Resolutions: Is a New You Necessary This New Year?

It’s nearly time to start counting down to 2011, and there’s no getting away from headlines declaring that in the new year, you can find a new you. Some of us make resolve to get more organized or go to the gym more often, but are we really striving to reinvent ourselves? We hope not. Starting with a fresh calendar and (hopefully) refreshed mindset makes January a great time for resolutions, but we also think the end of the year is a good time to take stock of what we like – and don’t want to change – about ourselves.

Making small changes to improve your health and well-being is never a bad thing, but we hope you’re not promising to become a new person in 2011. Chances are you’ll fail, and we’d also bet you don’t need to set your targets so high. While every website announces the best things they’ve published this year, and newspapers all take superfluous stock of the happenings in 2010, why shouldn’t we do a little positive assessment, too?
