The Psychology of New Years' Resolutions

   We've all made New Year's

resolutions year after year that fizzles out after a few weeks, sometimes after a few days, and for some after a few hours.

This year I have realized that the best of all  New Year resolutions is the New Years' resolution of no resolutions.

Many will resolve to quit

smoking, some will vow to quit drinking, while there are those who will swear to lose those unwanted pounds that have accumulated since Thanksgiving.

Some will want to go to church more often or be kinder to friends and family. Others will pray to stay away from opioids and others will pray to be healed from sexual perversions.

New Year's resolutions don't

work, just like prohibition never worked for those yearning for alcohol. If you tell someone they can't have it they usually want it more.

I believe in the case of resolutions it's similar to prohibition. It's like telling yourself you can't

have something, however, you want it even more. So if you vow to quit alcohol, drugs, or cigarettes you'll want them tenfold and never quit. You get the drift!

I was going to make

a resolution to quit those $1.50 hotdogs, refillable soft drinks, monster pizza slices, and humungous ice cream cups at my favorite Big box store cafe.

If I make that resolution it only means I can't keep it.

Therefore my resolution

is to quit those $1.50 hotdogs, refillable soft drinks, monster pizza slices, and humungous ice cream cups plus last but not least to go on a diet! (LOL)

So, what's your resolution that you'll never keep? Remember, no resolution is da bes kine!
