What is your New Year Resolution?

What is my New Years Resolution? Well most people think of the material things or the things tha they could do that they havent been doing throughout the current year thats almost over. I think that New Years Resolutions should be the solution to something that should be better than it has ever been before. Not just things like losing weight or quitting smoking. So for the year 2010 I decided to start a new trend. I want my new year to really make a difference so therefore I have taken deep consideration into what my resolutions are. For the New Year I want to be a better mother than I was this past year, I am going to become more active in the church and helping different foundations, I am going to dedicated a certain amount of time to my passions and stop letting other people disturb my dreams, Im going to be nicer to the average Joe on the street, I am going to start a foundation for young children in my neighborhood and last but not least, I am going to graduate from college this year! These things I know aren't impossible and this is what I look forward to in the New Year!

I've already have a resolution for 2010. Matter of fact, make that two of them: 1. Save up to $2500 of my SSI money this year for moving trucks, deposit and rent so that I can move out of my superstitious mom's house at last and get my own one on or by October. Mom wouldn't help me leave the nest, so i'm on my own here. I gotta get my own place to live so that I wouldn't be chained down to one place all the time. 2. Stock up on any survival supplies as much as I can since something bad might happen soon. Self defense items, my own groceries, more rechargeable batteries, battery-powered lights, door locks, etc. I'm gonna be living on my own soon, and I still need protection so that my soon-to-come freedom won't be short-lived.

I believe that you can set a resolution at any time of the year. However, for some reason it seems more important to do so at the beginning of a new year. Almost symbolizing a new beginning. I used to try making resolutions when I was younger, but stopped for years because I found that it was quite hard, and I never seemed to be able to follow through on them. This year I do have one resolution - that is to lose weight. I have joined SparkPeople, started exercising, and watching my diet the past week and a half. I decided to start early, that way it would be easier for me to keep my resolution when the new year rolls around. I have quite a bit of weight to lose [nearly 100 pounds!] but I honestly believe this year will be the one. I won't give up or quit this time. I've found support and will work my way slowly to where I want to be. Not everyone falls short of their resolutions. Some people have a harder time than others, but in the end if you want something badly enough, it will happen when you decide to work for it. Happy New Year!

Hi tunexzy, In my school days, I used to take resolutions like I wont tell lie, I will get up early and study,.. some kiddish resolutions.. I will follow that for hardly 2 or 3 months..then back to normal. So I decided one year not to take any resolutions for that year is the resolution. After that I m not taking anything. Its all your mindset, if you really want to take any resolutions you can take at any time.
