National Ditch Your Resolution Day

How’s your resolution going so far?

(We get it)

It’s the start of the New Year, and we’ve all heard plenty about the New Year’s Resolutions and ways to better yourselves this year. Shoot, we hope you even threw a Vision Boarding Party with our handy event planning template, because we really do care about personal growth and going after the dreams that ignite that fire inside of you.

On the contrary, it’s Dry January (or is it Damp January… we’ve heard murmurings) and you just may already be sick of the commitment your friend talked you into. Maybe the gym isn’t quite living up to the hype you thought it would. Wherever you land regarding your resolutions—let us be clear—we applaud goals, setting habits, and growing into the you that you love most… sometimes the resolutions need to be ditched and you just need to get your party on.

Happy National Ditch Your Resolution Day. Here’s how to plan a party.
