New Year’s Resolutions

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone have any this year?

It’s not something I’ve given much thought to since December was a really challenging month for me. I want this year to be happier than the previous one. That’s a pretty low bar to be perfectly honest, but I guess that’ll make it achievable. I have a couple specific goals that might help with that - stuff involving my physical and mental health.

I know New Year’s Resolutions aren’t for everyone, but to me, January always feels like a fresh start.

If you don’t have a resolution, feel free to share something that you would like to see happen this year.

Gotta wonder , if people are scared to make any resolutions , due to the radical change in power with the United States
Nobody knows what to expect . Evn with rumours of a maga revolution..( probably not a physical one) .
And the entire media has been involved in creating anxiety in the population, Hard to be sure anyone could keep a
resolution .
But maybe NOT to do business with crooks, if I can at all help it.

To keep myself busy over the next 4 weeks so I don't dwell on the fact that December and all the warmth and joy that comes with it has come to an end.

Nothing new here.

Just another continuation of inner self hunting.



What I would like to see this year?

The same things I kept wishing to see and fully have my whole life; namely getting rid of the very damn fog that's been holding me back for good so I never need to ever mind myself involuntarily and just live a life I see fit.

Last whole year was a significant progress.
But the work isn't still done.

Gained Number Post Count (1).
Lose Time (n).

Lose more time here - Updates at least once a week.

If I can regain some mobility I would like to re-engage with society and contribute some of my skills.
If I can't get my old job back and help my country, I'd like to volunteer my services to help the Ukrainian people.

This year I want to finally finish and publish my horror novel

No, I don't think I'd benefit from them. If I notice something I should do that I'm not doing, it makes no difference to me what time of year it is, I'll either tackle it or I won't. It's not as if I can think of much anyway.

I always make resolutions, although I don't always talk about them.

I very much like the idea of taking stock at the end of a year, evaluating what went well and what didn't and thinking about where I'd like to be this time next year. And if course what is need to do to get there.

Last year I resolved to reduce my isolation, earn more money and be more sociable. I did pretty well at that, I got a second job which requires me to talk to people and have started volunteering as well.

What i didn't do so well at last year was reversing my decline into poor physical health. So that's going to be my focus this year.

By this time next year I'd like to be physically healthier than I am right now. Over the last couple of years I've gone from being reasonably fit, running regularly, eating decently, to being overweight, in constant pain up my arm into my shoulder and neck and eating pretty poorly. I'm resolving to reverse those things.

Last year I had this idea to take on a long solo walk, about 140 miles. I never got fit enough and it didn't happen so I'd like to do that this year. I'd like to do that in late May/early June so I'd have to start making changes right away.
