Now personally, I have never ever stuck to any resolution made. I kinda gave up on making resolutions. But after a shitty 2009 with more downs than ups, I figured maybe I could at least make some for 2010 and look at them as goals rather than resolutions. So here goes:
1. To play a sport - I'm thinking of joining either a soccer team or a cricket team. If neither of these work out, I'm willing to try touch footy or even OzTag. I'll learn!
2. To expand my social circle - I love my friends. But all my friends barring one are psychologists. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have other friends too. So I intend on going on more Meetups and meeting new people
3. To work harder and set new career goals - I start a new job in February. I hope by mid-year to get an understanding of where I am going and to see if I can start a bit of private work by the end of the year, finances being okay that is.
4. To have a new hobby - This could involve being with other people (in the Meetup groups) or something on my own that's also cost-effective. Maybe buying a bicycle and riding around. Or going to the beach more often.
5. To lose weight - I have this one every year. It'll be a continuation of my weight-watching.
So that's it. I guess though, the best thing I am hoping and praying for is a better 2010 on the whole compared to what this year has been.
What about the rest of you?

It sounds like we've had similar 2009s ... and responded by making resolutions we usually wouldn't. I hope it works for both of us.
