The Problem With New Year Resolutions

I know a guy who loves going to the Stevenson Ranch LA Fitness gym. He tries to go every day, and he’s been going for years. He tells me that around this time every year, hordes of strange new faces show up at his gym. They crowd the place. They hog the machines. They are a general nuisance to the regulars.

He says he and his gym buddies call these new people “resolutioners”—as in, their sudden devotion to fitness is only the result of a New Year’s resolution to get in shape.

However, after about eight weeks, these resolutioners usually begin to disappear. Forgetfulness, busyness, and laziness take over. By spring, the gym belongs to the regulars again.

What a Resolution Really Means

The point of this story is that most people who make resolutions on January 1st don’t truly grasp the concept. The word “resolution” comes from the word resolve. When you make a resolution, you are testing your own resolve—your ability to follow through.

A resolution shouldn’t be something that quietly fades away under life’s other responsibilities and distractions. It’s a promise to yourself. That’s why it’s called a resolution: “I resolve to get it done this year.”

Why Flooring Is a Resolution Worth Keeping

I get that it can be hard. If it were easy to get ripped at the gym, you would have done it already. If it were easy to learn a new language, you would have done it already. And if it were easy to redo your floors, you probably would have done that already too.

The good news? We can make that part easy.
