As New York divorce recovery coach Leah Marie Mazur shows with her viral f-k it list, sometimes quitting behaviors or putting a moratorium on tendencies is more critical than jumpstarting a gym plan. Mazur proclaims, "I am only saying yes to things that will get me closer to where I want to be and who I want to be moving forward." This perspective suggests prioritizing self-improvement means sometimes saying no to certain behaviors that hinder personal growth.
New Year's resolutions have their roots in ancient Mesopotamia when some 4,000 years ago Babylonians began celebrating the new year with vows to the gods to repay their debts. If they honored their commitments they would be favored by these deities in the year to come. This historical context underscores the long-standing tradition of reflecting on the past year and seeking betterment in the year ahead, despite the modern struggle of resolutions.
