New Year's resolution (noun) : a commitment to a project or lifestyle change that one makes that generally is interpreted as advantageous; it is effective on New Year's Day and is forgotten by Valentine's Day

Happy new year and good luck to all who are determined to make and adhere to those resolutions!
I know, I know. We all will be drinking less alcohol and more water, eating better, exercising more, organizing our photos, keeping in touch with friends, etc., etc. Amazing how similar everyone's resolutions are (and how they really don't change much each year). But even more amazing is how much advice writers at Psychology Today and other psychology related blogs and zines give out on resolutions. Some of my favourites:
-Get angry and get those resolutions accomplished!
-Love yourself and accept what you can get done!
-Make positive not negative resolutions!
All that and they still agree that many resolutions are forgotten in a few weeks.
What’s an analysand to do?
Why, examine why one makes a resolution one can’t keep, of course! Keep your therapist employed this new year and give him/her a shot at this.
