What is your 2025 New Year's resolution?

[fromisEJel]

Personally for me:


1) Get to 10% bodyfat. I have not been exercising much these couple of months while not eating clean so I am hovering around 20% Bodyfat right now. Therefore, one of my goal is to get back into good shape.


2) Walk/run 5000KM. Will be tough but still possible

3) Save up a certain amount of money

4) Watch 100 dramas

5) Watch 100 animes

1. Reduce my sugar intake. It was better this year, but I want to get into single digits in 2025.
2. Back stretches everyday. I have very poor joint health and some weight exercises help a lot, so I want to do them more often.
3. Eat a greener diet. I eat balanced meals now, but my gut health has been backsliding, so I really need to reduce my meat.
4. Write a 100k word story. I really want to make something good this year, so I want to get better at story writing.

I actually exceeded my resolution for last year, so I have a good amount of faith in myself.

I am looking forward to your 100k word story!

1. Exercise more, preferably 2-3 times a week.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables. And just healthier in general.

Not super original, I know, but it’s a classic for a reason, I guess

 

[Seriously]

• Stick to a better sleep schedule.
• Make more time for friends and family.
• And it might sound odd, but give less of a shit about work. I get dragged into people's crap and drama all the damn time. 2025, I'm turning up, doing my job, jumping out.

Nah, it do not sound odd at all. I also need to give less shift about work. Earlier this year I was trying to warn my colleagues not to close our workplace too early as our boss was looking into the matter, but one of them (the aunty who always close extra early) accuse me of snitching to my boss, because my boss and I are considered to be as close as real brother. Something being too nice do not pay off at all.

Yup, it's just not worth it. Turn up, do what you're paid to do, leave.

So this is the New Year
And I have no resolutions
Or self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

 

[tokki]

spend less money

I need to save up for a new computer + a bunch of other things but I've been horrible about spending money this year

 

[Stannie]

Gain 10 lbs at a minimum. I've been losing weight for no reason this year no matter how much ive tried to follow all these weight gaining tips Think i might have to do the type of workout that helps build muscle mass. I usually do cardio but my current situation makes me stop as i cant afford to lose more weight. I'll die if this continues agdhsjk

 

[Beefy]

1- Read 50 books (starting out small) and have less screentime.

2- Start meditating and doing yoga. I was extremely stressed out this year and think it would be a better reliever than what I’ve been doing

4. Write a 100k word story. I really want to make something good this year, so I want to get better at story writing.

This is something I want to do this year - well not the 100k word story but maybe try participating in NaNoWriMo
I used to write little bits and bobs for fun but I think I stopped before lockdown?
I can really tell how my writing skills and generally language skills have been declining bc of all the brainrot we see nowadays, so I want to pick it back up.

These are mine too. I've been awful at neglecting my friends and family - both irl and online. I thought deleting my social media would help because I would make more the effort to go out my way to interacting with them through other means (that isn't just liking a post or something), but I felt like it's done the opposite. I feel more distant as ever, especially with my online friends.


With work, I'm doing more than what's expected and took on more than what I thought I could handle. Had a couple of breakdowns earlier this year but all is well now. I know it's way above my paygrade and I am willing to do more than my other colleagues, but sometimes my mind can't rest when I feel like I'm doing nothing.

1- Read 50 books (starting out small) and have less screentime.

I would love to hear some book recommendations from you.
I epically failed with my reading challenge this year (and it was only 5 books) - I legit just finished my final book a couple of hours ago. When I say pathetic...

I have many resolutions it seems... but I think one which I want to achieve for 2025 is to overcome my fear of driving and/or riding a bike. I'm okay on the bike, but I get absolutely terrified at the thought of having to be on the road if there are no bike lanes available or I can't use the pavement. I want to at least be able to bike to work.

exercise more and eat healthier

My issue is I'm naturally a huge introvert. When I was younger, that was never an issue, because more outgoing friends would come and drag me out my cave. Now we're older and people have more going on, I'm really gunna have to start making more of a conscious effort to hang out.

100% in a similar place, but also socially giving colleagues too much energy. I'm not PAID to interact with folks i don't much like.

The issue is, once people see you that way. They'll shit on your willingness to go above and beyond, by piling more on.

Do your job, JUST your job, and leave.

Same honestly! I was never particularly good at writing but I've been able to write some full chapters from a fanfiction I started years ago. So I really want to get there and improve!

I'm excited to see you write! Don't be shy to share

See, I thought i was doing fine with reading this year until I looked back and realized how much i was re-reading my favorites. I read one book like 8 times this year I got into 3 new series, so my book count wasn't too bad. This year I am going to try to read more fresh books (but still re-read )

Yeah I'm the same, and since I've moved away, none of my friends will make the effort to come visit me due to our lives and the "inconvenience" - so when we're organising something together, it makes more sense for me to go up to them, which is like, at most 2-3 times a year. Hence why I also need to make more of an effort with my online friends because I really struggle to make new friends now.

Yeah... unfortunately they took advantage of me. I would still say they are, but I am more confident at speaking out when I want to do something or not. I am learning to leave the work at the workplace now, so that's something...

Same here, I would never rate myself as a good writer but it's just fun when you really get into it. Even when writing a small piece or two, I could already see improvements in my writing. I've never doing any original work though, mine was sorta fanfiction? Well, like inserting your own character in an established AU like Harry Potter or something, lol

I try so hard not to re-read my favourites these days; I only used to do it to make my book count look good
I think what I find difficult with reading now, is that I can't delve into it as much as I used to - I used to get completely lost in them and obsess over it, but now when I read, it takes me weeks or months to finish and once I finish it, I don't think about it again.

This was my situation back in 2023. I was working 50 hours a week (more or less) at a job that was making me do work WAY above my pay grade, didn’t appreciate me or treat me well, didn’t pay me well (I found out when I left I was being paid significantly less then the other managers, hence why I probably worked the most), and I was working so much I was barely sleeping or taking care of my health and legit thought if I kept my life that way I was going to drop dead.

End of 2023 I finally had my final mental breakdown and quit. I decided I needed a new career field so I spent 2024 going back to school for a new degree and now I’m starting 2025 looking for a new job.

At my current job I was determined to just do my job and go home and this past year it’s made my life so much better. I don’t tolerate coworker drama. I don’t do stuff outside my work tasks, if something’s messed up it’s not my problem to fix it. As soon as my shift ends I leave and don’t stay later. If i have nothing to do at work I just be grateful that I’m being paid to do nothing. Life is good

I am at least decently paid these days, just need to focus on not taking work crap home with me.

5 is better than none! I wish you luck with it this year, you’ve got it

and I’m a non-fiction historical girlie, if you’re into that I’d be glad to share! I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
