Now, everyone usually makes New Year’s Resolutions during the Holiday Season…and usually these fail even before the season is over. Maybe the timing isn’t right. Seriously, how can you be resolute in losing weight and getting fitter when your refrigerator is stuffed with leftovers from the holiday festivities? Maybe another reason why these resolutions do not work is because they’re so lengthy and convoluted. I used to list down a page’s worth of goals and resolutions for the new year, and then I found it hard to remember much of what I wrote, much less put them into practice.
Enter the One Word Movement.

For the next 12 months, you saturate yourself with that word, using it as a guide so that your life will be more purposeful and focused. Seems better than trying to memorize a page-full of do’s and don’ts, eh?
