Everyone makes resolutions or sets goals on New Year's Eve and at the beginning of the New Year.
In particular, I don't set long-term goals, I am aware that they are difficult to achieve. Short-term goals are easy.
So New Year's resolutions or New Year's resolution refers to January of the New Year.
Of course, I have achieved many over the years.
Graduating, getting good jobs, a better quality of life, buying a car, and a home, finding the love of my life (that one has been difficult) and above all being at peace with myself.
Every day is a time to accomplish a goal. Every day is the time to be successful and you must be filled with love to export it to others.
Merry Christmas!
Yes I do make new year resolutions, here is just the one I made for this year.
This year, I made a resolution to cultivate daily moments of mindfulness. We live in a world full of challenges and obstacles with activities. I aim to create a moment of peace each day, allowing myself to be fully present in the moment irrespective of what is happening at the time, be It's good or bad. I tried to always see the Positive side of every moment and carve out my peace from there.
In the midst of my pains and worries, I'll seek to find peace and inner joy acknowledging each thought and emotion while trying to pass a judgment. I intend to activate a deeper intimacy with myself and the world around me, live out my day with gratitude and inner peace.
Each day, I will take out time to reflect on what God has done for me, and appreciate him for his wonderful deeds in my life and family. In this moment of gratitude I will find stillness and inner peace in its simplicity.
This resolution made my life better and I have been living peacefully
I don't make new year resolutions any more. I don't think I have in years. I don't really find the calendar new year to be very significant any more. Perhaps I am just old and grumpy. π
In previous years I have made a list of New Year's resolutions.
On a few occasions I accomplished at least part of the resolutions on the list, but generally I was a little 'over-optimistic' of my abilities and had set goals that were unrealistic.
Come to think of it, I haven't made any resolution lists in recent years. That frees me from the problem of compliance, but it also tells me that I have somewhat lost the spirit of setting challenges for each year that begins.
So I think I should make a new list for this end of the year. Something that moves me to try to be better and maintain the idea of moving forward in the future.

I usually do New Year resolutions and stick to them. I also make a wish when the clock strikes midnight on the last day of the year and sometimes those come true...
For 2024 my main resolution is to work on my relationship to make it stronger in a New Year. I also make a resolution to continue working out for my health. And finally my third resolution is to achieve 500,000 staked SPS :)
Yes, I make new year's resolutions every year. For example, in 2022, I decided that I would make my first trip abroad and it happened. I went to Congo, but unfortunately I could not realize my plans for 2023. In February 2023, there was a major earthquake in 10 cities in Turkey. I had travel plans before the earthquake, but I could not go anywhere after that disaster. I had planned to go to Europe, but I could not realize that plan because my Shengen visa was not accepted.
I have good plans for 2024. I realized the first of these plans. I opened my online store. I plan to go abroad with the income I will earn from there. My second dream is to share content on Ecency every day and earn regular income. I actually started to produce content in a disciplined way for my second plan. I would like to thank the #Ecency team for this opportunity.π
Wow that is a good π one, making resolution make some see beyond just spending the year but it would make you see the reason why you are living.
Yeah thank youπ
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
Thank you so much π
You are welcome π€π€ !AFIT
That plan to create an online store would be wonderful for me.
Good for you.
Merry Christmas!
Thank youππ»You can search #Etsy platform for online selling.
Thank you very much!
Making A New Year's Resolution is a good habit and I started it a long time ago. Although I find it hard to always complete it because I set higher goals for myself and whether I smash everything or not, I don't hate or beat myself up because of it.
The new year resolution helps me to stay focused and I love that a lot but it's not enough reason to be sad when I can complete everything on my list.
There is always another year to make those things happen so if I can't complete my resolution this year, I move what's left to the next year and continue from there.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
It very difficult to stick too but I never complete mine
LoL π same thing always happen to me as well, I don't always complete the resolution because I might have set a higher resolution that I wouldn't be able to complete at the end of the year.
I think the solution would be to make goals for each month of the new year. they will not be long-term and therefore will be easier to achieve.
that's how I do it and it's worked out great for me.
Merry Christmas!
I always make new year resolution and for this year, I couldn't complete it due to some reasons. Life happens and as long as I am alive, I still have the privilege to do whatever I am want.
Life happens truly and we can always try again. What matters is that we have invest time and effort, we can try again since it's not the end of the world.

