Why Its OK to Break New Years Resolutions, Life Goals

Why It's OK to Break New Year’s Resolutions, Life Goals If you’re one of the 50% of Americans who made a New Year’s resolution this year, chances are you’ve already failed. It’s OK. So have I. In fact, I broke my resolution (to pack a lunch at home, rather than buy a turkey sandwich from the Time Inc. cafeteria everyday) on the very first work day of the year. I initially felt sort of bad about this less-than-auspicious start to 2017, especially considering all of my coworkers were well aware of my #money2017 resolution and gleefully pointed out that the sandwich I was eating was not, in fact, homemade. But I won’t yet deem myself a failure and 2017 a lost cause for personal growth. Here’s why you shouldn’t, either. If you think I’m just another lazy millennial eschewing responsibility, consider this from researchers at the University of Toronto: People are very quick to blame themselves for the deterioration of the diet. People often say to themselves, ‘well, I ran out of willpower, my effort declined, and that explains why my weight took the trajectory that it did.’ Our own belief is that that is not the case, that the reason that your weight loss slows down and stops is more a physiological matter than a matter of willpower. In other words, if you’ve already stopped going to the gym or making your morning coffee at home, it’s not a personal failing or a sign of weakness. And you’re certainly not alone. “People do tend to overestimate other people’s success and what’s possible,” the researchers wrote. A 2009 Harvard Business School working paper (“Goals Gone Wild”), which reviewed well-known research about goals set by managers in the workplace, posits that “the beneficial effects of goal setting have been overstated and that systematic harm caused by goal setting has been largely ignored.” (For a very recent example of the terrible ways goal setting can go astray at work, look at the Wells Fargo fraud fiasco.) Not everything about resolutions is bad, of course. They can help focus us, and giving up smoking, for example, for even a few weeks is a net positive. Studies have advocated for making hyper-specific goals, writing them down, and telling others about them as ways to more easily accomplish things. But as the HBS researchers wrote, “(w)ith goals, people narrow their focus. This intense focus can blind people to important issues that appear unrelated to their goal.” In other words, latching onto a single goal can come at the expense of larger, more comprehensive approach to work. Motivation can decrease as well, as people become narrowly, stubbornly focused on reaching some specific accomplishment. Dr. Karen Lawson, director of the Integrative Health Coaching program at the Center for Spirituality Healing at the University of Minnesota, told CBS News that often people fail because the goals they’re setting aren’t about things that are important to them, but rather to other people. “So the motivation doesn’t come from within but comes from the outside and that doesn’t tend to lead to success,” Lawson said. Considering I resolved to bring my lunch to work because my editor asked for volunteers and not because I had any real desire to do so, I stand by this explanation. Plus, there truly is no such thing as a fresh start. A new wall calendar or the first day of school will not magically transform us into different, more responsible people. Waiting for the arbitrary date of Jan. 1 to do something is just procrastinating. I’m still the same person I was on December 31; you likely are, too. Instead of confining yourself to a certain set of 365 days, focus on working on your goal whenever you can, whether that’s in January or the third week in July. There’s no wrong time to start making yourself a better, healthier person. And besides, I really like our cafeteria’s turkey sandwiches.

Office Fashion How To Stop Confusing Dressy Inappropriate - Work It Daily

Office Fashion How To Stop Confusing Dressy Inappropriate - Work It Daily Do you (or someone you know) have a hard time judging what's appropriate office fashion? You're not alone. Ashley Poulin of SharpHeels.com clears up the confusion as to what's dressy and what's inappropriate for the office. Fashion Challenge: Professionals who confuse “dressy” and “inappropriate.” Not thinking through the business-appropriate nature of what you are wearing (for example, thinking a dress you wore out to a club is acceptable to wear to an interview, or wearing a top that shows too much cleavage). Office Prohibited Knowing what’s appropriate for the office can be difficult and will take some time and investment to learn, but knowing what should never cross the threshold of your office lobby is imperative. SharpHeels Style Guideline Learn what is never appropriate at the office. Check out the quick tips below or watch the video! Cleavage tops â€" It is never appropriate to show too much cleavage at the office. Fortunately, adding a camisole and a blazer or black cardigan can make an “evening” blouse workplace appropriate, but don’t force an evening look for the day. If the top has too much cleavage or is see through, then keep it out of the office. Mini Skirts â€" The name says it all â€" “mini” is just too short for the office. Instead buy a pencil or an A-line skirt that hits just above the knee. Add a great pair of heels to add some sass, but keep those pumps under 4 inches in heel height. Platform Heels â€" also known as (a.k.a) - Hooker Shoes â€" Let’s be honest: 4-inches is as high as you should ever go at the office. Typically, most heels should be 3-4 inches, max. You can add some flair with color pumps â€" burgundy or cobalt blue pumps look great with an A-line black flare dress Too Clingy â€" Your office apparel should be flattering â€" form-fitting is fine, but too tight and you look like a stuffed sausage or a “woman of the night” â€" i.e. it’s definitely no longer appropriate or flattering. Instead wear a figure flattering A-line dress that you will look great in and still be appropriate for the office. Add some accessories to add some color and flare. Remember: Never, ever wear something too tight, too short, or show any cleavage tops.
