The New Year’s Resolution is a bizarre concept really. As soon as it hits 1st January each year, vast numbers of us take it upon ourselves to give up something we enjoy doing. It’s almost as if we... more

    5 Stars Willpower 03/01/2012

    Advantages Advantages Works for me

    Disadvantages Disadvantages -

    Resolutions A resolution is an interesting concept. Challenge yourself to develop the willpower to maintain a commitment. Until a few years ago I may have whimsically put forward two or three aspects in my life that I would like to change - attempted to stick at it for a couple of days and then leave it until the next new year arrived in order to try again. Basically I took it with a pinch of salt and lacked motivation or willpower. Something changed and now resolutions that are made anytime are maintained successfully... Changes I discovered Kundalini Yoga when my health was challenged by ... more

    3 Stars My resolutions for 2012 08/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's something to aim for

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I won't be happy if I don't manage it!

    I don’t normally write Ciao Café reviews, but I thought I would make a change this time in the hope that publicising my resolutions will help me to stick to them! I always make some sort of New Year resolution. I find that having a goal to work towards really helps me and makes me feel as though I have achieved something. Not for me the usual losing weight/quit smoking/do more exercise resolution (I’ve never smoked anyway, I exercise regularly, and losing weight is an ongoing battle which I cannot seem to win) – I have something a bit different in mind! ***Visit every London Underground ... more

    4 Stars 2012 . . . THE YEAR I TRY TO HELP MYSELF . . . 04/01/2012

    Advantages Advantages on the way to a healthier happier me - I hope!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages it's definitely not going to be easy . . .

    I don't often participate in ciao cafe reviews these days but this one caught my eye as I had just written a blog about it yesterday. Normally, I don't make resolutions but this year I decided I NEEDED to. Except, to try and make it less like a resolution and, therefore, hopefully easier to stick to, I'm calling it a "goal". I've been quite worried about my health over this past year as i was getting lots of random pains in my side and the two doctors I visited (which shows I must have been worried because I NEVER go to the doctors!) couldn't find anything wrong with me - one of them even ... more

    5 Stars Energy saving resolution 14/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages save energy, save climate, a good new year resolution to make

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    The earth completed one more revolution around the sun and so did we. It is very hard to comprehend and accept the significance of the moment as we leave one year behind and step into a new year. Similarly, nothing special happened as I entered 2012 watching the live television broadcast of the firework concert at the Edinburgh Castle on the 31st night. When I woke up in the first morning of 2012, nothing had changed dramatically but still I was happy, happy to greet my friends, family, relatives and loved ones; happy to welcome new season; happy to see new horizons; happy to learn something ... more

    5 Stars Can I do it? - Yes I can ... well maybe. 06/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to set resolutions.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not so easy to keep them!

    New Year Resolutions 2012Well, this is my first foray into the Ciao Café for over three years, so that is one resolution completed already! I always find making resolutions difficult because they are so hard to keep. I try to find something challenging rather than go for easy options … like not eating sprouts.Anyway, I have thought of a few for this year that I will try to keep. In my opinion it is no use setting a lot; it just makes the task less achievable.1. Weight . An obvious choice, I know, is to try and lose weight. Last year I manage to lose about 2lb – a success, but hardly world ... more
