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

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!

Though, of course, that is your freedom.

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. @-@

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

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).
