January write-off

I always think that making resolutions in the New Year is a futile task, January is the worst month to make changes in your life...it's dark, depressing out and basically one big hangover from Christmas

IMO it's much easier to stick to resolutions in the Spring time... whenever you believe that begins - Feb 1st or the clocks going forward - either way it's a more optimistic time of year to make life changes

So should we have Spring resolutions instead of New Year's?

Etymologically, the term resolution looks similar to the work revolution which imputes a drastic change (of heart).

Revolutions are almost invariably unsuccessful because too much change is desired too rapidly. Similarly, annual resolutions.

I prefer an incremental Darwinian evolutionary approach where change takes place over a long period of time, almost imperceptibly slowly, and is more likely to bear fruit, in the long term.

An annual change (of heart) is too drastic, biannual change is slightly better, but a biennial plan of action is likely to be the most enduring, potentially perenially.

In my personal opinion!

Ideally yes, but there may be more hot summer bodies if people left it till Spring before trying to achieve them...?

Oh yes what a great way of explaining it and it's definitely very true.

Biennial resolutions is an interesting idea alright - but do you agree they should start in Spring instead of January?

Evolutionarily, at any time (throughout any year) when one acquires new or additional knowledge, epistemologically, that enables one to make a more informed choice about one's transient existence!

I'll cut the shite food out on Tuesday again. And I always try to keep a basic level of exercise up for the mind as much as the body.

Writing off January because it's a dark depressing month seems self fulfilling to me

Don't feel guilty! Give yourself a month off from all that and wait till February...trust me, you'll be in better frame of mind to make life changes...so you'll be more likely to succeed in your goals
