What's your New Years Resoultion?

[unfoundiamond]

I might be early... but oh well...


What (if any) New Years Resolutions do you have...

Kinky or No??

Did you choose it?
(Did your PYL, or will you tell them to enforce it? Or if you are a PYL, will it be happening for your pyl?)

Come one come all,

It'll be like a survey...

 

[HottieMama]

Haven't thought about it or discussed it yet. i'm not really a fan of New Year's Resolutions though.

 

[graceanne]

In 1996 I resolved to never make another new years resolution, and I've kept that resolution ever since.

 

[Betticus]

Mine would be to successfully quit drinking.

 

[unfoundiamond]

aw, cmon Hottie, ...I have one...

I am going to start writting stories again...

I never wrote them on Lit, but I used to write a lot of gorey fiction and non fiction.

I'd like to get back into writting, and never mentioned it but came to the boards to "warm up" a little, since I had'nt written in a long time.

I don't get into stupid resolutions no one can realisticly keep because that is setting myself up to make empty promices to myself and accept failure, two things I don't do unless I have no choice.

I like to take the time to think of a good goal at the beggining of the year and acomplish it,

I had one to get in school, I will now be done by march at the latest(yes it took more time than planned). When I acomplish that goal, I will have completed my own objective and seen something through completely (first time!!)

Its not a bad thing...

well, according to my mom, my resolution will be to stop a certain bad habit that i'm not comfortable naming here. Good luck getting me to do that, mom.

I would like to say that my resolution is to stop letting certain people take advantage of me and hurt me.... but I'd probably break that one pretty damn quick.

So I'll say that my resolution is to send out at least one manuscript to a publisher by the end of the year.

And maybehopefullypleasemaybe find a Mistress?

To pass all of my classes and graduate in August.

 

[ecstaticsub]

To take better care of myself. Eat better, exercise more, go to the dr and get some health issues looked at, and most of all decrease stress!

 

[DarkhairedLady]

my resolutions to once again try to quit smoking, i've come close this year but due to holiday stress i picked it back up. but i have cut down a LOT. so it's not a complete loss nor an unattainable goal i think.

the past 4 years have been good to me. i've played it safe and worked on internal issues. i'm thinking this is the year will start being more adventerous and work on fun stuff! like attend a munch, go to a fetish shop, finally buy or craft myself some fun toys! then find someone to play with.

I don't do resolutions. Why set yourself up for failure as one of your first actions in a new year? The vast majority of people never come close to what they resolve to do. It's like making a list and saying "These are the big important things that I will fail at again this year".

That's always been my feeling on them. Not to mention it gives you something to beat yourself up over all year. You're just setting yourself up for depression.

 

[myinnerslut]

You could do my old new years resolution. RESOLVE TO NEVER HAVE A RESOLUTION AGAIN. It's great. I chose that one my senior year of highschool - we had to write a brief essay on our new years resolution and how we were gonna acomplish that.

I didn't get a very good grade on that essay. Teachers don't want to hear the truth, they want to hear what THEY think.

 

[myinnerslut]

Teachers don't want to hear the truth, they want to hear what THEY think.

hey!

 

[graceanne]

hey!

Well, remember that when you're a teacher, and don't do it. I am an 'awful teacher' magnet. If their's a bad teacher in a school, I'll get him.

That particular teacher didn't like me cause I'm a Christian. Not only did he not like me cause I'm a Christian, but he tried to flunk me for doing my senior project on something religion based. My mother raised hell, and I got a D-. We could have raised hell about THAT, too (cause I'd turned in all my homework and gotten decent grades) but I could graduate with that, and that's all I cared about at that point. The jerk.

 

[bandelero]

hum..

Sucess or failure to achieve any of my New Years Resolutions is of nowhere near as much importance to me as actually making some statements of what I hope to be able to achieve in the coming year....it is something I always do...the time I have nothing left to want to achieve is when they will be waving me off on the final journey
So, for this year:-

1) Eat MUCH less chocolate, sweets, sugary stuff.

