Forget Resolutions – Reset Anytime You Want

Happy New Year!

Are your resolutions alive and kicking, or have they already fizzled out in the January breeze?

Over the years, I’ve transitioned from making resolutions to setting intentions – kinder, less rigid, and less likely to end in frustration. This year, I’ve taken it one step further, using this moment as a temporal landmark for a strategic reset instead of a pressure cooker of self-imposed expectations.

Whether you’re starting the year strong or already tempted to abandon ship, here’s the good news: you can create a new version of yourself whenever you want.

New You, Anytime You Choose

Let’s talk about temporal landmarks – moments that allow us to mentally reset and start fresh.

These can be social landmarks like:

• The New Year

• Birthdays

• The start of the school year

Or they can be personal landmarks, such as:

• The day you moved to a new city

• The moment you met your partner

   

Here’s the key: you don’t have to wait for society’s timelines. You can create these moments of reinvention whenever you decide.

Natural Temporal Landmarks

Beyond the ones we create, the universe offers its own rhythm of resets including:

• The transits of the planets

• The monthly cycle of the moon

• The daily rising and setting of the sun

   

Each of these offers us an opportunity to reflect, renew, and realign with the natural flow of energy.

A Calendar That Makes More Sense

When you align with natural cycles like the 28-day moon cycle, you might realize that a 13-month calendar fits the universe’s rhythm better than the traditional one we follow. Perhaps the real "New Year" feels more aligned with the energy of spring’s renewal than the depths of winter?

But here’s the point: it’s not about the calendar – it’s about you. Take the pressure off. Reinvent yourself whenever it feels right. If your resolutions didn’t make it past day one, that’s fine. If you’re still going strong, keep at it. But know this: every day is a chance for a fresh start.

“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.” – Buddha
