New Year resolutions put an unnecessary amount of pressure to start something new. It’s when many of us commit to a new exercise regime, career goals, or eating plan. Often the ambitions require such a tornado of change that they crumble.

Now that we are almost two weeks into the new year, chances are any resolutions you’ve set for yourself have already fallen over. Perhaps you feel guilty about this? Guilt is, at best, a wasted emotion and an entanglement of vines anchoring you to the past at worst.

Change is inevitable, but it doesn’t need a set date like January 1. There is no better time than right now to embrace impermanence. Moreso than ever, the world demands that people adapt to the constantly fluctuating tides of life.
