As we approach New Years Eve, a number of you will be making resolutions.

I’ve done the usual ones in the past; lose weight, work harder, make more money, eat less, drink less.

All admirable. All useless.

About 4 years ago I decided to make some different resolutions. I resolved to:

- swear more
- be louder

I nailed those that year. I think I’ve even kept them up pretty well.

What was great is that my silly resolutions really just were about being confident and more assertive and I could see the positive effects of them for that entire year.

If you make resolutions, try choosing some that are small changes you can make about yourself. Even seemingly silly ones (burp more? watch tv in your underwear?).

You might be surprised at how big of an impact they make in other parts of your life throughout the year.
