What's Your New Year's Resolution?

Yes. I create goals for the year every January as it is my birthday month.
We are going paleo for the new year. I have not set a timeline on how long. I will see how my mind and body feels.

I'm a January baby too :D
my resolution(s): fix criminal record, get a job as an emt, become independent, quit cigs (not too important to me)

I was going to say resolutions are for losers but this guy turned me around.

Lol! :p

But yeah, I don't usually make resolutions. I plan to go completely vegan sometime in the next few months, but that's not a "new year" thing, it's just something I've been working towards. I'm also getting a gym membership for two months (January and February) for really cheap - there's a deal going on - so I guess that is part of my goals as well. But it's just a generalized one, not a new years resolution.
 
Resolutions never work out for me. So for 2013 I'm aiming for a New Years Revolution.


Who's coming with me, man?

Same as last year - stay rad. It's all about balance really: having fun + living well = staying rad. =D
 
I don't have a resolution per se, although I have recently given up cigarettes in favor of an e-cig, started eating healthier and started working out again.

I'm taking a different approach this year, and instead of picking an explicit goal, picking a word to apply to my life daily, wherever applicable.

So my word for 2013 is thrive. :)
 
Continue staying as calm as cucumber.

I believe my makeup effort today was important.

Keep....doing my makeup. And existing outside of a cloud like entity composed of many looser particles i feel i may dissolve into.

Actually sticking with exercise (haha) and working on my mental health.

These are the tickets.

I suppose my resolution should be to wake with the sun. Sunlight is in far too short supply this time of year to be squandering it on sleep. Whether it's the vitamin D deficiency, the screwy circadian rhythms I get without all that blue and green light, the cold fingers and toes, the lack of natural opportunities for exercise, or the general "social hibernation"... Old Man Winter gets to me without my even noticing, somehow.

In principle I love the snowscape, I love the night, I love how the chill in the air makes you feel so alive in the morning. I love how the cold makes every home, every coffeeshop, and every restaurant feel so innately cozy and welcoming. I love wintersports, and I especially love the ramakwanzchristmakkah season (commercialism and religious nonsense aside, there is still something real and wonderful about Christmas Cheer)... I even love the seasonal music for a brief while, before the repetition makes me lustfully desire to stab somebody.

And yet... I always still notice it all at once--the feeling that every day has ended before it even began, the acute moments of loneliness and social isolation, the claustrophobia in my own living space, the realization that I've been blowing people off, and disengaging from relationships... it all comes into my head at once, and with it the realization that I'd been feeling that way for weeks or months.

Usually not until some time a little while after Christmas and New Years, though... so until then, zealously overflowing emotional outburts of sheer unadulterated joyous feelings ramakwanzchristmakkahs everyone! Be safe!

edit: oof, that phrase replacement made me think I'd screwed up somehow for a second.
