I just enrolled back into school, to carry my associates degree further and to earn my bachelor's degree. I think that I know my limitations, and I plan to push through and complete this. My children are watching me.

Getting back into doing virtual distance medals after an injury in September benched me. Shoulder's still messed up so I can't swim like I want to but I'm walking 3 times a week. First I'ma finish the solar system medals and then doing a Hawaiian one with a friend of mine.

Spend more time playing toys with my daughter. I know she loves playing toys and one day she won't it's hard playing toys but I try but I want to make it a goal to play more with her toys and bond in that way as well as our other ways. When I was young all I wanted was my grandparents or parents to play toys with me now I get as an adult it's hard to have that imagination but it will be found this year.

I'm going to say self-care, placing myself first will let others know that I'm serious about living my best life. Self care for me, means saying no when that's what I feel at the moment, eating organically vegan, exercising several times a week and walking everyday . Also giving myself two hours each day to put the devices down and either cook or just be with myself.

As I get older, I realize more and more each day just how important it is to take care of yourself. I am in my early 40's and already having hip and back issues that is starting to affect my ability to enjoy life. My new years resolution is to improve my physical health and to loose weight. I won't make the same mistake as before and set an unrealistic goal of going to the gym every day... because let's face it... every year I set that as my resolution, I set myself up for failure before I even started.

To consistently pay down my huge debt this year, so I do not have to stress about the future and continue to enjoy life and make a difference in someone else's day - everyday!

Forgive myself for my past mistakes. Guilt & a feeling of stupidity (for my past mistakes) affects how I take care of myself. My mistakes were unintentional. My children will be happier if I am happier and healthier. I need to let the past go.

For my New Year's resolution, I plan on enlarging my circle of people that truly care about me. Over the years, I closed that circle. I've realized that there are many friends, family, and even neighbors that actually care about my well-being. Not understanding their true motive, it was real easy to close that circle. Over time they disappeared. Loneliness is no way to live a life. We all need others. I'll stick to it for 2022 and beyond! Semper Fi.

This is difficult question to answer. As we are all aware this silent but deadly thing is traveling around the whole world. I personally have changed my new years resoultion to not get covid and stay as healthy as possible. Which means eat right exercise and do A LOT of praying and hoping that I and my familt and friends won't get Covid

I would love to get back to being physically active. Over the past couple of years, U have it found it extremely difficult to go back to a gym or be consistent with home work outs. I always feel so much better when I'm active. If I could magically find a workout resource, the motivation, and someone to hold me accountable -I would be forever grateful. I enjoy boxing but the health concerns with Omicron and COVID in general keep me stuck feeling safer in my home. I need the exercise -I just can't reconcile jeopardizing my life to make my general health better. Please help -I'm stuck.

Not to make any New Year resolutions; I have kept that resolution religiously for some 30 years.

Being there more for my family. Had some scares late last year with my father having Covid pneumonia and my mom also spending some time in the hospital. Then with my wife being supportive, just took a lot out of us. But I just want to show her and them how much I appreciate all of them and make the best of the time we have left together. Making a lot more phone calls definitely.

My magical new years resolution would be to have more patience with people, and especially people whom frustrate me.

I read a post on FACEBOOK, left by a fellow Combat Veteran I served in Iraq with. It said, "The only time we see each other is for the One or Two Funerals each year...". I Guess that would be it, if I were to uphold a New Years Resolution, it would be to get together with my Brothers more often. To show them I'm available, and accessable... So we're not joining back up together for another Funeral...

I would run everyday like when I used to when I wanted to be special forces or a Drill Instructor. If I was still in the Marines I would have loved being a Drill Instructor.

I would actually start running every day like I used to when I thought I wanted to be part of special forces or a drill instructor. If I was still in the Marines I would have loved being a Drill Instructor.

My New Years Resolution would be to visit 1 new country and 3-4 new American states every year. A resolution like this would require planning and would be fun to do as travel is fun to do.

I'm going to try to not eat out as much and save money by cooking at home. It's tough because I drive 1 hour each way for work and work 9 hour days.

When I was in the service not only was I in good shape, I really liked myself and the path I was on. Now as an older, retired disabled vet I’m not only in horrible shape… I don’t like myself very much. If I could make one New Years Resolution that I could keep it would be to not only get in shape I would lose weight as well. I would love to like myself again.
