How To Fail Your New Years Resolution

Happy New Years, Pixies! While Lynzie makes her way back from New Orleans, recovering from her New Years partying and the Game That Shall Not Be Named, I thought I'd stop in and actually write an article.

New Years Resolutions. To be perfectly frank, I don't know a single person who has ever totally kept their NYR. Oh, I know lots of people who lost ten pounds, and got organized, and got into grad school. They succeeded, all right- but not without failing first.

That's the trick- knowing how to fail. One piece of cake may mean you've fallen off the wagon, but it doesn't mean you'll never lose the weight, and it certainly doesn't mean you're a bad person.

Perfectionism is too often an excuse for not even trying. Love your resolution. Take risks for it. Fail, and fight, and succeed for it. If you screw up, who cares? You're still awesome. You're still worth it. You deserve to get what you want.

Go get 'em, Pixies!
