Turn RESOLUTIONS into INTENTIONS!

What better time to start making resolutions if not at the beginning of a new year, right? Well, you could not be more wrong, because apparently New Year’s resolutions are our worse enemy, and are the ones that are dragging us down instead of giving us the well-needed push in the right direction.

A resolution is just a reminder that we’ve failed all the big plans that we enthusiastically make for ourselves at the beginning of a new year. And it is safe to say that resolutions are paving our way to failure. I want to travel more, lose weight, get more clients, start going to the gym, go jogging, spend more time with friends or family, read more books, these are just a few of the resolutions that are not lasting longer than a week into the new year, according to statistics.

Success should not be the goal, but the determination, the effort to start something, to make a change, to review one’s thoughts and habits!

As a professional escort you are exposed to a lot of stress factors: the covid situation that makes it so hard to do your job, the financial worries, the stress that you need to always step up your game and be in front of the competition, so that you can attract more clients, the safety measures you need to take so that you can be safe while being an escort and so on.

Why add to all these things that are already making your life so full and difficult, more problems? Resolutions are not entirely bad and are designed to help up grow and step out of our comfort zone, but what’s not ok with resolutions is that the effort is not taken into consideration if there’s no victory.

If you set as a resolution to start a new diet and lose a certain number of pounds, and during the entire process you find yourself cheating on the meal plan for example, or simply feeling exhausted and wanting to stop dieting, the entire process is considered a failure on your behalf.

Instead, you should reward yourself for the intention of having a healthier lifestyle, and for the effort you’ve done so far, even though from one reason or another you haven’t followed your plan till the end.

Progress is desired, more than success!

Salute your determination, be aware of the importance of every step you’re making on the path to reaching a goal, instead of finding rewards only in success.

Intentions are setting a new life direction for yourself!

A resolution is very direct, is something practical that you want to accomplish in a certain period of time while an intention is setting your direction in life, is an idea meant to make you move forward, evolve, be better and kinder with yourself.

So, instead of setting resolutions for yourself, that have an expiration date and that can make you fell like a failure if you don’t accomplish them, set instead an intention!

“I intend to be healthier this year” – and this may encompass a healthier diet, more exercise, or even making some visits to the doctor.

“I intend to stay in touch with the people that I like” – and that could mean talk on the phone more often, see each other on different occasions, go on trips together and so on.

“I intend to invest in my future” – and that could mean a number of things, from creating your own website, to investing in your regulars, to buying more ad space, or getting a place of your own for incalls.

An intention is not as strict as a resolution. It encompasses many things you may do to reach a certain goal, and it has no expiration date, so you won’t feel like a total looser if at the end of the year you won’t be able to say you’ve reached your goals set 12 months ago!

Be kinder to yourself because no one else will. Set realistic goals that can really help you evolve or improve your lifestyle and don’t make a big deal out of something that doesn’t go exactly according to your plan!