Yes, I make resolutions but don't complete them. I get so pumped on January 1st, making my nice little list of big changes and goals. Finally gonna do all those positive things β wake up early, eat healthy, be more chill. The usual stuff we all promise ourselves.
But uh... by end of month that list already tossed in trash. Sleeping in wins over my 6 AM runs. Fast food too tempting after long workdays. And calm? Please, with my crazy job! Same old habits come February even when I swear THIS year will be different.
I realized something - itβs okay! Life happens whether we meet resolutions or not. Instead of harsh judgments, we should give ourselves props for even trying to grow in first place. We can only do our best today then try again next time goals slip.
So I wonβt stop making some optimistic resolutions when New Year comes. But Iβll try being easier on myself too when plans sometimes crash.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
Lol π I was once like that, but since I became a mother I always complete my resolution because they are mostly for my children.
Yeah, I can relate...There are things we just have to do to make our kids happy.
My weakness has always been patience, I don't have much patience to explain something, give an instruction, and give it again because the person doesn't understand or explain something obvious and do it again, I don't like that, but one of my resolutions this year It is being patient with people, taking the time to listen to them, understand them and put myself in their shoes and understand their circumstances, that has helped me to be patient with all of them, and that makes me happy because I have been patient with my parents, which is what more important to me.
I do not often make new year resolutions because when I do, I want to make sure that I follow it trough all the way and not to be like some kind of promise that I break. On this year, I set myself to take more consideration of my physical health which is done by doing exercise and going to gym.
I started my going to the gym mid- January of 2023 and so far we are on the end of the year and I was able to complete this goal which I even wrote a post in relation with my gym activities and not only that, just recently, I also bought a dumbbell set in order to do some lifting even when I'm at home and I soon plans to add more equipment after I'm able to renovate my room to add more space for the equipment which will be my upcoming new years resolution by the year 2024.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
How cool that you have already taken action and moved forward to achieve your goals! make a post of how that room will look like, it will be a goal achieved in 2024 well motivating!
Yeah, it will be a good topic for a post. I was thinking it to be done before the rainy season start cause it will be difficult to go to gym during that time.
By then it's too late! make your post!
Yes. I made a resolution to read the Bible daily. I also listened to Father Mikeβs Bible in a year podcast- also on YouTube. I did it and I still do it. A great habit and an excellent resolution. !ALIVE !PIZZA

Most especially at the end of December I make new year resolution but atimes I forgot about the resolution but when we are about to make another one I remember them again. That means I never complete it.
Yeah, the best time to set the resolution is December so that you would be able to set it right.
Hahaha, I feel the same way!π
Merry Christmas. I hope you have reached your goals and don't miss the opportunity to be together!π
I have actually made a few new year resolutions for myself, not sure I have been able to keep all of it
I recall my days in Pegasus Primary School now Pegasus Schools, it was customary to list out our new year resolutions at the start of a new year which usually fell in the second term of the school year under creative writing.
My teachers would make us read our new year resolutions before the entire class, so that we do not fall out on our resolutions. In Primary 3 we were asked to print it out and it was pasted on a cardboard and placed at the back of the classroom. I was known for my loud talk which earned me a spot on the list of noise makers almost every time.
Every year, the first item on my resolution was to stop making noise in class, playing and causing problems in the class. For a week or two, I would be so behaved until my true self could not longer be hidden. Since being an adult I have not penned down any resolution anymore but I hope to soonest
I rarely make New Year's resolutions because I know I'm not going to keep them haha!
β Exercise
β Drink more water
β Eat healthy food
β Study personal and academic improvement courses
β Go out to visit friends
β Travel
Last year I put unheard-of and unusual things on my list and kept it in my room, on December 31 I will look for it to cross off what I did or did not accomplish, and I think I will laugh a lot.π€£
Not so much resolutions but goals for sure.
The new year always brings in some fresh motivation about all the possibilities that can happen during the next 365 days.
I agree with you, the New Year comes with fresh energy to achieve lots of goals.

