Welcome to 2025 everybody! It is a new year where (nearly) anything is possible and we can all make deliberate choices about the year we want to have. I suspect that comforting thought is one of the motivating reasons behind New Year’s resolutions. I’ll be honest though - I think New Year’s resolutions are a little stupid. I love the sentiment behind them: the idea that we have true agency over our lives and the sense of renewal that life changes can bring. But given that a recent survey showed that only 1% of people had their resolution last for the entire year and the fact that those same changes can happen whenever you want rather than being tied to an arbitrary period, makes them somewhat tiresome to me.
