New Year Resolution

[wildmaven]

Have you made any resolutions, big or small, for this year? Here are mine:

Lose the weight I put on during the pandemic because I haven’t been active. 
Find a job. It’s been so hard having lost mine due to the pandemic.
Clean my craft room.
Declutter my closet.
Find a new place where I can live the rest of my life happily and safely.
Spend more time enjoying life with my hubby.

It’s been several years since I made any new year resolutions. They always failed. Reason being that( like most resolutions)they tended  to require time, determination and patience. In other words, they’re akin to marathons and I tended to treat them like sprints.


But, we’re different people. So, I sincerely wish you the very best, staring with your job search.💜

Yeah it's best just to go with the flow, I never got the entire new year resolution thing. If you honestly want to make a difference in your life do it at that exact moment it shouldn't really take an entire new year just to put your mindset towards it. Improvement only improves when you fully put your mentality towards it.

Putting it into a Resolution IS putting your mindset towards it. These aren't "this is going to take a year" things. They're "I want to accomplish this in 2022" things. Like, I seriously hope it's not going to take an entire year to clean my craft room.

I make resolutions every few years. Usually they are ambitious, but still achievable. I didn't make any this year, but I'm trying a number of new things, so I am curious to see where they take me. I'm hoping they are successful.

I will probably try to do things like NANOWRIMO again. Ideally, I would finish the book I worked on in November 2021 before I get there. So that might be my main goal.

I'd love to travel somewhere new, so we will see.

Good luck, Marian!

I'll help with the craft room.  I'm a GREAT supervisor!  *gets Diet Coke and sits in chair*

Yeah but you can do anything at any given time it's just up to you when you actually decide to go forward with it.

My new New Year goal is not to let others rain on my parade.

Well don't see how that's raining on a parade just simple advice. It all starts with you.

I haven't made formal resolutions in many years, at least not out loud. In January, I like to consider a few goals for the year and make a tentative plan to complete them.

This year, I want to make significant progress on my degree. I didn't do much last year. It's hard, though, with working full-time and feeling tired/sleepy almost constantly. So I have only two classes this semester, starting on Monday and Tuesday.

I would also like to finish at least one novel or similarly-sized book. There are a few sitting on my shelves, waiting.

I don't make any resolutions because I never stick with them. I decided to set goals for myself instead. 

-I decided I wanted to do more stuff for myself. (Self care and such since I tend to do stuff for others and put myself last all the time)
-Do more crafts and work more in my art journals
-Read more 
-sleep less (I sleep too much I guess.)
-(this one is hard because I am addicted) but I am trying to spend less time on the internet.

Weight loss and keep it off. I let a promotion and added job assignment be the excuse I gained weight back.
Joined Redcon1's contest, we'll see how it goes.

Remember to journal each day; it's so good for my mental health.

Keep better track of my spending, I did not do so well in 2021.

Start putting myself first sometimes. I'm a people pleaser by default, and that's exhausting at times.

Journaling was horrible for my mental health but many find it helpful as long as it doesn’t allow you to dwell in the darkness.

It took me a loooooooong time to find a journal that helps me, and agree. Free hand journalling wrecked me. The ones I have are focused on building, forming good habits and routine, and self care, rather than dwelling. They have a break down of prompts that have daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly. For the daily ones, it's broken down for morning and night. Morning prompts are planning the day, setting goals, affirmation. Nightly prompts are reflective of the day; what went well, what could have been better, what changes would make it better. Weekly focuses mostly on planning out the next week and what did and did not work the previous week, how to help what didn't work. I love this one that I have because the prompts are different every single day. Each journal I used before was basically just 365 pages of the exact same thing and that got boring and I would forget to write after a week or so. Stuck with this one so far for the last 10 months, and will absolutely be ordering another.
