There is so much pressure on us to define and start using New Year Resolutions at the official beginning of a new year.  

There is absolutely no need for this.  Resolutions to make good adjustments to the way we live our lives can be created and begun to be used any time of year.   Two huge advantages of this are:

(1) You can define and start new resolutions any month and day of the year and you can do it repeatedly.

(2) You don't have to wait for the end of the year for something you know you really want to start doing sooner. 

Certain times of year might be your preference for starting something new.  For me, its the end of February, beginning of March, that I feel the desire to start anew.  I think it relates to spring being on its way in nature and this gently coaxes me to do the same in my life.  For others, it can be the beginning of September and the start of a new school year. Literally, any time of year works for starting to make good adjustments or changes in your life. 

Our Essential Life Plan/Life Skills program  relies on this very important concept!
