazy about muay thai and western boxing (Im actually coaching boxing as a passion).

Cheers,

I did try kickboxing and then karate many moons ago but it just wasn't for me. I train 5-6 days a week with a mixture of high-Intensity circuits and weight training using kettlebells, dumbbells, and TRX. I just love exercise!

Wow. That's fantastic. Do you mind sharing with me from which part of Holland are you @deirdyweirdy?

I'm actually Irish, living in Dublin at the moment but lived in Amsterdam for almost 15 years.

I loved Dublin. Used to live there in 2005 for some time :)

Are you still based in Amsterdam? I was actually thinking about visiting it sometime this year :)

Let's keep in touch and hopefully we can meet each other one day.

Yours

No, I'm in Dublin for the last 4 years. My father got sick and I had to leave Amsterdam and come home. I love Dublin too but it's changed so much in the last few years with the huge influx of foreigners that I hardly recognise it anymore.
