It was researched that those who didnt make them, still broke them, those that wrote them down, shared them with friends and family and then had a reward for achieving their resolution task where more successful at keeping to their new year resolutions, so it maybe a good idea to have a go this year to see if it works.

Now that confuses me. If I don't make make one how can I break it?

 

If you want to do something in life just do it.

mine is to carry on losing weight. I have lost 10kg but need to lose 5kg more.

 

To sort out my chest (health wise). CT scan booked for the 2nd february.

 

Carry on playing tennis twice a week

 

 

[justine1]

I also dont really believe in new years resolutions in fact never made any in my life!!I do set myself realistic goals,it can be monthly,weekly or daily,it all depends on how much I have to do.If I am to busy I dont have the time to think about what I am doing and (as chris put it) I just do it.

 

I do need motivation nowdays and I guess thats why I decided to make a new years resolution,but I dont really see it as that I just see it as setting myself goals.I try not to set goals I cant achieve,like I say I will try lose weight I wont say I will lose 2 stone because its possible I wont reach that goal,so even if I lose 30pounds here and there it will be fine!!!

Other things like passing the courses I am doing are a MUST and I dont need to much motivation to do it,but even with that I have lots of reminders about deadlines and I set daily targets with my reading otherwise I just sit watching telly or going online

[smiley1590]

mine are : mental health related

 

reduce depression,anxiety and stress with NAS pyschology sessions

to improve self harm

to work through grieving processes over both my nans passing away and coping 'better' with it coming to terms with accepting

 

to keep going gym and eat fruit

to keep writing poetry

to keep working part time

 

hope promote awareness and understanding through project supporting helping others with AS!

to get my poems and book published ( find someone willing publish them!) like jessica kingsley

Hi my online buddies! thank you very much for your responses. I like the idea of resolutions, I have made the one for driving for over 3 years now, i failed 7 tests during that time, i have had to go back and do the theory test again, my lack of driving licence really depresses me particularly when it is raining. I love walking and walk every where all the time. So in the new year I would like to pass my driving test and I am taking lessons again, I failed my tests on hesitancy! I feel helpless, some1 suggested the automaticl car, so i will need to look into that option. My oldest son goes to a school which is a while away, He has been a source of fall outs when it came to people giving us lifts, because of his aggressive tendencies. I would like to take myself less seriously as well. I would like to enjoy my life. I am due to go for surgery, and according to the bmi chart, which by the way was divised in the 50s when women were very slim, I am obese class one, so i was told i have to bring my weight down to 66kg, I have already lost 8 kg and and at 70kg, the appointment is next week, I dont know how i will shift these 4 kg before i see the consultant. I even do a food diary and write everything i have eaten, and today i think i had 1290 cal, which is really not good. I find it hard to stay motivated. I like the idea of new year resolutions, i am forgiving myself and giving myself another fresh leaf to start on, and giving myself another chance.

 

thanks guys, its good to see my resolutions are not too far from others.

 

kind regards and I am offline now as my kids are messing instead of going to bed.

I had to take all the pressure of myself reguarding my driving test, I told myself it doesnt matter if I dont pass, and I started to take pleasure in walking, including the rain, but its actually liberating to walk in the rain too, I saw things I would not see if I was in a car and I would take time looking at nature and wildlife, I enjoyed the alternative methods of transport something we struggle with because J hates busy, smelly , noisy enviroements but took nice days out that made it pleasant, you have to look at the positives of what a situation is bringing you, then for some reason it takes away the urgency to pass it, I told myself I didnt need a car, though I did, but I had to tell myself it wasnt essential, dont get me wrong since having passed and driving it is much easier to get him to A to B but there is still times he becomes aggressive and demanding and he gets upset because of traffic or parking issues, so the problems just transfer.

 

Enjoy the moments you have cycling, walking, going on a train ride ect...

Thank you very much JsMum, thats just what i need to hear, I need to take pressure off myself, if i pass i pass, if i dont then it was not meant to be. Thank you very much for your very thoughtful and spot on thread, think you ought to write a book. xx

Im a pagan so my new year began last june. i forgot to make my resolutions (or lost the data when the pc was repaired) during this "festival of mabon" as we call it so have decided i would have made the following resolutions. (i will include updates so far as to how im progressing).

 

1, to cut down on my paper contents by 50% (so far im doing this)

 

2, to pass my driving test by Halloween (this was too much in the end so deadline extended for a year)

 

3, to start attending a different fibro group (managed in the end and haven't regretted it, felt edgy at previous one)

 

4, to pass the next year of university (ongoing due July 2010)

 

5, to reach and exceed the 5 years since i last tried to end my own life in feb 2010 (nearly there)

 

6, to attend autscape a few months later (despite my severe mental health problems at the time i made it)

 

7, to get out of and stay out of debt (had a problem with my mobile phone bill this month but it was unexpectedly high)

 

8, to reduce my outgoings by £20 at least so if the ESA is assessed i will be able to makeup for the deficit (nearly made it but less urgent now i dont have to go through an assessment period as im moving from one benefit to another)

 

9, to work with the new NAS bristol autism officer (even better im editor of 2 newsletters)

 

10, to increase my voluntary work within the NAS at a pace i can handle (i appear not being able to handle the work but i can manage it better now that ive planned my time better

 

11, to buy some stamp albums to organise my collection better (ive not got over 40 stamp albums in my house)

 

So far so good.

 

Alexis

 

PS some years i had so much going on i only made the resolution not to die by my own hand.

I had trouble thinking of mine this year, most likely because I spent New Years Eve sober and most of the ones I have had in the past have been inspired by a substantial amount of alcohol

The only ones I could think of were

1) Try my hardest to pass the upcoming exams and ignore the usual distractions

2) Try to occasionally communicate with my housemates

 

Good luck with all of yours!
