My new years resolution is to create a full game. My dream has always been to program video games, and I think this year is a great year to start. I’ve worked on a few projects, but I’ve never finished them, so I want to fully finish creating a game this year.

One of my new years resolutions is to start working out with my family and friends. I feel it would bring us all closer together. I want to start working out because i want to build a stronger body and muscle.

I’ve been working on my pickle ball skills for quite some time now and have been impressing my fellow pickle ball players. For my New Years Resolution, I’d like to compete and place in a pickle ball tournament this year. Specifically, I’d like to win with my father who is in his fifties but is still a goat at pickle ball. Doing this would prove to my doubting mother that no matter how old you are, you’re capable of doing anything. Wish me luck and happy New Years!

Last Year one my New Year’s Resolutions was Meditation. I started doing some meditating around the end of the year. I kind of developed my own exercise. I listen to my inner voice and listen to what it says. As I do this more, the more I am connected with my spirit. It also helps with my stress levels and anxiety. I’ve been feeling calmer and more understanding with myself now.

Last year one of my New Years resolutions was to eat more fruit, so I began to incorporate more smoothies into my diet. Now I drink a smoothie almost every day now!

Last year my New Year’s resolution was to get into more cake decorating and enhance my skills in it. Learning new piping skills became one of my favorite things to do and while many people say it’s too difficult (because baking is like a science). I find it to be really enjoyable and calming. Now, cake decorating and baking breads are one of my favorite things to do and I always feel so accomplished once it’s done.

Last year one of my New Year’s resolutions was to read a book every month of the year and I’m so happy that I stuck to it because I got to read a lot of different genres. My favorite month was July when I read “Red, White, & Royal Blue”.
