Do you make resolutions when you enter a new year?

if so what are they?
I usually meet my goals each year mainly out of stubbornness lol but both my husband and I make individual goals and goals as a family.

His goals are:
Start interior body work on his project car
swap the transmission

Mine are:
save some money for something I have been wanting but have put off
start making it a point to take care of me too instead of putting my needs last

Family goals:
Start going to church again
Be outside more

I plan on quitting my job by April

I want to learn how to properly do deadlifts. I’m too scared, my friend hurt his back once. Yikes.

I want to go to my first concert- I feel like a late bloomer when it comes to that.

I want to try to go to a rave. That’s another thing I been scared of. If I do go- I’m going to sew my own outfit.

Speaking of- sewing! I want to sew! Contrary to my username, I do love clothes and fashion.

That’s about it and I want to go fishing like when I was a kid.
No. I stopped New Year’s Resolutions some years ago when they seemed almost like guaranteed failure. I set one or two goals of things I need to do that I work towards, and begin a plan. It feels like less pressure, and more likely to happen. I also don’t share them with anyone. 😉

@Maple You don't have a job outside of your house?
Maple · 22-25, F
@samueltyler2 no my job is to raise our kids and make a home. I applaud those who do work outside the home but for us this is how we both wanted it.

@Maple Everyone has to decide for themselves. Many families cannot make do with only one income these days.

I used to make them, but I don't anymore because I always fail 🙃

For example, I had one of your family goal too (Start going to church again) --> haven't acted upon it yet after three years...
Maple · 22-25, F
@dareme thats understandable.

I do not make them. There are things I want to do but it has nothing to do with what month or year it is.

So many people think they are going to lose weight, quit smoking, pay off all their bills, or whatever.
They use "after the new year" as an excuse to delay but it never happens anyways.

Of course companies use the new year as an excuse to raise prices, so there goes whatever financial goals someone has.

Those are good goals I don’t have any resolutions right now but I usually come up with things I want to do as I go
Maple · 22-25, F
@MommaBear small goals as you go is a good idea.

Normally no but I really do need to make some major decisions to improve my health and so I'm gonna drink booze and eat sugar over the holiday break and then devote myself to clean living after that. Which will include making my wife eat stuff she doesn't wanna eat lmao

Not usually, and never formally, although I did decide to focus in on myself this year and it did pay off, mentally and physically. I have no plans, thus far, to resolute this coming year.
Maple · 22-25, F
@faery That's what I need.. this year has been so hard on me mentally I need to start focusing on myself and actually putting in the work for myself.

@Maple A lot will try to distract you but you can do it 🤗
I believe I've stopped doing all the things that made me feel alive. I'm probably going to live a wee bit longer, though, so there's that...
yugimotodm · 26-30, M
I’d like to exercise more, find a new place to live, and be more confident
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
Nope, I don't do that. I can be anytime of the year for me.

I haven't lately.. i guess i should think about some
Yeah sometimes, I rarely stuck to them

since retiring at an early age, be careful how much i spend and not touch the principle

Who doesn't!

I may have a few small plans here-and-there, but the majority of the time, I just wing it.
Ferise1 · 46-50, M
No, I really don’t care. I think life is always the same.
HoeBag · 46-50, F
@Ferise1 Aside entities wanting to make new rules or charge more money for everything, life doesn't really change just because it is a new calendar.
