What are your New Years resolutions?
I honestly don't make any resolutions for the new year. I learned a while ago that it's a fruitless effort. I do fine with them in January then forget about them for the rest of the year. I normally just try to keep them in mind throughout the year now. For instance, losing weight and getting in shape are constant resolutions. Lots of people get in shape for a couple of months and then go right back to eating poorly and not exercising afterwards. Resolutions only work when they become habits. For instance, for myself, healthy living has become a way of life. I'm in the best shape of my life because I made a decision to get in shape and to stay there.
While I don't believe in resolutions, I do believe in taking advantage of them. Because two of the most popular resolutions are to lose weight and get in shape, I load up on all my exercise clothing, gear, and vitamins in January, when the stores have those things at half price or buy one, get one free. Here's a list of the top ten resolutions:
1. Spend more time with friends and family
2. Lose weight
3. Exercise more
4. Quit smoking
5. Drink less alcohol
6. Enjoy life more
7. Get organized
8. Become debt free
9. Become more charitable and help others
10. Learn a new skill
