New Years Resolution? What is yours? Do you stick to it?

My new years resolution is to slow down the daily bullshit and enjoy life more. I want to learn to appreciate all the little things more and not take it for granted.

 

^My new years resolutions is pretty much the same.just want to slow down with work.because I'm getting way too involved.and forgetting my own life.

 

I have a few... Quit smoking, quit nailbiting, stop eating seafood and gelatine, go back to university, save money, eat proper meals, and be kinder.

Last week I found out that I'm going to be an aunty, and that my aunty has cancer again and that this time it's not looking good.... I just really really want to quit smoking now.

 

I resolve not to die

 

Sorry to hear about your auntie... I wish both of you best wishes and good luck quiting.

 

i don't do resolutions. if at some point during the year i think of something i want to change, i see no point in waiting until january 1st to change it.

 

My resolution is always just to be a nicer person, but I never seem to stick to it.

 

I want to start my dreads this year, my hair is starting to lock on its own in places and its getting quite long. So thats something im shooting for...

I would love to meet a girl with long dark curly hair and brown skin who hates country music and enjoys some of the interests that i have...ima gonna have to work hard to find this.......

February is my special month because its my anniversary for being sober so that will be fun, 1 full year of no alcohol!!! fuck yea!!!! As long as i dont die between now and then ill be good. Even if i do die at least ill be sober and not fucked up! : )

 

Good luck broony, and congrats on 1 year sober.

 

I had the goal of scoring over 50% in the semifinals of the Brazilian chess championship, and I did just that.

Another great thing that happened this year, but it was not a resolution is that now I am a property owner and I`ve got some security in my job. I got promoted, have received positive feedback, etc.

This year, I want to get back in business, and file for Portuguese/EU citizenship. As for chess, I`d like to get to 2200 performance rating in most tournaments.

 

Congratulations! It`s been since June 2010 for me. So, over a year and a half without a drop of alcohol and loving it. 2 years and a half without a cigarette (May 2009). Why did you decide to quit?

 

I was getting drunk two to three times a day, my skin looked "bloated" i drove drunk almost everyday (their were two times Im REALLY lucky i didnt get myself killed), i was spending probably $10 a day on it (which costs a lot to me) i wasnt sleeping... i was passing out. I would get angry really fast over something that didnt matter. I was in a complete daze for 2 1/2 years.

I was strait up addicted....my skin felt greasy all the time from my pores always trying to push out the toxins..i was tired of going to parties and being paranoid the cops were going to show. I had a really close call one night when i was arrested for marijuana possesions and i had been drinking but i walked a strait line when the cop told me to get out of the car and i avoided a DUI. I would tell people what their problem was when i was drinking tequila or (TA KILL YA)...

wine, beer, hard-A cheap or expensive it didnt matter because the goal was to get drunk! As bad as it sounds i becamse really good at driving drunk or buzzed... =/

I was getting up at 1am to go to work and didnt have much money for food so i bought more alcholo and went to work drunk during the graveyard shift....i drank for every reason when i felt sad, happy, angry whatever. I was a drunk! lol

yea..i have more reasons but i dont want to write a book.

I quit cigs in december of 08 and havent touched one since. Two demons down many more to fight.

Edit. I had been drinking for many years as the casual drinker but at one point i just lost it and fell into the 2 1/2 year spell. Its hard to say what triggered it though...

 

To quit smoking.

 

Mine last year was to quit smoking. I still smoke.

I want to stop making charts and lists for everything. I spends hours of my time charting out what I need to be doing instead of doing it. How to do this, in what order to do these, what to do today and this week and this month and this year....

after all, life is what happens when you are busy making plans or some similar shit


Plus it might make me seem a bit less obsessive-compulsive and more productive.

I am not one for making resolutions for the new year. I honestly think that is too much pressure to make a change that really matters.

I would tend to instead pick a date and quietly do it. The new year instead I try to greet by letting go things or patterns that I do not wish to have any longer and embrace the clean slate to start again and walk where that takes me.

To be honest with all, most people who I know who have made a great big announcement about their new years resolution have never seemed to be able to keep it or accomplish it.

 

-go on a juice fast for at least 2 weeks
-lose that last 5lbs
-skip rope for at least 20 mins 3 times per week
-make a hula hoop and learn more tricks
-practice fire spinning and make my own fire poi
-finish yoga teacher certification
-perfect standing back bend drop back (I can only do it on Cid for some reason)

It's going to be a busy year!

 

I don't do "resolutions" because I always let myself down...if I want to change something, I usually do it slowly and when I'm ready.

Starting January 1st, though, I'm taking 1 picture a day...I want to create a photo-journal of my life so I remember the funny/cute/nice things I see on a daily basis.

 

I like that idea... a picture a day. Maybe a picture of something to be thankful for each day. Could you make the year without a repeat? It could make you appreciate life more realizing all the things we have.
