Rather than the typical New Year’s Resolutions at a micro level that often are quickly discarded,Dr. Braccio suggests making major macro changes that can positively alter the course of one’s life. Macro changes would include tolerance,healthy love of self,intentionality of behaviors,geographical changes,employment changes,spiritual growth,better treatment of others,learning how to better love,learn how to be a better friend,and other positive changes that can enhance you as a human being. The goal is for each person to sincerely attempt to examine self to find possible macro changes and act on them. Dr. Braccio relates how yearly retreats in high school at Grand Rapids Catholic Central were helpful to him. In a quiet environment,except for talks by priests,we were to examine ourselves and see how we could improve spiritually and personally. Even though you may add a spiritual component,my focus here is more of a secular outlook.
