Go on then, what are your new years resolutions?

[Probablier]

I know, I know, new years resolutions are passe/juvenile and they go against all the mn rules but I'm pretty sure everyone makes some mentally, whether they admit it or not. Mine are-

-Eat healthier/exercise more/lose weight
-Cut down on spending and start saving seriously

Boring as fuck aren't I Hit me with your wild and wacky ones so that I can steal them please

1. I will NOT buy more Star Trek (or indeed any film, tv series or book) merchandise until I’ve put new shelves up for my current new items.
2. I will cut my self some fucking slack and try to beat my mental health issues for once and for all.
3. I will stop harassing strangers in the street if they’re walking cute dogs (pre and post Covid ofc).

Face yoga. That is all.

Read at least one chapter of a physical book every day.

Spend at least 15 minutes a day improving my French on Duolingo. (Though I’ve been doing that since March 2020.)

At least once a week, spend an hour sorting paperwork.

Ideally, spend less time on Pokémon Go, but that’s not likely to happen.

Look into botox

Survive.

Stop swearing

Complete Dry January.

Read at least 3 books in January.

Get over my ex.

Sort my affairs out - physical space, documents, financial, etc (get my shit together 😂)

Go for a nature walk every week end.

Reduce screen time to 1 - 2 hours per day.

There's more I'm sure.

2) I will cut my self some fucking slack and try to beat my mental health issues for once and for all

This is pretty much my main one. Almost 5 years housebound as a result and I'm sick of being a victim to it BUT I'm also wanting to break the cycle of pushing myself to do things that make me appear "better" to others inc hcps but which I am essentially "faking" and which ultimately leads to me spiralling down again and each bloody time I'm even worse! This time I want to get well slowly but properly if that makes sense?

Learn to listen and be supportive without trying to make things right for people bad habit of mine I have the urge to change things and struggle to just let them vent.

Take a beat before reacting to toxic people's effects in my relationships with others, that sounds a bit cryptic I know but makes sense to me

1.Start, and continue with TOMM to keep the house clean and tidy.

1. Eat healthier and exercise more. I need to lose about 10 stone overall.
2. Read more books instead of wasting time on my phone.
3. Set up my etsy shop

I'm hoping all of those will help me improve my mental health which is at an all time low.

To say NO.

It's been so much easier because of Covid and lockdown to say NO and my life has been better for it. So going forward I'm going to pretend to myself I'm still in lockdown and say NO to my pushy sister in law about meeting up so she can berate me about my life, my children, my husband, give me a hard time about being a working mother (I don't have a choice bills need paying) but the last 9 months I haven't been in her company and I'm a much happier person for it. It will continue. And to be able to take a stand at work with certain colleagues who like to bitch.

Oh and reading way more books of course

I want to continue reading. I've done 50+for the last few years & it feels

2021*

No more stupid diets, food rules or fads - I’m going to stop trying to control my body and it’s size/shape and just accept it for what it is

2. Try to get up earlier on weekends

Movement everyday

Much less booze. I dont drink a lot but its a glass of wine 4-5 nights a week. Eat less crap. Im bloated even though a size 10 i look 4 months pregnant. Ive just finished my 6 course B12 injections so gonna eat better, less sugar/carbs and keep at the 2 litres of water a day. I walk lots and run so need to keep at that.

Oh and lose 6 lbs. much if that will cone from the waist issue! And do some sort of exercise at hone like the plank twice a day, squats, star jumps. Just a little something few times a day.

Dh and I are doing dry January. I need to lose a lot of weight so a general healthy eating/more exercise approach as well. Pay down debts and spend less frivolously. Declutter the house. Pretty much the same as last year!