I rarely make resolutions for every New Year. Usually, I just want a prosperous life and good health for myself, my family, and my friends. For me, every change of year, I prefer to give them good wishes and pray for each other. π€β€οΈπ
I agree with you, passing on good wishes and good energy will lead us to receive gifts from the universe.
Merry Christmas!
That's right, all that can change into good spirits and good energy. What we need now is the spirit of harmony and mutual peace. If the whole world could do the same thing, how beautiful the world would be.

I have always tried to make one but then it becomes difficult doing so especially when you decide to put an end to something but eventually find yourself doing it again.
Yeah since it is a new year I always make resolution for it, so that the year wouldn't be a wasted one but then I don't always complete them because sometimes I do forget while some times something might come up that wouldn't allow me to complete the resolution.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
I believe everyone do set resolution for themselves to make the year a meaningful one, so yeah I do set a resolution for my set and that is what keeps me going, because the more I run after the resolution the more the more I discover some things. And I always get everything done because they are very simple tasks that I set.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
New year resolution is a motivation in believing in oneself on the things you feel you can achieve which keeps me going. I always have a goal I set every year for myself so having that new year resolution is a stepping stone that helps me works towards that goal.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
I don't think if any person is there who doesn't do so. Every one wants to improve as the time passes, this is why the world is improving. People make new resolutions every year, that is why we advanced from living in jungles to living in cities. As far as i am concerned with it, i do set some goals for the new year and it depends that what i want.
Like when i was in matric class, i set a goal to achieve a good academic record in the coming year plus i will also improve my English vocabulary. For now i have a goal of getting a good body through joining a gym.
Yes! I have completed many of them. Like when i set the goal of achieving a good academic record, i did that. As far as my current goal is concerned, i have already joined the gym and started weighing heavy weights to get good muscles.
Don't set any new goals if you have not achieved the previous one yet. If you set a goal then do work for it, never lose your courage and try hard for it. If you fail once, doesn't matters, try again. You will succeed one day because hard work always brings fruit
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
Of course i have
My new year resolution for next year is i can making passive income from hive up to 20$/ month and another 20$/ month from stocks. So i can multiply it in the next year. And so far my resolution for this year almost accomplished that i need to reduce my weight 2 kg again, so far i can lose weight almost 20kg. I am hoping that my financial resolution can be accomplished fast.
I like your goals. I think I will copy them.
Merry Christmas!

New year resolution have always been my thing from childhood until the crossover night of this year. I realise have not actually fulfil just 2 out of every of my new year resolution and the more funny thing is I keep having different resolutions every year and it makes me look like a failure everything I sit and thing about it.
So this year I didn't make any not that I gave up in my dreams or goals but one thing I noticed was probably I wasn't taking it serious and I always don't remember what they are because I don't write it down so instead of me making a new years resolutions I just made a list of things I want to archive in life and I started working on that Ι radually and glory be to God I'm archiving it little by little
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
To you too
I always set a new year resolution for myself every year and that is to become better in what I do and also if obstacles shows I should intend not to give up which has been the goal I set every year.
That's easy to answer.
Yes
and
No.

When I was in my high school days, we opted to make New Yearβs Resolution in our English Class. Whether I like it or not, I have to write and do it heartily. I have fulfilled my resolution though. But at present, I cannot remember if I am making one since what matters to me is to stay positive in life and be the best that I can be every single day despite my failures.
I agree with you, staying positive every day is the best thing to do. The universe moves in our favor when we are exporters of goods.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT
I guess you won't need a new year resolution because everyday you are setting yourself a goal to be the bests you can be.
New Year's resolutions are always made. But every resolution made was not successful. Some succeeded and some failed. But every New Year, at least one resolution is made. Since the New Year, we have decided to make families as happy as possible. I will try to complete it. Thank you all.
Merry Christmas in advance πππ. !AFIT

making new year's resolutions is not my thing personally speaking. I try not to focus on goals that could be unattainable, so I do my best, I try to live day to day and set monthly goals depending on how the activities evolve.
New Year's resolutions are an exciting opportunity to enhance our lives and gain our dreams!
It is an appropriate time to set new intentions and commit to our personal boom.
By placing resolutions, we task ourselves and inspire ourselves to acquire splendid things.
We can set dreams in extraordinary areas of our life, including fitness, wellbeing, relationships, career or adventure.
Whether it's starting a brand new workout habitual, getting to know a brand new language, exploring new places or enhancing our professional skills, New Year's resolutions give us the opportunity to develop and stay a fuller existence.
This new yr is a blank page complete of possibilities and I'm excited for the fine changes to come!
Throughout my life I actually have accomplished numerous resolutions that I had set for myself, and I am very happy approximately that.

