My Musings: New Year

For most of the world, this time of year is the beginning of the new calendar year, so I thought I'd take this time to extend my best wishes out to everyone here.

Happy New Year!

I've really enjoyed myself here on Wattpad so far, especially the slow-but-sure process of revamping my profile and my works. I hope all of you are enjoying this too, no matter how long or short you're along for the ride.

I've never really bought into the whole "New Year's Resolution" thing, personally. The whole stigma is that it's doomed to fail after the first week or so, stopping just as quickly as it started on some unfounded whim. I think it's better to set a small, achievable daily goal for yourself. For me, I try to write a little bit every day, even if I have to take a story sentence by sentence. This way, I don't feel overwhelmed. This method could also be applied to common New Year's resolutions like diet and exercise--just start by changing one tiny thing each day. Before you know it, you'll have climbed a mountain! I'm not saying it'll be easy...I'm just saying that there are ways to find the crucial motivation that leads to productivity. It sometimes seems hard to think about or do all these things in our daily lives, and there are going to be days when you mess up, but when it comes down to it, all you can really do is try your best.

Now that I'm done with my spiel, I'd like to thank everyone again for your continued support. It means a lot to me, and I'm very glad that I get to keep going on this journey! I hope everyone reading this is happy, healthy, and safe in this new beginning. Keep being awesome!
