New Year is usually a great time to reassess the past year and to create some goals and plans for the coming year’s events. Everyone seems to have a different approach to the practice of New Year’s resolutions.
What do you and other SheSpeaks members want to achieve or change in 2008? If you’ve had some real success with a past years’ resolutions we’d love to hear your inspiring stories.

I'm more likely to break New Year's resolutions that ones that I make on my own on any other day.
I've decided to live in the moment
I am not making any resolutions. I'm just planning on enjoying the new year and hoping for good things to come.
they say its best to make small goals, i read some place you should never say u want to lose weight for a goal, it shouldn't take a holiday to make you want to do that. i guess to each is there own :)
I'll try to live in the moment and not worry as much. Of course eating healthy and getting in exercise. Seems like the same plans I make every year.
I quit Smoking Cold TUrkey with New Years Resolution 2 yrs ago.... Now after That Put on 60 lbs now have make another To Lose Weight. COld Turkey? or Maybe Ham! :)
I basically want to live a happier life. I worry too much and I stress about stupid little things that eat up a lot of time and emotional space. I want to be better to myself and, in turn, better to those around me. The last three months of 2008 could have been REALLY bad ones for me with an almost absurd succession of really bad things (robbed, laid off, etc.) happening back to back, but I managed to keep my sense of humor (I did get really sad sometimes, but I recovered) and perspective on what WASN'T happening. I want to take those lessons into the new year and remember to not freak out over the little things so much (broken electronics, lost keys, minor disagreement, etc.) 2009 will be a good year. That's my resolution.
I plan to eat healthier and go on a diet.
I plan to eat healthier this year and go on a diet.
I always seem to vow to lose weight, quit smoking, be more active,etc. For some reason those vows never quite make it to fruition. One of these days though....I'm gonna get it all done!!