I personally don't make new year's resolutions, because these resolutions usually turn out to be too vague to actually complete or if I set goals that are actually completable, I may run into a problem where I end up filling my resolutions and then get lazy from the feeling of accomplishments.
Earlier I tried to make some resolutions, some of them even were done. But last years I try to figure out what I want to reach and move forward with short steps step by stepπ£
I usually try to make a New Years Resolution but itβs usually unrealistic and I end up lasting just a few days π
I donβt think Iβve ever successfully completed a resolution.
This year I plan to cut down on my Cannabis intakeβ¦ Likely impossible, but Iβm giving myself a head start and trying to begin before the New Year
New Year Resolution
Right from the onset, i didn't really pay attention to what people said about new year resolution, though sometimes i sit down and think of things that i need to adjust in my life but when you talk about new year resolution, i don't think ive seriously made any.
It was just recently i started being serious about making resolutions, and i think early this year was the time i set up some goals of which i achieved only few.
I discovered that it wasn't as easy as i thought it would be but all i just needed was to increase the pressure.
I did make a new year resolution this year and it was Caused by something.
Mine was to lessen my usage of sugar to 1% because it always disturb me during menstrual circles, at the beginning of the year with the zeal In me I tried reducing it and I had less pains but later on I just forget about it and went back to the habit of using excess sugar ππ, so I won't say I accomplished it to the end but at least I started so I think I need an applaud for the efforts ππ.
DAY 4. MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION
hello friends in the house. I bring you all greetings from my side. I believe that the preparation for the season is really making sense.
It is very difficult to see someone who doesn't make new year resolution. I make it every year especially at the beginning of the year when I have checked my last year and come to a conclusion that I need to put more effort.
Seventy percent of my new year resolution has never been achieved. I try every year to keep to all that I said, but when I get to the middle I will always discover that I don't keep to what I said at the beginning of the year.
Well, because of my experiences from the previous resolution that I have made and never kept I have decided to just do what I know that I can do and leave the rest for God.
Thanks dear friends for coming my way.

I for making New Year's resolutions, consider goals that are realistic, specific, and measurable. Focus on personal development, health, relationships, or career accomplishments. Make sure the resolution can be broken down into small steps to make it easier to achieve. Small steps to achieve New Year's resolutions: 1. Specific and Realistic: Determine a specific and realistic resolution so that it is easier to achieve. 2. Schedule Actions: Create a small schedule of actions that can be done periodically. 3. Make Small Steps: Break down resolutions into small, achievable steps each week or month. 4. Record and Monitor: Be orderly in recording progress and monitor regularly to ensure you stay on track. 5. Social Support: Share the resolution with friends or family for support and perhaps a travel buddy. 6. Adapt to Change: If there are changes or difficulties, adapt and adjust the plan without losing focus. 7. Small Celebrations: Celebrate small milestones along the journey to maintain motivation. 8. Evaluate and Adjust: Periodically evaluate progress, adjust the plan if necessary, and stay committed to the resolution.
Maintain motivation by celebrating any progress, and remember that change takes time.
My resolutions for this year were numerous but some matter to me more than others.
I resolved to never lose guard on my health anymore, aside from planning to be richer and having more people around me.
I believe that having good health is a major key in life, I can't do without it.
I resolved to start learning so I could be better next year. I don't want to be left behind in this wonderful technology era we are in.
Learning can give me a better assurance of securing a better job everywhere.
That's just my three resolutions.
If you are healthy then other resolutions can be reached. Without health all of them are meaningless)
It was a bit hard last year due to a few health challenges. I hope things get better next year too.
I resolved to build a relationship this year but I have not been able to build a strong relationship.
I used to be a loner, I kept things to myself, my own, celebrated my success with myself and my decisions were all raw.
I have improved a little, now I do share my thoughts even if I do not take others' advice.
I will try again in 2024.
