The Case Against New Year's Resolutions
On finding momentum and making gains. Plus, a show, book and podcast about transformation.
When I was in the hospital, I found myself using the word “momentum” a lot. In my final week, the morale around me shifted, threatening to regress my progress. And so I discharged myself out of fear, fear of losing my momentum.
The next day I checked my horoscope. One word stood out above the rest—momentum. I took it as a sign that I made the right choice—discharging myself from the hospital enabled me to maintain my positive momentum; prevented my momentum from swinging in the other direction.
