What Are Your New Year's Resolutions?

I don't really do New Years Resolutions, per se, but on my birthday each year I do a little self-review and see what may need adjustment. Since my birthday is in December it is kind of the same thing.

Just in the last couple of weeks I've been diagnosed with a knee issue which may keep me from running anymore... that's a HUGE part of my life to give up. So my adjustments have to do with knee health, overall. Changing my workouts to focus on more on hips and IT band, that should help the knees. I've read that each lb you loose takes 4 lbs of pressure off your knees, so although I'm not really overweight, I could stand to loose 15-20 lbs. Keeping inflammation down thru ice, ibuprofen, and a more anti-inflammatory diet (no sugar or processed carbs) are on my list. Been reading this morning about stationary bicycles and elliptical machines and how to keep ready for running in a gentler way by using them.

Like with attacking your finances, lots to keep in mind. I'm too young to give up walking. (Or running!)
Best wishes.

Growth....mindful awareness and better self mgt....health / pain. HT

I don't like resolutions either but after the holidays is a good time to start stuff because there are fewer interruptions . I am going to try to focus on my health by finding a new PCP, getting regular massages, sleeping in the spare room until I can afford a new mattress to put in the waterbed frame and do the routine maintenance stuff I put off all fall while I took care of my mother in law.

Making resolutions and goals for the entire year of 2020 can be looking too far into the future for me. I think, in general, I'll make goals as the year goes along. I like taking life one day or one moment at a time, after all. Making long range goals for the whole year pretty much isn't for me.

I usually take things on a hour to hour basis. Lol.

This is the first time that I've felt strongly about having a resolution-cleaning up my finances.

I agree that setting goals can be looking too far into the future, but I also think it depends on the goals you have.

2019 has been a year of great financial stress for me, and I think the stress propelled me to set a goal of getting rid of some of my debt.

ASTRO, NO RESOLTION

I have always just tried to lived the best life, day to day.

Mindfullness, mediation, stillness and prayer. Have helped me tremendously

Peace

I would like to join in this if I may. Maybe some of you kind people can help me. I want to resolve to be healthier. I have cancer and degenerative disc disease so I don't know how I can get better. I go to all my drs all the time so I am hoping to feel better somehow.

On the side that I can control, I want to reach out and make as many friends as possible. I just like making friends and having people I can count on if I need them. I know this is hard to do across the net but hey, emotional support is great also.

Feel better everyone

Ocean, to bad about the cancer.

I have DJD also I use mindfulness alot!

When i was in my 30's I would give platelets at Cleveland Clinic. I have to say. The people I met when I lived out there, were the most optimistic I have ever met!

When starting having troubles in 2006, i remembered the conversations and I found a nutritionist and went onto a whole food diet slowly,

I now eat no processed foods, no artifical ingredients. No food dyes. And red blue are in everything it seems!

Very little red meat, or meat at all for that matter. Fish sometimes. Eggs often

I can say Ocean, it has reduced the inflamation of arthritis, mine is bilateral but ostio. And my joint seem to react better to the glucosamine

As for friends. We are here for you.
Where do you leave, desert right! Ah just kidding

Here is a link to a sight that has information on basically handling life as it comes and not beating yourself while doing it.

I hope it helps
