Dear Poll: Have You Broken Your Resolution Yet?

January 2, 2009

Resolutions are hard to keep, and it's not uncommon to fall off the wagon just days after vowing to break a bad habit or pledging a healthier lifestyle. Since we're just two days into the New Year, be honest, have you already broken your New Year's resolution?

No I have surprisingly kept mine. My resolution was to be nicer to people (because I have this mean streak that I honestly didn't realize I had.) For example, I can go to the store and overhear someone talking and I'll make fun of the way they, say, sound like a valley girl. I have been so good though about it. Now, instead, I'll say "Oh I like her jacket."

Good for you, freshmama! I've stuck to my "no sodas or sweet teas." Water, milk, juice, coffee, and spirits...that's all. ;)

Nope, not yet. I haven't broken one of them. I started my resolution on New Years eve and so far so good. I haven't taken the vacation that I wanted, which I expect will be by the summer anyway. But as for the other, (stop helping others that don't appreciate my free help, even though they are the only ones benifiting from it) then I'm doing great! :)

I put other people first alot last year, sometimes to my own detriment. This year, I need to work on self-care, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial etc. If I am personally not in good shape in those areas, I won't have enough to give to others the way I really want to anyway. Hit yoga this am at 8:00, so far, so good! Happy New Year! :)

Well uh... how about... I haven't *started* on my resolution? Mine was to work on being more open to connecting with other people. I always feel like I come off cold or avoid make a connection, etc. My resolution is to work on that and to be honest I haven't really started... but, I have all year to get there =) Really, I think we should stop looking at it like "Oh, well I already fell off the wagon, so I might as well do whatever" the whole point of willpower and setting goals is that you fall off and get back on, or, in my case... eventually work up the courage to start :P

Lol, all resolutions are good for is pretending you'll do something, then making an excuse as to why you don't feel like it. It's still fun though ;).
