What are your new years resolutions for 2009?
I was amused at how different my new years resolutions are from last years.
Last year I went for the classic.. “Lose weight”, “Exercise more”, and “Work harder”
But this year I’ve gone for a different approach. So far, I have decided on:
– learn how to play the guitar
– make more friends
– give myself more me-time & pamper myself more
What are your new years resolutions? Do you think you will stick to them?

I have 2 that I’m going to try really hard to work on, and they are:
-Try to respect my parents more
-Work harder at school
I have to pick my options in Feb, so I’m gonna work really hard.
January 20th, 2011 at 12:33 pm
I like yours!
Mine are something like:
Learn how to sketch/draw
Drink more red wine
Write more
Make a daily, conscious effort to love myself more
I’d also really like to pet a giraffe- I think they’re so cute!
Congrats to you on ditching the cliched, self-deprecating resolutions and creating more positive, productive and fun ones for the new year! It’s impossible to be too good to yourself!

I plan on taking life as is. Meaning when you pick up sand and it just falls through your hand you accept it for what it is. Im going to try and not compare my life to my friends for what they have and what i don’t have. T.I.’s Live Your Life is my song Inspiration for 2009 because it shows that i need to cherish my life and not materialistic things. Some people have it worse than me or are dead. Also Work on the relationship with my 7 year old son he can be very disrespectful at times and Happiness and Joy to

This year i have two resolutions:

Life is good
January 21st, 2011 at 12:53 am
I want to be healthier, lose weight, and get in better shape.
But since those are such vague goals I decided to set more concrete realistic goals to help me accomplish that.
So I made my goals the following:
1) Become a vegetarian.
2) Run a 5k race in the summer.
3) Run a 10k race in the fall.
And I also want to get involved with a local charity. I just need to research one and find a good one!
And I decided not to wait until new year’s to start.
I haven’t had meat in a month and I have been going to the gym at least 5 days a week for a month also. This way I gave myself a good start to the year. I’ve already been maintaining my resolutions and the year just started! It’s good to have a positive start I think!
January 21st, 2011 at 1:17 am
hmm well mine are to
1.) let go of the boy i love, and let myself be free
2.) grow my nails out
3.) lose some weight
4.) write my own songs and compose music for them
5.) paint at least 4 more pieces of artwork
6.) use my medication everyday (im kinda bad at that, i always forget)
7.) stay healthy
8.) learn to love myself the way i am
9.) not give in to fights so easily, and speak my mind when i’m unhappy about something
10.) work harder at school
haha, i’ve been thinking of loads more but i think i should stop at 10. ;]
and yes, i think i’m going to stick with at least 5.. that’s my goal, actually.
good luck and happy new year!!
January 21st, 2011 at 2:00 am
My resolutions are:
Keep my room clean. 🙂
Get a better math grade…
Lead a more active life; less computer/TV time and more exercise!
I want to get better at playing the piano; I’m already pretty good, but I know I can push myself and be better.
I think if I really try, I can do these things!
January 21st, 2011 at 2:10 am

ive decided to make a NEW resolution this year. im not gonna focus solely on me, im gonna focus on spending more time with my long distance family, make more time with my kids, and make more time and focus on my husband, cause a lot of times we get wrapped up in our busy lives, so on new years day i made him breakfast in bed, which im gonna do that on our weekends off. more quality time to focus on him as well. he has taken care of me for 20 yr and now its his turn…im gonna pamper him.
January 21st, 2011 at 4:00 am
im going to have to say……..get rid of stress. and lose about 5-10 pounds. im not a big-girl….but my tummy is now softer than usual. i had a feminine 6-pac last year, but with my added stress…it got softer. lol.
oh and the obvious: be a better person.
January 21st, 2011 at 4:17 am
My resolution is to change my habbit after school. Instead of procrastinating homework and then taking a nap im going to do homework before the nap or jus start homework shortly after i get home. that way i wont be up late and in an endless cycle of no sleep. yepp thats my resolution. and i think i will stick to it because i use to do this earlier this year.
