2026 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

I gave up making new year resolutions my first or second year of Senior school, aged 13. I realised there was no point, as we all made lists and tried hard to abide by them for a fortnight or so, but after that we were back to doing or not doing all and everything on those lists.

Since then, if I really think, as obviously I often have, that I need to stop a bad habit, or cultivate a virtue, or whatever occurs to me, then I try to do so, whether it is New Year or not.

I lost a dear friend of 55 years just before Christmas. She was the healthiest of all of us. She was told she had sciatica and that even more walking than she already did would help. What she actually had was bone cancer and she died really quickly after finally getting a correct diagnosis.

For that reason I am going to work hard to stay well, double check any diagnosis I get for anything and stay in touch with her dear little Granddaughter who doesn't understand where Grandma is.

To get through the year without buying anything on impulse from a social media ad.

I would like to replace photographs in frames to more up to date ones that is very achievable.
Drinking less red wine and losing a stone not so oh and do more exercise. Not so easy as I’m sure I will be saying the same next year.

I am going to say yes to things I want to do, but are slightly scared.

I am going to say no to things I just do not want to do!

Totally understand GG13

I find it hard to say NO to a lot of things… especially where chocolate is concerned … think ive 2stone of it stored around my middle 🤣

No, I don’t make any resolutions. That way I don’t feel a failure when I don’t manage to stick to them!😂

Yes!

Almost always the same ones!

Lose weight
Be more tolerant
Declutter and deep clean my entire house (& my head!)

I am going to try really hard not to say anything unpleasant about anybody.

I may think it, but will strive to keep it to myself.

Only seen DH so far this year, am doing well up to now.

😇.

I won't make New Year resolutions. I don't see the point in trying to change who I am. Last year was a particularly difficult one for me and my family so all I'm hoping for is a healthy year ahead.
