New Year's Resolutions. The mountain of pressure to commit to some meaningful change in your life just because January 1st rolls around…as if you weren’t busy enough already. Who came up with this lovely tradition anyway? We did some Googling, and it turns out you can blame the Romans.

The Romans changed the New Year from March to this new month that they named January after the God of Roadways, Janus. Turns out this Janus bloke had two faces. One faced back and the other forward. This became symbolic for looking back in review of the prior year and looking ahead to the New Year just beginning. Thanks to the Romans it’s time to dig deep inside and come up with promises about amazing things we will do in the New Year to become better people.

Lovely!

The good news is that many of us don’t have to dig deep to come up with our list of resolutions.

We just dust off last year’s list and voila – we are done! Easy, right?

Not really. There is a whole ton of baggage that comes from rehashing the same resolutions year after year. What is supposed to be an enthusiastic look forward is often tainted by a feeling of failure.

Consider the #1 resolution in America: to lose weight.

How many times have you made that resolution?

The five pounds you needed to lose in 2020 became 15lbs. in 2022, and 25lbs. in 2024, and now the number seems so surreal you feel defeated before you started. Sound familiar? We can relate.

Guess what? There is hope! Come talk to our weight loss team at i spa Health Studio in Largo.
