Deep dives
Resolution: Focus on personal health
One of the resolutions for the new year is to prioritize personal health, both physically and mentally. This includes making better choices in terms of drinking alcohol, as well as taking the advice given to friends and applying it to one's own life. Apologizing less and doing more for oneself is also a goal, to avoid excessive feelings of guilt or overapologizing. This overall focus on personal health and well-being aims to create a better balance in life and allow for more self-care.
Resolution: Find direction and purpose
Another resolution for the new year is to find direction and purpose in one's life. This includes figuring out a clear path and working towards specific goals. Taking inspiration from past experiences and learning from them, the focus is on making steps towards a fulfilling and meaningful life. This resolution acknowledges that this process may take time and may involve exploring different avenues, but the aim is to ultimately find a sense of direction and purpose.
Resolution: Complete a challenging puzzle
One unique resolution for the new year is to complete a large and challenging puzzle. The goal is to finish an 18,000-piece puzzle, which covers the entire bottom floor of the person's living space. This resolution highlights the pursuit of leisure activities and the dedication to completing a complex and time-consuming task. It offers a fun and rewarding challenge that requires focus, patience, and attention to detail.
Resolution to prioritize self-sufficiency and homesteading
In 2023, the caller's resolution is to focus on self-sufficiency by becoming a homesteader. Living on a small plot of land, they plan to grow their own food and rely less on grocery stores. Despite facing challenges in the previous year, they are determined to continue their journey towards self-sufficiency and expand their farming and foraging practices.
Resolution to have more fun and enjoy life
The caller's resolution for the upcoming year is to prioritize having more fun and enjoying life. They want to break free from the routine of waiting for the weekend and instead find ways to have memorable experiences during the week. By embracing new activities and adventures, they hope to live a more joyful and fulfilling life.
