Hey Pandas, Share Your New Year’s Resolutions (Closed)

I'd like you to share your New Year's resolutions.

I have several related to objectives/goals, but the most important one is to be kinder to myself. I treat me like c**p, and I've given myself a stern lecture: if I don't stop saying bad things about me, I'm going to put myself in time out.

I need to do the same. Self care for once. It’s not selfish.

Call a friend or family member once per week (a different person each week) just to talk and catch up and see how they are.

For 3 years, I have tried to join and open a FacesofMankind.org in New York City. Never got a response. My new year’s resolution is to go out on my own visiting the homeless individuals and encampments in the East Village asking to be part of MY OWN “Faces of the East Village”.
To my surprise and delight, every one I interviewed agreed to let me photograph and paint their portraits. These people will be the recepients of the proceeds from the sales of the paintings.
It will take awhile, as I am alone in this…and have to beome a legal Not-For-Profit.
However, I am undaunted, and have begun my first painting…Eduardo.
It has been quite humbling to hear people’s stories about how they got where they are.
I hope you will check out Faces of Mankind…it is quite remarkable.

I was just diagnosed with ADHD. At age 68. Hopefully next year I'll be able to understand myself better and not feel like a loser. And maybe gain some tools to help with my brain.

I want to explore art. My art was discouraged and criticized when I was young so I gave it up. I'm going to embrace my art even if no one likes it but me.

Yayyy! Art for art's sake! Friends, family and even art teachers can do more harm than good when it comes to creativity. I wish that I hadn't shut down my artistic aspirations when I was younger because I was afraid of others opinions. Your creative outlet is more important than the idle and often ignorant opinions of others. Seek out the company of other artists or art students who can at least appreciate the effort and your abilities.

I resolve to bat more things under the sofa. Audi resolves to pounce everything that needs it.

To focus more on getting myself healthy. Not just losing weight. I want to be around for awhile.
And to read one book a month. :)

It is very difficult to rein in a generous heart. Unfortunately it's extremely attractive to the least generous people out there.

For no particular reason, I've decided to learn ASL (American Sign Language). Shortly after making this decision, I watched Barbie on Netflix and they had an ASL translator - very cool. Then I was scrolling FB one day, and my favorite band had posted a video at a concert of a girl signing the words to the song to her friend. I feel like there was a third "sign" I've forgotten... and so that's my goal.

To drink more water, I usually have 4 or 5 cans of pepsi max and no water each day but 2024 is the year of starting to drink more water and less fizzy drink. A secondary one is to eat more healthily as I need a hernia repair operation and the surgeon won't do it until I've lost about 40 kilos. Taking it 1 kilo at a time.

Try carbonated water! I'm a carbonation addict, and it's the only way I can drink plain water.

Well, that IS your new year's resolution. As typical to most of us, you'll break your resolution eventually. Which is kinda good news, I'd say.

I don't ever make New Year's Resolutions. I find it odd to tie change to a calendar. I try to be self-aware, whether January 1st or mid-November. Happy New Year!
