Dedication not to be mistaken with Resoloution.

I know something horrible is headed this way, its called the New Year! why is this so horrible? The whole New Year New You Resolution thing why do we feel like we need to reinvent ourselves at the start of the new year?
I read the latest post from a lady in my CL group, and It went almost hand in hand with some of the things I had been thinking, and she triggered my thoughts of the horrors of another year of resolutions to wonderment.
Her statement in CL " I've allowed myself too many rest days this month. 5 days left in this month and I need to kick it into HIGH gear! I'm hoping for at least a maintain this month... " Doesn't this sound fulfilled and hopeful? Hope is inside and out of Dedication it's not the same as an empty half attempted resolution
This sounds like it is something closer Something attainable something that can become growth something called dedication.
So I was thinking of a way to avoid the whole resolution thing by getting rid of it and maintain something else and make it more personal and worthwhile for me and for the ladies in the CL group.
I think that instead of Resolution we should make it a Revolution Viva La (enter your name)!
We can make a dedication to ourselves to do better Body mind and soul, we can make lifestyle changes, not just weight loss schemes, we seem to get fixated on weightloss if we calm the Body mind and souls the weight will get become lost or at least be easier to maintain, if it's dedicated it has more accountability to it, this is the moment I see in my eyes, what one calls the aha moment.
See My Lady friend did not bash herself in her statement and she owned it by saying she allowed her self too many days pf slack, to me that is a sign of self growth.
I am not sure but what I am hoping for is to pull myself and the ladies from my CL group out of the dull-drums of making a resolution and being bummed out in two weeks when we let go of it. We all do that and the biggest one is usually get in a gym...2-3 weeks later we are seen getting ourselves into a round of self abuse and neglects we will be beating ourselves up for not being perfect.
Yes there is a magical secret for happiness it's to finally love yourself. I can't tell you anything more because you have to learn to do that. You need to discover your inner soul happiness. We all do how can we reach this not through Resolutions but through dedication.
Resolution are not going to get us anywhere. See if we make a dedication and we let it slip we can rededicate to we never hear of re resolutions. Resolve is like willpower it is fleeting dedication comes from deeper down inside the mind soul and body, as where resolves are just cute little candy and sugar coated soon to be what if's when they grow up.
Dedications are more honorable, and easily to return to if you take a step off the path, because with dedication you are putting more effort to find the right path to lead you to your main goals. The path that looks like the way to your goal looks good now how much sweeter, will it look as a dedication to yourself?
If we find out hat our path needs some tweaking or another path needs to be taken to attain our goals it makes it so much easier to, re dedicate to the main goal with a new plan.
Why do I disapprove so much of resolutions? It's really easy to fail myself when I feel like I have this only new time this new year to make a new me.
Plain and simple we do not need to wait to make a New you for ourselves at the New Year's. We can start now and that takes dedication.
To me that is what I needed it's far more important to my wants
in life because it will get me to my goals faster.
