New Years Resolutions
It's getting close to that time!!
I was wondering what people are thinking of doing this year? What do you even think of new years resolutions. I think that New years resolutions should be more a goal on how to better yourself through the next year. Over the "you have to go to the gym daily" that I feel the media is pushing all resolutions to be. (and "diet. DIET NOW" ) I'm thinking my resolutions may be something like... lose 10 pounds Get my daughter to speak and pedal a trike. Both of which she struggles with. Be more patient with my husband and his anger bursts about everything. Tell my feelings instead of bottling it in. not get pregnant. |
I like that way of thinking too. I like to make goals involving art and other personal goals. :)
|
I totally agree. Like, my goals are more things that will improve my life, without putting pressure on me. For example, I want to exercise more and study more, which won't be that hard and won't make me feel like a failure if I don't go to the gym once.
|
I haven't made any previous resolutions that I've stuck to, but I think that these ones would benefit me.
- concentrate harder on my studies - work on my novel - be patient with mum - teach my brother Arabic - fast Mondays and Thursdays - structure my life - sleep less |
to keep my resolution will I ever make it |

Mondays and Thursdays. Well, you see... okay. I'm Muslim and in my religion we have a thing called sunnat. Meaning: something that is sunnat is something that Muhammad (P.B.U.H) did in his lifetime. So, he used to fast on a Monday and Thursday, so doing that is sunnat. It's not compulsory, but it's a good thing to do. Apart from the religious stuff, I see fasting as a kind of detox. It gives your system one whole day to clean itself out before you fill it up again. So, I'll be detoxing twice a week!

What is new year resolution?
It is against my spontaneous style~ *twirls* |

:/ I am not on board of the resolution of 'SLEEP LESS'! :<
Though, of course, that is your freedom. |
Haha, I really think it would be good for me and next year it seems like a real possibility [:D]
|
How many hours is that 'less'?
|
Gosh, it's rare i do manage to keep a resolution for long, but here goes.
-Get a job and keep it! (i start jan 10th so this ones pretty guarantee'd yay!) -Start saving up so i can do things! And get a damn passport! -Go to an overseas festival (tomorrowland maybe?) -Finally go on a backpacking holiday to Europe! (or at least Italy like is planned) -Get fit, smoke less, drink less (usual healthy stuff that never quite happens xD) -Start driving lessons -Look for a scuba diving course -VOLUNTEER - BAZILLION OTHER BUCKET LIST ITEMS... |
You smoke and drink? O__O
I am surprised. |
*puts the cigarette out*
No...not at all! D= dammit, busted xD |
Does it really help? :(
|
Oh gosh. I have a fair number. Though I'm more of a goals person so maybe they're not resolutions per se? What's the difference? I'm not really sure.
I only have a few that are for the year like read 50 books or 15,000 pages, a monthly money saving goal, journaling every day (at least three gratitude statements), regular poetry or song writing, and sort out all my boxes and donate a bunch. The others I do quarterly. So these are for January first to March thirty first. - Get 90+% in my math course - Read Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - Get into doing dishes daily (I'm a terrible neglectful person) - Take that home business weekend course - Knit or crochet for at least 2 hours each week - Start meal planning (at least make the plan in February and use it in March) - Study German for at least 10 minutes a day - Use Khan acadamy for at least 10 minutes a day - Make and use a proper filing system - For at least February have a spotless kitchen - For at least March have a spotless bedroom And I'm still thinking of more. Maybe I shouldn't. Haha. @[email protected] |
Oh yes! I got it.
My New Year resolution is: to make new year resolution. 8D |
I think you did it Xuvrette! It's self fulfilling! [lol]
|
New year resolutions or resolutions in general don't sit well with me maybe because my life is filled with colorful chaos hehehe so i just try my best to become a good person while reminding myself that i am a human being and i will make mistakes so i will have to forgive myself before i demand it from others [:)]

Oh lol. XD I was hoping people would comment that being a 'vicious cycle'. XD

My resolution.... I have debated this so much. I am already on a diet so I thought about making it doing better with my diet but that wouldn't work probably. My resolution is as follows ~Actually start exercising along with my diet. ~Improve my art and stick to doing art when I promise someone an order. (I can be very lazy) ~Clean the pit that is my closet. ~Stop being so shy and be more outgoing. ~Stop letting people walk over me because I am too nice. ~Get a Debit card/bank account. (This will be done after the 4th since that is my bday). |
Is it that difficult to get a bank account?

ahh, this is a cute thread !
