’Tis the season of gym memberships, low-carb diets, and good intentions. Once a year, in the grand tradition of the New Year’s resolution, we resolve to eat healthier and brush up on our Spanish. Read more books and watch less TV. Be a little more patient and a lot more forgiving. We order yoga mats online and wait for serenity and better muscle tone to arrive at our doorsteps in 2–4 business days.
Maybe, like me, you’re able to stick with it for a month or so. But soon the kale smoothies of January give way to the milkshakes of February, and our good intentions become our failed ambitions. We stow our yoga mats beneath our beds, fall back to our old habits, and sigh, “Someday I’ll change.”
