"The Most Depressing Day of the Year"

   My cousin told me that yesterday was the most depressing day of the year and when I baffled ask why, she told me that yesterday was the 3rd week of the new year and by now most people who had resolutions, goals, etc for the new year and didn't keep them, broke them or never even started them are beginning to acknowledge the fact that the failed yet again. As I heard all this I couldn't help but to feel dumbfounded and a bit mad.

   I mean yes I understand the disappointment that comes with being unable to stick by our words, I know exactly how it feels to see how that you which to achieve so much slips away like water through your fingers, just because you were unable to commit to something or to change your old patterns. I know exactly how it feels, trust me. 

   Even thought it feels (at least to me) as if new years was "ages ago", today is only the 17th day of 366 days (at least it was when I wrote this) that lies ahead of us. What do I mean?! We have the whole year ahead of us. Did you broke your new year's resolution already? So what? Big deal! get your stuff together  and try again; this time more determined and with the knowlegde and experience of knowing that defeat is not and option, you've been there and it wasn't a pretty place to be in.

   So dust it off and start again. No one said it will be easy, you knew it would not be easy (if so you would have conquered "this" ages ago). Even if it were august or september you're still not late. We must not forget that everyday is a new day, we get a fresh start, a clean slate every day!. Let's not forget that old patterns are hard to break is ok to struggle, but let's not dwell on the disappointments, on the let downs, if your goal was to walk 5 days a week and only made it to 3 rejoice is way more than what you did last year. Just make sure you are trying. A war is won by first winning the small battles. So let's make sure to keep our eyes on the goal it doesn't matter if we deviate a little as long as we keep on moving towards the goal, we'll be fine.
