I, personally, like to take the opportunity to express aspirations: not just trying to stop doing things I feel are harmful, but also to try new things or practice positive things more. A couple from me:
- Avoid sarcasm when dealing with people, especially strangers, it does not go over well when they don’t get the joke
- Do something positive, helpful, and non-criminal to counter the right wing political trend. (granted, this one needs more detail)
How about you?
New Years Resolutions are a complete and total waste of time and energy. If you want to improve an aspect of you life, just do it. An arbitrary date on a calendar isn’t going to make that more or less likely to succeed.
It is going to make you more likely to consider resolutions though.
