New Year's Resolutions for 2026

[Marie2020]

Absolutely! This one's for you, Debbie!

You know, I'm starting to think there are a lot of people like this. Of course it feels like crap when it's family, even though I'm sure it's not personal. I took a similar route and just don't bother sharing anymore. So you're not alone.

BUT, my mental health has improved tenfold!

I agree to what was said above

I wrote off selfish people a long time ago. Fake friends for instance. Those that only use you when they want something and leave you high and dry you when you really need support.

IMHO, you can choose your own family! I have let only a few into my world, and I am much more confident and happier by far to what I once was.

Probably to be able to do 15 pistol squats on each leg. And 20 pushups with good form without breathing so hard I sound like a train

This one’s kind of embarrassing but speaking of mental health… my goal for 2026 is to STAY OUT OF HOSPITALS. Not just until the fall like I’ve been doing but not AT ALL in 2026. And hopefully not 2027 either, etc.

Whoa, you'll have to get back to us how that is coming along!

Awe, let's all hope so!

Mine is to work hard at getting a normal sleep schedule.

I work from home and am stuck into old work habits of working nights, so I still do that. I'm up until the wee hours of the morning getting my work done. I'd like to try change that to getting up earlier and going to bed sooner. I've said that before but this has been going on for several years. It's about time!

Dim lights earlier on.

I used to stay up past midnight. Turns out that dimming the lights and not having super bright lights in spaces means that I felt sleepier faster. I've gotten it to around an 11:30PM earliest normal bedtime now.

Of course, finding a monitor with that would be finding a unicorn.

More or less, I've set resolutions before and have only managed to keep two of them. Daily selfie, it's literally point my phone at my face for a few seconds. And a journal (I saw that BYC Journal thread and it reminded me of it), which has turned more into a "Day is normal, this is what I ate, this is what I read, here's a TL;DR of what I did, I'm having stuffy nose, it's cold, that's it".

Both were more or less just simple things. They didn't really change my life that much, but at least I now have some record or another of things.

Every time I've set a new year's goal that's supposed to make me better at things, it never works.
