When they succeed ( looking back on the previous year ) they become a self reward. When they fail ….(you notice I said they – ??!! not we !!!)…. fail, we vow never to make any more because they become a negative influence. Isn’t this how we “cope”? If we fail – blame it on the weather, or anything. The negativity flees away. The we find another focus and , hopefully, achieve.
In my case its the same old problem, simply to get started with things I might not actually like. So we join a membership and that helps, if only to moan at someone else. Self starters are good. Slogans and rituals help to keep that focus.
But then we might have a ” slip” or ” trip” and the old self returns. And in that second the negativity has a bite. Sometimes we cannot get restarted. And so goes the mantra ” Well I only set achievable goals. Or perhaps you mean ” I will only do this until I fail and gladly give up”.
I have just faced my biggest challenge of the year. To be honest with myself. To look at myself and say ” What do I need to be better?” I will work harder at….. ( sorry , this is my resolution …. !!) …..and I will not give up even when the progress seems slow.
The INTENTION can remain … you may even be forced to postpone the action but you can return.
So maybe New Year intentions? This play on words is fun. However, I wonder how you enthuse yourself to overcome those areas you might wish to address? Sometimes it will need others to achieve it, so get talking. Remember it is about you and your attempt to be BETTER.
Please feel free to discuss this – among yourselves. And do please treat it with GOOD INTENTIONS, HOPE and ACTION. You have a lifetime at your disposal.
Try this one ‘ We Are Family”.

Dear Anya ,
I was never one to lay down good intentions for myself for the New Year.
As I don’t drink or smoke , the only health intention for myself is to maybe eat a little
bit more healthier (It would be good to lose a couple of pounds to be honest… ).Now as for the intentions I have that matter to me most.
Since Sylvia came to the surface more and more these past months ,
I found a side from myself that has been hidden for far too long.
A caring side , a side that wants to give support
( and hopefully some well meant advice , in all humility ) to my fellow Sisters here on
this wonderful site that found me only recently.That is my main intention for not only 2022 but for many years to come , God willing.
CDH has become my second Home , I could never have imagined just a short while ago.
The frase “We Are Family” resonates with me more than you could know.
Lets continue to be here for one another in these trying times.
Together we can achieve this Haven to become even better than it already is today.
Together we can do anything !And , as along the way , we perhaps catch a few glimpses of our true selves ,
then our journey together will become even more rewarding than it already is.Love Sylvia.
Hi Anya, like others I am not one for Resolutions. My younger self did set one to give up dressing, how stupid!
Again, like many I want to be a better person but that also raises an issue – being overly critical of myself, thinking on the negative where actually I should be positive. I could get myself tied up in knots if I’m not careful.
So, my intention is:
Look for positives in all I do. This should make me a happier person. Being happy will make me more kind to others. A positive cycle, great.
I have issues with anxiety and depression ( I’m sure I’m not alone on this site!). I find my main defence to this is attack. The positives are my ammunition. I am not saying it is easy – it is f-difficult, a living battle. If I can be more positive I can be a better person.
Love Jane X.

Hi Anya,
Add another girl to the no New Years resolution column.
I decided long ago that it was better for me to try to be more positive, and to try to improve whenever I find there is a need to. Sometimes this need is shown through the wisdom of another.
I have also found that thinking of things to be thankful for in my life (and there are so many in this world) really helps to improve my attitude when that is needed.Love, and hugs,
Lara
