I was thinking, when is the right time for making resolutions, though I didn't get the right time for making resolutions but I definitely got the wrong time for resolutions. New year Eve, Your Birthday and any special day in your life shouldn't be day when you should be making resolution. And to top it, your worst day, depressing day also are not the right time to make the resolution. You will get to know why (in totally unusual and incongruous way).
If I check the resolution list on internet, I find myriads of resolutions for the people who are living a public life through blogs, twitter, social networking site etc (Not to mention, I have lot of free time after office to do these things) And most common of the resolutions are one or more among the list mentioned below:-
To give up the habit of drinking / smoking / overeating / procrastination / laziness / latest one is virtual world involvement(too much time spent on internet or computer).
Last item joined the list of of negative habit since 3-4 years only, else it was a positive quality earlier and was in Geek's lexicon only to show supremacy over others. Seems life is getting tougher with each passing year. Good quality are becoming bad and bad are becoming worst. World was much better earlier with less knowledge and less addicting things invented around us.
Anyways, coming to topic - Giving up such habit would be the most depressing thing one would be doing on eventful days (on either of good or ugly day). Depressing because you were habituated to one or more things and you actually enjoyed doing that. And who in the world said that stop doing things which you enjoy doing most (Obviously those things only, which will not make life bad or difficult for others and impacting no one but you.)
No wonder we have more number of people who are not able to keep the resolutions compared to miserable number of those who actually keep it for long time. Because once the threshold is reached you are back to your age old habits. :-)
But I suppose people make resolution on eventful day just to remember since when did they gave up on enjoyment and to feel proud for keeping the resolution for X number of days before giving up on resolution. ;-)