2) Lose at least 30 lbs weight (ties in neatly to 1)

3) See if it is possible to mend any broken fences (relationships) from last year.

4) In the springtime, knock all the dust off my Oils and paint something.

5) Sort out my passport.

With luck these should all be within grasp with just a little effort

 

[EmpressFi]

hmm, everything I was going to say are things I'm doing now anyway.. so .. I guess if I had to have one it would be.. stop responding to posts that piss me off

 

[coy_one]

Quit drinking as much and exercise more.

QFE!!!

I like New Year and the concept of resolutions. I love the idea of fresh starts and setting myself goals....many of which (though not all) I have managed to meet. My resolutions are more attitude based than physical ones...like Marie they might involve an end to accepting certain behaviour from other people or a better way of conducting myself/living my life.

I have found them to be a really useful tool in helping me get through some pretty bad times, particularly during my divorce and around the death of my father. Perhaps its a lot to do with postitive thoughts or providing a focus. *shrugs* I don't know....but for me it works.

I'm not sure what this years will be yet, though I do have a good idea. I'll ponder and post later.

 

[ShyVixen]

I sometimes make resolutions. Mainly they are chosen by me, and are internal ones to do with me setting goals. I have a few I have in mind for 2008, but we'll see.

 

[unfoundiamond]

I guess...

To those who have one, Good Luck and Thx for sharing...

Some of your resolutions made me think of little things I need to do, like renew my own passport (heh, thx Bandolero)

Thanx for all your responces...

Even those who don't have one..
I guess not everyone likes resolutions...
Doesn't suprise me... everyones diffrent...

I just use it as a excercise... I know people who set a lot more goals than one per year, and they are pretty sucessful people... they also set goals, strive and acomplish them...

They don't set the same goal every year and not acomplishing it, that's pointless...

Some people just wanna do something and go do it... I have to plan things... and focus myself... I tend to feel overwhelmed and don't know where to begin, unless I plan it and start with something managable... I get unsettled when I let myself procrastinate...

I guess I set goals a lot... (I have three other goals I am almost done completing come to think of it) Maybe I am just a goal oriented person
(not that other aren't, but that I don't feel good about myself unless I am constantly improving and working towards what I want. In the times in my life I didn't set goals, I would sleep a lot, didn't wanna get out of bed, procrastinated because I didn't know where to begin, and even had a nervous breakdown becaue I felt my life was stagnant, and I couldn't fix it.)

I learned a easy way to prevent this is to be proactive and actually DO some of the things I daydrempt about.
(Like going back to school and getting out of my dead end job was one of last years... and I have... almost done with school alltogether...woohooo!)

 

[brioche]

I kind of have a resolution...
One of the therapists told me my low self-esteem and a few other aspects of my personality are what make abusers like my principal see me as a target and - well, bother me, I guess. So she's offered to set me on the path to changing those aspects so that I won't be viewed as a target anymore. She's going to work with me on that. I actually to some degree don't LIKE her appointments, I usually end up crying in them, but I'm going to do this. It'll be work, but in so many other ways I'm such a strong person that this needs to be taken care of because I never want to be this vulnerable to someone like her again.

That and to getting back to eating right. I've been working very hard exercising, but this whole situation has thrown my eating into an uproar, and I'm worth more than that. So that's me, I guess.

 

[twysted73]

I resolve.....

....to get into the LPN program this year. I resolve to get into a different appartment.
I resolve to get a new cell phone carrier since I expire from the evil AT&T in march. Leaving that phone number behind me will actually act as a closing for my past in many ways.

The last 2 years have shown me what the bottom of the barrel looks like.

But...I noticed something down there that I didn't expect to see. A few gold nuggets to keep me going.

So, on the movie list: Nightmare before christmas, a christmas story, edward scissorhands & it's a wonderful life.

 

[madetotakeit]

This coming year I am putting my personal priorities over my work priorities. I have devoted more than my share of time and I have a whole new world to discover.
