(NTTCALR) New Year Resolutions

LittleMrsW · December 2014

Well it's just about that time again, the whole New Year, New Me thing.

How do you ladies feel about resolutions? Do you have any goals in mind for 2015? I usually have a few resolutions, but have a hard time holding myself accountable for them. What do you do to keep on track?

I don't usually do a resolution but I do set goals. I keep track in my planner (I'm still old school lol). I keep a daily my 5 grateful/happy things so I'm in the habit of writing everyday and checking in.

This year one of my goals is to continue to decluttering and keep up the minimalist style we started this year. Our house is looking great because if it and I'm only keeping things with meaning or purpose.

A second is to stick to a budget- this won't be too hard (in theory lol) but if I jot down my spending when I write my five things I'll see what is necessary and what is just impulse.

I don't know. I just want to be happier. And that is 100% a choice. I can't control the fact that we have no children and that it is a difficult journey trying to grow our family, but I can control my reactions. I can choose to look at all of the good in our lives and focus on that rather than focusing all of my energy on trying for this thing that may never actually happen.
In early 2015 we will have been married for 5 years, and most of our energies in those 5 years have been spent toward this goal. In 2015 my new goal is turn our energies back to our relationship. We need it, we deserve it.
Other goals for 2015 include biking and being active more. Our Christmas gifts to each other will help with that! (yay bike trainer!) Spending less money. Use our spare money for saving and experiences. Because experiences will always be more important than stuff. We have too much stuff, so we are planning on purging our environment of many things. When we have spare time, we plan to do things with that time. Go on long distance bike rides, take a hike, take day trips.
Enjoy life.
Yes I say "we" a lot, because most of the time my husband and I have mutual goals.

I don't make resolutions. I feel like it is lying to myself. But the H and I usually take January to get back on the healthy train because December is so busy and tempting. We also have some goals of things we need to do with the house ie a new roof, work on the front yard, remove the old unused oil tank and fix the garden shed.

I make resolutions...and fail every year. Lose weight, go back to church. Ugh, the same every year. I think the new year is a good time to think about what you want to do differently in the next year. I feel like its a good time to just say "its a new year and a new day".

I'm not sure if I'll make resolutions this year. Like @heartbot, I can only hope that 2015 will bring better things than this year did. Good riddance 2014.

@skategirl128‌ I love the idea of 5 grateful/happy things daily. So many times I catch myself focusing on all the negatives going on in my life, I forget to think about the good.

@heartbot‌ & @welly01‌ I'm definitley in the "let's make 2015 better than this year" boat.

I would like to get healthier, I used to be on a weekly running routine/schedule, but I just got lazy. I need to hold myself accountable instead of finding excuses (which I'm the queen of).

I'm with the majority I don't really make resolutions - I don't really see the point when I know I won't stick with it. But I do want to work on being happier and not trying to control so much in my life.

My major goal is to pay down some of our debt. I finally got H on board, so it should be easier.

catvaughn5002 · December 2014

I'm not big on making resolutions. I just aim to have a healthier and happier 2015! I'm also ready for a fresh start. Can't wait to ring in the new year <:-P

Nikolie93 · December 2014

I have been against new year resolutions for the most part because I found I had the same ones year after year...which means my list was an epic fail every year, and I find if you have resolutions it's easier to set them aside later in the year due to the whole "well, it's a new year in a few months, I will start it then".

However, the new year always makes me think about things I would like to change. I like the idea of setting goals and I am thinking if I made a physical list of stuff, I may do better. I am a project manager so checking things off a list really helps me keep motivated.

And I am with many of you ladies...buh bye 2014, I really didn't like you!
