What's the best New Year's resolution for 2025?
With only 10 days before the end of 2024, many are beginning to think about resolutions for 2025. Invariably, in recent decades, most New Year's resolutions primarily fall in one of two categories: health and wealth. That is good. However, if you think about it, the top resolution every year should be improving safety.
Typical examples of health related resolutions include losing weight, eating better, meditating, and reducing social media use. Examples on the financial side include saving more, getting another job, earning more, and investing. All that is good and well. However, improving safety practices can be significantly more important and impactful to your health and wealth than all those typical resolutions combined.
Safey First
Most of us want better health and more money. That's because we associated those with the possibility of living for longer and living better. At the end of every year we look forward to having better health and financial outcomes in the next year. That makes perfect sense. What we often overlook is the oversized impact that a safety mishap can have in health and wealth, and our ability to live long and well.
In a split of a second, any one of us can can a safety mishap or "accident" that can jeopardize our health and wealth. n most cases, accidents could have been avoided with better safety practices. Forensic reviews of most accidents reveal that either the accidents or some of their consequences could have been avoided or mitigated with better safety precautions and practices. Even in the cases of natural disasters and other "acts of God", safety precautions such as adequate emergence preparedness could have improved outcomes.
Cultivating safety as a habit can be more impactful to your health and wealth than all healthy living and money-making habits combined. In theory, a person can smoke, eat junk food, be a couch potato, etc, for decades. However, even the healthiest and wealthiest can lose everything in a second due to a safety mishap. An accident can kill, incapacitate, or ruin anyone in a heartbeat. Sounds heart-breaking but it's true.
Think about it. If you are smart, you get the point. Improving safety, including emergency preparedness, should be your #1 New Year's resolution for 2025. Safety, or lack thereof, can have an oversized impact on everything else in your life, including the health and wealth that you care so deeply about.
