New years resolution time is the best time of year! The moments of optimism and false hope where you imagine yourself being a better person or at least trying to become a person you aren't ashamed of while briefly considering your own mortality and the diminishing likelihood of accomplishing things and quietly deprioritizing things that had once seemed important by leaving them off your list of resolutions. It's a great way to remind yourself of all of your flaws and choose just a couple big ones to fail to correct! This is your year!
I'd love to hear ideas for this year! Actually i don't know of any resolutions thread here that has ever ended well, so let's get another failed thread going. I'm willing to bet that most of you won't even resolve to read through this first post. Most of you probably got through best time of the year!, skipped to the end, saw a bulleted list and decided not to bother with the rest. Maybe you skim the first and last sentence of each paragraph. That's usually the best part!
The hardest part for most people is willpower! Especially the willpower not to rush to be the first day bag to make the exact same banal post as all the other d bags who will undoubtedly not read far enough to make that same post. Just fyi, I'm pretty sure most people who resolve not to make resolutions are in fact resolving themselves to use clichéd humor to cover for their fear of self examination. People who do it in this thread are probably also resolving themselves not to read long posts. Except for the guy who pretends to do it ironically. Sadness, unoriginality and lack of willpower. And the guy who tells everyone that they shouldn't wait to January to make changes in your life. By undermining the resolutions of others under the guise of common sense wisdom and motivational speech you're revealing yourself as the guy who cockblocks his friends' efforts at self improvement to make himself feel better about not working towards his own goals. But that's OK! We all need help with willpower sometimes!
I was thinking
- cooking more homemade meals
- cutting out booze during the week
- putting in 60000 steps a week.
10000 a day isn't always easy but I can do it most days. When the weather was nice I was walking instead of going to lunch but now it's going to get harder so better to have a formal resolution.
What you got? Really excited for 2016!
