What will your New Year's Resolution(s) be?

Asked by harple (10455points) December 27th, 2010

Maybe a little early, but with Sat 25th behind us, my mind is turning towards the new year…

I’ll admit I haven’t thought of mine yet…

So, what – if any – will your new year’s resolution(s) be?
How many will you make?
And of course, the all important question, how long will they last?

I’m going to try to learn what my “authentic self” is and be it as much as possible. I also want to maximize the pleasure I get from my real life relationships.

Most of mine are pretty generic… exercise more, procrastinate less. And wear more lingerie.

Austinlad's avatar

Still formulating my resolutions, but among them I intend to buy new shoes and better-fitting underwear.

My resolution is to gain a steady income again ASAP.
The rest of the things I could say are just fluff in comparison.

To steadfastly refuse to make any. Dey dumb!

My resolution is to start sending my work out to magazines. I’ve spent far too long hoarding stories and poems for fear of receiving rejection letters—that’s a major creativity killer. This year, I’m going to stop saying “I want to be a writer” and just be a writer.

I’ll just make paper airplanes out of the rejection letters :)

Exercise regularly, lose weight, keep working on caring less about what people think, get a job, get in school, move out of family housing and back into my life as my own again.

I am really eager to close the book on this decade. Worst. Decade. EVAR.

asmonet's avatar

I don’t do resolutions. They lead to disappointment.
Why put a date on trying to be better, just start fixing things in your life as you notice them. You’ll get a shitload more accomplished.

cockswain's avatar

I figure any significant changes in my life should always be implemented immediately. I hate the concept of New Year’s Resolutions. Humbug.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Anybody for a couple of New Year’s Revolutions? I can be really revolting!

janbb's avatar

@JilltheTooth Turn and turn about.

Coloma's avatar

Yes, I don’t really make resolutions, but I do give thought to what my goals are.

So IF I was to make a resolution it would probably just be a continuation of my usual goal.

To make as much money as I can working as little as I can. lol

harple's avatar

So I’ve finally come up with the best one I can think of… Thank you all for you fab answers!

My New Year’s Resolution is to not let “old tapes” impact on my present/future.

Austinlad's avatar

Amen, @Harple. That one goes almost to the top of my list.

janbb's avatar

bob_'s avatar

Dude, I only got old CDs, no tapes D:

Believe in the dreams you’ve always wanted to come true.If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given and utilize the abilities you have, you will constantly fill your life with special moments and unforgettable times.No one know’s the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning but for those who are willing to believe in their dreams and in themselves,life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.

I read the above today and that will do for me.
