Next Year All Our Chocolates Will Be Far Away
Just before I left the office on Christmas Eve I was sent the trail for our New Year, New You campaign. Several Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Radio Scotland presenters are featured in it and each one of them seems to be warning that these festive days of gluttony and lethargy must soon come to an end. Next year, they say, we're all going to make a change for the better.
"It's kinda scary," I told our trails producer Ken Lindsay, but not in the way that would breach the strict Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú compliance rules. It was scary in a guilt-inducing, finger-wagging, time's-running-out-on-us kind of way. Nevertheless I signed it off and approved it for transmission. It's what I do...unless there's violence, bad language or nudity involved. I always frown on nudity.
- which starts properly the week after next - is all about finding the motivation to achieve personal goals. For many, myself included, that will be about getting fit or losing weight (yet again) but it's much more than that. Some people want to start a new career or improve their relationships with family members, others want to conquer a fear or sit down and finally write that best-selling novel.
On air we'll be hearing from experts - life coaches, psychologists - and from people who have actually made a change and want to share their own experiences.
But, as I say, that's all coming next year. Next decade in fact. No need to be scared just yet. So go back to the chocolates, finish off the Christmas sherry and have another long lie in bed if you can.
Next year, everything will be different.
