New Year resolution 2023

A recent article in the New York Times offered some intriguing food for thought. The headline: “Happy Low-Key New Year!” The point: “I don't need 2023 to be ...

I was asked to join a Dallas Book Club loaded with accomplished, bright women (including several agents) who read a book a month, report, and discuss. Instead, resolve to have more fun. Then, I’d like to form a band of other people over 40 that want to play 80s rock just for fun. My goal for 2023 is to take on some more difficult songs: Teen Spirit by Nirvana or Master of Puppets by Metallica. I just read an article about the history of some of our neighborhoods that will be great small talk when showing in that area. Don’t post a zero for the day: If your goal is to exercise 30 minutes but you’re short on time, exercise 10 minutes. I want to LOVE more parts of my 1980s soft contemporary home. I resolve to look at the places in my home that I’ve become blind to. I expect that I’ll have those down by summertime. My big resolution is to declutter. A recent article in the New York Times offered some intriguing food for thought. From there, make a daily to-do list which includes dusting, organizing clothes, making your bed, clearing nightstands and counters, and immediately discarding junk mail.

Rather than give up booze or go vegan for a month, I set myself three ridiculously easy tasks. I'm already feeling incredible – and disgusted with myself.

The last one is to order a sandwich other than the one called Alan in my local sandwich bar. I did it yesterday, and if starting the year absolutely disgusted with yourself floats your boat, it’s a winner. [to become neo-nihilists and not bother with anything](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/dec/11/i-am-getting-into-neo-nihilism-it-is-so-soothing-to-conclude-that-nothing-matters) and I’m starting this year doing the same; it’s become something of a personal brand. No, too sticky.) I Googled how to clean it, disregarding pages of “Don’t let it get dirty in the first place” advice (sure, nerds), then ended up scrubbing it with soapy water, an old toothbrush and a tampon because I didn’t have any of the recommended cotton buds or screen wipes. So I’ve changed tack and I commend my new strategy to you: the one-off resolution. (Smashed it!) This year, similarly devoid of meaningful aspirations, I resolved to bring all the clothes I need to get dressed into the bathroom in the morning, saving myself the freezing trudge along the landing to find knickers.

New Year's resolutions are not ways to become a different person, but aspirations we should try to recall throughout the year. As the spring semester kicks ...

This is a fun undertaking that can carry on well past the new year. To celebrate the new year in 2021, my dad bought a gym membership at Planet Fitness thinking it would motivate him to hit the gym. The Spotify algorithm makes it difficult not to hear the same 50 songs over and over again. Look it up on your music streaming service and listen to more of that artist. Meditation can center a person so that they can practice living in the moment. This year, you can try anything and everything to shake up your usual. Speaking as someone who struggles to lift a 15-pound dumbbell, fitness is a tough and sometimes laughable concept. Pittsburgh is very walkable and the ideal city to try this. After a couple of days, I did random things just for the heck of it, like taking a different bus home and eating a food that I normally found repulsive. Although that resolution didn’t stick for the whole year, it’s always useful to recognize when life gets a little too repetitive. I will go to my grave swearing that “Friends” is always applicable to real life, regardless of how much time passes since the sitcom debuted in 1994. But 2023 doesn’t need to have the word “failure” in its vocabulary.

At the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, we've helped people achieve health and fitness goals for decades, so we know something about how to get it done, ...

It may be a good day to start, but it doesn’t have to be the only time. You don’t have to go as far as the Stuart Smalley motivational pep talk in the mirror, but continue to speak words of encouragement to yourself. Something could derail your plans for that day or may even derail your ability to achieve the goal altogether. For example, if your goal is wellness, personal trainers will motivate you to stay on course to your goal. If you have a large goal, like losing a lot of weight, don’t put your focus on the end game. Never lose sight of the end goal, but keep your day-to-day focus on the milestones along the way.

Phyllis Diller was a hilarious and creative comedian. Plus, she told the truth. Keeping a clean house was a monotonous job that was not fulfilling. I remember ...

Walt Disney said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” Make 2023 the year you pursue your most personal goals and passions. You need to make specific steps to attain your goal. If you want to lose weight, don’t just say it, but make specific steps on how you will lose those extra pounds. Just saying you want to lose weight or anything else will not make your goal a reality. One of the most common regrets is not pursuing one's passions. My mom slammed down the phone and said, “I will be damned if I am staying in this house cleaning every day of my life.” My mom was lots of fun, and everyone loved here.

For most people, the new year brings a fresh chance to start over with a clean slate and implement changes into one's life. However, each year, New Year's ...

It’s okay if you do something just because it makes you happy — that’s the best resolution of all. In fact, I like the idea of having a long-term goal for the year — it seems to me as if they can only provide benefits. It’s better to get up and go and not wait until some arbitrary date to start doing what you want to do. It's not fair to hold yourself to the same path if you don’t want that anymore, and it’s not failure to change your goals. Instead, I propose that if one makes a resolution, they also resolve to give themselves a bit of grace. I don’t have a problem with the idea behind resolutions.

“I would say my New Year’s resolution is to be more optimistic,” said Kyleigh Valentine, a third-year student at GVSU. So normally, they’re not that sentimental and based on self-improvement.” “I want to start working out consistently,” said Lexi Geraci, a staff member at the Kelly Sports Center. This tradition has been carried on as many people see the new year as an opportunity for progress. Valentine said her resolutions have changed because of personal growth. Resolutions for the New Year usually have to do with bettering oneself in some way, whether it be mentally, physically or undergoing a lifestyle change.

Committing to become a stronger critical thinker – who can decipher fact from fiction and truth from opinion – could be the most helpful New Year resolution ...

It is the one capacity that truly distinguishes us as species. For example, thinking a student who wears glasses is a nerd or that an assignment will take the same time or effort that a previous one did might seem to be reasonable and harmless assumptions. [Reboot’s SHARP Thinking framework](https://reboot-foundation.org/sharp-thinking/), individuals must identify sound and relevant evidence to support or denounce an assumption, and engage in thoughtful, logical reflection to come to a solid conclusion. By Reasoning Through Logic, an important link in the critical thinking chain. Why focus on critical thinking in the new year? And unlike fad diets that probably won’t work as advertised, anyone can become a better critical thinker.

(WSFA) - Did you set New Year’s resolution? MOST people quit on the second Friday of the month, according to Strava, a Running and Cycling tracking app. How well are you keeping that resolution so far?
