Restitution first, Resolution second

I think I know why people can’t keep new year resolutions. It has to do with regret about the past and self-recrimination and flagellation about what was not done in the past. So, before you make resolutions, make restitutions. Make a small sacrifice mentally to the remorse gods and forgive yourself for last year and maybe the years before. They are gone. Spend 10 minutes on this in meditation or even while doing the laundry. Just give yourself some mental forgiveness and move on to planning and enjoying 2012. Happy New Year!
