New Year's Resolutions
Why do we make New Year's Resolutions? We make them every year and a couple of weeks into the new year, we're inevitably disappointed because we didn't stick to them. In fact apparently only 8% of people stick to their resolutions - mainly because we set goals that are either unobtainable or could be achieved, but when we don't see results straight away, we quit. So why do we make them in the first place?
The following is from: www.wonderopolis.org
The tradition of New Year's resolutions dates all the way back to 153 B.C. January is named after Janus, a mythical god of early Rome.
Janus had two faces — one looking forward, one looking backward. This allowed him to look back on the past and forward toward the future.
On December 31, the Romans imagined Janus looking backward into the old year and forward into the new year. This became a symbolic time for Romans to make resolutions for the new year and forgive enemies for troubles in the past.
The Romans also believed Janus could forgive them for their wrongdoings in the previous year. The Romans would give gifts and make promises, believing Janus would see this and bless them in the year ahead.
And thus the New Year's resolution was born!

Looking backwards over the year that was is a great way to evaluate and reflect on your life and your business and then choose some things that you want to improve on.
In the celebrancy world, goals might look like this:
In the celebrancy world, goals might look like this:
* I want to perfect the way I meet and greet my clients
* I'm going to work on making my ceremonies feel more natural

These sorts of goals can run side by side with your goal to:

* spend more time with you family/friends
The 1st of January signifies a new beginning, but each new day is also a new beginning and therefore you can reset your goals day by day.
Maybe your goal this year is to join a fabulous celebrant association.....
