Post Your 2017 New Year's Resolutions Thread

I have mixed feelings about New Year's Resolutions, as normally I am just in a bad place and desperately want change, but for once this year I feel like I am doing ok, and am happy about the way my life is going.
I think this might be the year I actually stick to one or two of them, and in any case being mindful about what we want to change in ourselves can never be a bad thing. Here are a few of mine:
Stop getting drunk - I'm not sure I want to quit drinking entirely as I do really enjoy beer, and am not convinced that I'm an "alcoholic" but I've been drinking far too much lately and want to cut out daily drinking and drinking alone.
Proper diet - I've always wanted to maintain a healthy diet where I am not eating excess refined sugar, and making sure I am getting a good balance of macro and micro nutrients. I know the basics but this is something I really want to work on.
Ask more questions - I wouldn't say I'm especially shy, as I don't really get extreme social anxiety, but I tend not to get close to people who don't take the initiative with me in conversation. One thing I've been aware of lately is that even when I get the opportunity to converse with someone I have an interest in, I tend not to ask them many questions about their life and interests. This is partly because I am rather self-involved, and partly because I am hesitant to pry into other people's business. I don't really see anything wrong with this but it is something I would like to work on because I think it keeps me from getting to know people who are not very outgoing.
What are ya'll's resolutions? (see it's working already )

I think not drinking alone is a good goal to have. If you've been drinking a lot this year, not drinking when you're by yourself will cut a lot out.
My resolution is to be able to run 2 miles in 12 minutes and 30 seconds by the end of next year.

My main resolution is to stop using smokeless tobacco. I had a cancer scare the other day, turned out to be nothing but scary none the less.

I have none. My life is exhilarating and full of zest. I wouldnt change a thing.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

I don't do those. If there are things I want to change in my life, tying them in with New Years probably makes it less likely to stick with them if anything. "Oh I was supposed to stick with this the whole year, guess that didn't work out."
That said, I have been trying off and on recently to get in a bit better shape, and I want to get back into that. My stamina is kinda shit compared to a few years ago and I've got a bit of a gut going on.

Yeah I feel about it like I feel about Christmas: it's not a meme I would make but might as well make the best of it just interested in changes people want to make I never really say "Jan 1st this change is going to happen"

Mine is going to be to put up with less bullshit - spend less time on things that aren't productive or hold me back from being productive.

I quite enjoy drinking alone...I have 1 - 2 G&Ts most nights, but I couldn't regulate any other type of alcohol, like if it was wine I'd down the whole bottle then probably go to the shop and get some more. It tends to be the more sugary types of booze that I can't regulate.
I don't really believe in NY resolutions tbh. There's no time like the present, but if I had to say anything it will be to practice gratitude for every last tiny little thing in my life, and to focus on what I've got rather than what I haven't got. A few health issues of my own and then learning about the deaths of several Shroomery members recently has really shaken me up and given me a new perspective on life recently.

eat more droogz.
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I don't make new years resolutions, just like I never say I will abstain from drugs completely, I find I will be negative on myself if I don't maintain my resolutions, so it's easier to always work towards bettering myself, and realize if I screw up it's not the end of the world.

Jesus everyone is such a hipster buzzkill these days. Just make a resolution and fuck it up like the rest of us. It's a tradition 
"Ooh it makes me cry when I make a resolution and I can't follow though" Great, join the club. People never change but we can dream and dreams never die.
