Happy new year everyone! We may plan today, but not necessarily comply for the next 365 days, I'd love for everyone to share their resolutions and intentions for 2016. Go.....

I think I just start out every day not so much with a "resolution" but just this is a new day-hello day!

and I do wear pajamas all day whenever I feel like it. My grandcat doesn't mind.

No one I know every stuck to and kept any resolutions they said they were making beyond a couple of weeks so it's just ridiculous to actually make any. None for me!

I used to make all kinds of resolutions -- eat better, go on a diet, exercise all the time, don't shop so much, etc., etc., etc. Then, I'd get so upset with myself and feel so bad, as one by one, I failed at each and every one! I just can't put myself through that any more! Too much stress.....

The only thing I have on my mind right now is that I want to try and be better at not letting everything and everyone get me upset. I am a very highstrung person & it's not a good way to live. I also want to try (key word -- "try") and quit letting myself be a doormat so much. It's not okay to say and do hurtful things to people and then when you don't say anything to defend yourself, they think it's okay to keep treating you that way.

So, these are things I have in my head right now! Wish me luck!!!

I'm going to get back to exercising. I need to lose seven pounds and build up my muscles again. I've started taking 45-minute walks down by the ocean at least every other day. I have basically a home gym in the form of treadmill, Total Gym, and HSN's mini trampoline, so I have plenty of opportunity to exercise. I love to walk and feel so good when I'm on the return leg of my walk in the sun. I also want to cut down on carbs because I eat a lot of bread and pasta.

I think not being a doormat is the most important one. While I didn't state it, this is one I would love to overcome. I also let everyone's problems become my own and I am trying to recognize where I can help as opposed to taking it over for them, if that made sense. I am a bit too sensitive. Good luck!!!!!!

I resolved many years ago to not make NY Resolutions. Like others above have said, I just resolve every morning to do (or not do) various things throughout the day. I can do one whole day - those days add up to weeks and months with a day off now and then for good behavior.

Happy 2016!

My beauty resolution for the year is to make myself a green smoothie every day. I purchased a Vitamix blender to make it even easier for myself to follow through. I've been making myself a green smoothie every day for the past couple of weeks. I've read that the Vit. K in greens helps to banish dark circles and since topical Vit. K hasn't helped, might as well try to treat them from the inside. It'll be a fun experiment plus I'll consume another portion of fruit and veggies every day, always a good thing.

Increasing my health (which will mean losing weight along the way!), increasing my water intake, drastically decreasing purchases, decreasing clutter in my life (physical and mental), focusing on the positive (with myself and others), increasing meditation & prayer, using my stash. Happy New Year, all!

@aprilskies

You, too! Yes, this is very hard, especially when you've been this way your whole life. You speak up a little and people look at you as if you've grown another head or something. Other people can say whatever they want whenever they want and people just don't bat an eye or say -- oh, that's just how they are. Well, I am really tired of holding it all in and then getting treated as if my feelings don't matter or that what I say is not valid. So -- I am going to try and give it a shot.

My beauty resolution is to take better care of my hands and nails. They are not horrible but I do get a lot of hangnails and dry cuticles. I keep my nails short and wash my hands often so it is a challenge. I put some baby oil in a small bottle on my bathroom counter. Every time I wash my hands I am applying oil and then hand lotion. They already are looking better. Like most things consistency is the key to see improvement. I also want to get back to exercising and building up my strength but my asthma has been so bad lately I haven't been able to do that yet.

I usually don't make NY Resolutions because I know I'll mess up and break them. I would like to be more faithful in eating less, but better, excercising more, and taking my daily first thing in the morning concoction of lemon juice, local honey, and warm water.
