The whole thing with New Years resolutions is to give one a jumping off point to either: A) Get started on something that is primarily for personal benefit such as taking better care of one's health or finances or relationships, or B) Get involved in something that benefits the greater good such as volunteering to assist a charity or even just bringing a trash bag along on your daily constitutional in order to pick up litter as you stroll.
At least that's the way I see it - of course, I could be wrong, which would not be a surprise to anyone.
The point is, at least for myself, is the get started/get involved part. New Years Day provides a starting line, with the starting gun going off at midnight of December 31st.
Unless of course the New Year inexplicably brings with it a wicked head cold and you can't get yourself up to do much of anything. That happens, and it's a pain in the patookas.
But it's only a temporary delay.
