I don't believe in them.

I prefer not to set myself up for failure. When I make up my mind to do something, I do it. I don't need to come up with something just because it is a new year.

I make the same one every year: "Do it now." In other words, don't procrastinate. And I keep it too.

Only made one resolution that I kept. It was at least 3 years ago: stopped wasting my time going through the lunchtime specials.

I try since I like to have a positive outlook for the beginning of the year....this year I would like to continue to get more organized which means doing more decluttering in the basement.

I'm going to try to get more regular exercise too.

I resolve to be a better person than I was the year before. Some years I am better than others. One year I didn't make it through January 1 being a better person.

I resolve to:

1) Spend more time on my couch watching tv.

2) Limit all unnecessary movement...don't need to wear out my parts.

3) Eat more butter...butter n' sketty especially.

Haha, no really I just always say I want to try to be/do better...

I try to focus on a resolution that isn't immediately doomed to failure.

Rather than vowing to stop doing something, I try to concentrate on something positive that I can do. A kind word, a smile of support, of encouragement. An act of kindness. Just trying to be a better person, one step at a time!

I don't make them. If I feel that I need to change something in my life, I just make the change.

Same as last four years. No refined sugar desserts. No chocolate. Four years next March 2024 and have kept that resolution. And no, it is not easier now than four years ago.The holidays are tough.

When younger, I used to subscribe to the fantasy that I could make resolutions and some magic would evolve to help me keep them. Uh, I found out otherwise...lol. None now.

I stopped making them.

I stopped making resolutions back in my '20's. I just find something I need to improve in my life. Not like loosing weight, stop smoking or drinking kind of resolution/improvement but to have more patience or stop obsessing over a certain way of doing something. Such as this AS to be done today or I cannot go to sleep tonight.

I don't do them. Don't need the recrimination or guilt.
