As the countdown to Christmas officially starts today, people all over will be opening the first door on their advent calendars, a tradition that's years old! Did you know that back in the day they didn't even have chocolate in...?!
Another age old tradition we are all familiar with at this time of year is New Years Resolutions.
"a promise that you make to yourself to start doing something good or stop doing something bad on the first day of a new year"
I know I am a little early, most people haven’t even thought about their ‘new year, new me’s' yet. Usually I am the same, I’m more focused on what I am doing (and will be wearing) NYE rather than my resolutions. In the past I have even had the attitude of ‘well it will be my New Years resolution to drink less so I should drink more between now and New Year’ or ‘it will be my New Years resolution to not eat chocolate so I might as well make the most of it now, while I can’.
This year, while I will have all of the usual (you know the ones, lose weight, tone up, eat healthier, drink more water) I have been thinking lately about how negative I can sometimes be and how I want that to change, then I thought….why should that wait until New Year?!
