Anyone Making any New Years Resolution's ?? (1014 views, 30 replies)

I never keep my New Years Resolutions, but this year, I am! I need to learn to say NO, without having to explain myself. This is a BIG deal for me.. I get myself into obligations, that I really didn't want to do, like volunteering for things when I am already so busy, I know I cannot commit to it, 100%, than kick myself, for not saying No in the 1st place,lol. Well this year it is going to be different, I put too much pressure on myself, so I am going to be "good" to myself for a change...... what are some of you all's Resolutions???

My New Year resolution in 1995 was to never make another resolution. It's working out great.

Happy 129th Birthday, Rescue Dog Mama 🎂

yes I am using a VPN 24/7 now let's see Google and the Gove spy on me now HAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't have to make it a resolution, the pain i get in my feet is already motivating me from over eating,i gotta lose weight!over-weight pains my feet twice as much.---yeah, pain is a great motivator!--if it hurts,you stop doing it sso much!

HMMM. .are you using a "paid VPN"?I know where there's a whole page of FREE ONES.HOW do the pay ones rate?hypothetically, how would it effect movie-finding,linking ,and avoiding huge search engines gunning for movie pirates and pirate sites?I heard about one,that was only accessible to a "very closed and private-member-entrance"that was given to already known people---Reditt was dumping sources of free movies with active copyrights.--Reditt dumped a bunch of assoc. sites.

Nope.

Rescue Dog Mama: I'm with you on that. I need to be stronger in my "nos" (and my "yeses").


Reminds me of what Elliott Hulse says in the vid. I saw it a couple years ago and it pops in my head all the time, (and it's something I still need to work on :( )... I know you're not talking about bullying but I think the video relates to what you're saying.

I don't really make resolutions, (or keep them I should say lol), but this year I want to stop spending so much time at home.

My resolution for 2019 is to wage war on those who use the FORUM as their personal printing press and in doing so, exclude members from threads and contributions by using a blocking system that was not intended for such purposes.

The Forum is an open border environment to all members and not a place for censorship but a special place for opinions, debate, education and blowing off steam as well as having a grin, a giggle and a guffaw. And maybe even a little "sex talk" for those who are interested.

I feel that "Comment is Hidden. Why?" contributions are divisive, unhelpful and cowardly (a bit like a wall a certain President is touting). In the Forun there is no place for such infantile behaviour. It is actually being used by the very people who have been shouting "wolf" for the past six months to attack and insult other members that they have blocked.

And it makes the games part of the forum ridiculous, excluding members from instructions and therefore making them look foolish when they can't follow the thread and may make mistakes that are not/cannot be corrected because of the "wall" created.
...
So that is my resolution for 2019 - FREE the FORUM FROM BLOCKHEADS and give it back to the openminded.

Thanks for the opportunity @Rescue Dog Mama - much appreciated.

I do make resolutions, and am proud of it because I keep my resolutions because they are realistic and work for me.

Beginnings are that way, and they can be ANYTIME during the year.

I just don't share what they are.

That's what works for me.

Happy, healthy New Year to one and all. 🍾🍾🍾

my biggest resolution is,"'Put up with miserable life, it hopefully will soon be over,and I'm NOT DOING IT AGAIN!"No entity can force you to repeat human life if you refuse to.

Some Orthodox Jews beieve that some humans DON'T BELONG HERE.--very intelligent are "messengers'" that are sent from advanced dimensions above, to come here,live a life.and on death return to more advanced dimensions to report what the lowest dimension,this one,"the Brutal world,the lowest,worst world,is like.They need a "messenger".

strangely, does Christianity have "messengers"in the Bible?That would make sense,but beings from more advanced worlds,would find human life here,Hell.It is Hell,for most of the world's population.--less than it used to be,but humans haven't changed basically.

I don't make resolutions.

mine is to stop looking at nudeys

The other resolution(which is very hard to do)is for me to stop posting extreme comments,not force people into my view--i used to be very tolerant,but it can vanish when dealing with reality.--older adults can get very cynical,(me)because all the experiences of horrible "the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to"in life,and you lose lofty ideals or opinions.-

-REALITY is the worst experience of older people. --I'm just going to molder,degenerate,dissolve,get sick,and lose my functions until i'm a pile of old bones.--ALL your friends often die.I apologize, I got very depressed in a "senior depression"which can often strike someone entering the Hall of Darkness. The worst is,you lose everyone and everything,(as an old man in a Luis Bunuel(spelling) movie(in Spanish)once said.)He was right--its often very hard to adjust to losing control so much,& losing the world.

Americans don't tolerate people in pain,depression,ect. ... very much, yer supposed to DRINK IT AWAY,DRUG IT AWAY, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. BE CHEERFUL.Therapists comment on the culture that it rejects any negative emotions,and insists everyone CHEER UP AND BE FINE!DRINK,DRUG,SUPRESS IT!DON'T BE SAD.!BE UP!

I don’t make them. I find that most people end up giving up completely because they attach their resolve to January 1st, and if they fail, even if it’s still January, they rarely say “Well, I’ll start again tomorrow.” They wait until next year! I prefer to say at any point in the year that I’m going to start or stop doing something, and then if I fail, I say “Well, start again tomorrow.” Or “Start again on Monday.” I’m like a dog with a bone when I decide to quit or start something, though. I have a VERY addictive personality, and it seems like I become addicted to not being addicted, and nothing will stop me once I decide it. But getting to the deciding to stop -or start- something is the journey for me. So, I don’t attach my resolve to January 1st, ever. That’s just what works for me. After a bunch or awful crap started in my life, I drank daily for about three years from age 41-44, and I quit the same way Alice Cooper did, who also has a very addictive personality. ... I haven’t had a drink or missed it or struggled with it at all for 9 years. But I didn’t do it because I’m amazing. I am not amazing. Like Alice, I never went to AA, and like Alice, I believe I was healed, I will never brag about “my” success with it because the second I take credit for it, I am sure I’ll fall flat on my face. It wasn’t January 1st, but it just happened to be Christmas Day, and I just didn’t feel like finishing a beer I was drinking. If I had attached it to a NY’s resolution, I’m sure I’d have messed up. If I have to diet, I just say “Ok, starting tomorrow” or sometimes, I just start the moment I’m told I have to restrict myself. And then I am hooked. And the longer I go, the more resolve I have to keep my streak going. I think it’s an addiction all of its own, but that’s how it works for me. But, I think it does work for some people to make NY’s resolutions. 😊 Happy New Year.

Yes. My husband and I both always look forward to the New Year with having goals, plans, resolutions to inspire life as it gives purpose, meaning and hope. We don't do the it the "traditional way" as that's a setup for failure and disappointment. It would be so very uninspiring to not have any set goals/aspirations/plans/resolutions that would help to improve self and therefore all life connected to. Always deciding on reasonable ones do help and if for whatever reason at the end of the year, some we did not achieve will either be forgotten or continued to the following year... month, week or day.

None of my goals/plans/aspirations/resolutions include this site so I am not sure I can add much to this here as I see most replies regard two-movies and I can't relate. I also prefer to not share mine on a public forum either way especially when there are so many hate filled trolls that just feed off these types of posts. The only one I will share is that I aim to be a better version of my self for myself and all those around me. :)
...
With that said, I do encourage others to think about their goals, dreams, plans, aspirations, resolutions on a positive note because it's important to be happy and if you don't achieve them all (if any) , who cares lol just try!

Happy New Years 2019 to ALL who read this - Stay Blessed!

Nope, it's pointless attempting to improve on perfection
