I Failed My Resolution: Here's Why

Michael Blumenfield, MD, psychiatrist friend, suggested I may have asked too much of myself to commit to blogging everyday.  He was right.  He spoke from experience.  He blogs on psychiatry:  PsychiatryTalk.com; and, with his wife, Susan, on movies:  FilmRap.net. 

Blogging everyday is too often for a busy person.   So, I amending my resolutions to something more realistic:  I will blog once a week, but not limited to once a week.  I can blog more often when I have the time.

Today's blog is really about re-evaluating your demands of yourself.  We all set our sights too high at times and need to learn to adjust when we have been unrealistic.  Our temptation is to accuse ourselves of failing, like I did in my title today.  In reality, the failure was in the original demand we placed on ourselves.  If you ask too much, the failure is in the asking, not in the doing.
