What are yours in 2026?

Lots of potential resolutions, nothing too exciting, but I’ll see which ones I manage to make into concrete, measurable goals and actually stick to…

- sending people birthday wishes
- reading more books and watching more movies
- cooking more new recipes
- making a dent in my arts and crafts supplies
- volunteering more

This is unsolicited so I totally understand if it isn’t a good fit for you. It was wonderful for me so I thought I’d share just in case.

A couple years ago I set myself the challenge to try a new food, recipe, or cooking method every two weeks. It took the pressure off of doing something daily or weekly but still gave me more structure than monthly or just a vague goal “for the new year.” And by including a new food it also took the pressure off finding new recipes, finding the energy to make them, plus the cost of them. I really loved doing it and still regularly make myself try new things.

Thank you, that’s a good suggestion. Two weeks is a good section of time and I like the idea of just trying more foods or techniques, however it happens.

Stop wasting money

Reduce the sugar I eat/drink

To make quality of life improvements, wherever I can find them. More time spent outside. Using the "special" things (candles, wine, chocolate, clothes). Adding the extras that I've always wanted but always thought was not meant for me, a peon (example: I bought actual cinnamon sticks instead of the regular stuff. So decadent!). Getting massages. I may do a weekend "staycation" at a local hotel that has big soaking tubs since I, at 5'10", haven't fit into a bathtub in my entire adult life. The world is trying to make me miserable, and I won't let it.

Stand up for myself more, find more confidence in myself, not let myself get walked over, just generally give myself at least a bit of the support I try to give others.

Those are really great goals. I had some similar a few years ago, along with "get comfortable saying No to people" and "get more comfortable hearing No from people" and I think I've come a long way since then, so if you are ever in doubt I say it is doable!

Read 12 books (at least), lose 30 pounds, actively use my media and resolutions journals, get to 30 minutes a day on my exercise bike, complete my two crochet kits, and finish at least three needlefelting projects (my new hobby in 2026).

... don't kill myself?

(Seriously, I have no goddamn idea when I'm having problems keeping up with mundane tasks.)

Punish my bully
Cut off a few roosters

None, because resolutions rarely work out

Do you mean yours or do you assume everyone fails at them?

I quibble on the term because goals is less pressure to me and works for my brain for some reason.

But I have a yearly reading goal, I usually try and add some each year but this year I'm keeping it at 25 books.

Backpack more! I had a lot of health issues this past year that kept me from the trails and I don't want to let that get me out of the habit. The health stuff is mostly straightened out so I want to get back out there this coming year.

Lose weight. I got health insurance starting in January and I am going to make an appointment with a nutritionist and then hoping to make an appointment with a personal trainer and get serious about building muscle and losing this depression weight (my mom died two years ago and I've just put on a lot of lbs since then).

I’m focusing on time management. I need better life/work balance.

Make a different pot of soup every week. (I love soup. Why not have an enjoyable resolution?)

Shop online less. I have enough to wear.

Stop buying top-ups on my phone games.

So all of them save money, lol.
