So, January’s over and 2019 is in full swing. How’s it been for you so far? Well, if you fell
Figures from the Ministry of Everything Socially Significant suggest a third of resolutions fail before the end of January. Feeling bad? Don’t. We are here to help.
According to Professor Anna Lyze, a Human Behaviour expert at MESS, “Most NYRs fail for two main reasons. Firstly, it is the New Year und secondly, it is a resolution. Ze timing is all wrong and you haff chosen something you don’t want to do”. (PS – We’re not sure why she talks like that as she’s from Luton?!)
We agree. You’ve just spent the Christmas Holidays acclimatising your body to excess food and drink and lounging around in your PJs, eating popcorn watching reruns of films you’ve seen before and now you’re going to force it into
Why give up chocolate when Easter is just around the corner and the shops are filled with egg or bunny shaped versions of every chocolate variety known to mankind?
The same goes for alcohol. Dry January? Why bother? It can only lead to an internal conflict of your liver’s health vs supporting the Save St Albans Pubs campaign (only one winner there!). As if that’s not enough, you’ve got a houseful of leftover Christmas booze that needs consuming before it goes out of date.
Besides, what kind of person waits all year to make a choice about something anyway? What were you doing for the other 364 days?!
That’s not to say you shouldn’t aim to change little things here and there. At AL3 Towers, for example, we committed to stop wasting.
Wasting leftover Christmas booze?
Simple! Eggnog and bacon is an obvious choice for breakfast.
Wasting away? Eat chocolate!
Wasting time worrying about the future? Easy, don’t mention the “B word” until at least March the 29th.
This is an easy one anybody can do, especially when there are so many other words beginning with B.
Border, Backstop, Brussels, Balls-up, Boris, Buffoon, Breakfast, Bacon, Bols (mmm eggnog) and, of course, BLOG!
Wasting time generally? Stop reading this!
We’ll be back soon. Stay strong.
