Some familiar faces express how they plan to improve their lives in 2014
“I resolve to get cracking on my 2013 resolutions. As soon as I remember what those were.”
“This year my New Year’s resolution is to commit to exercising at least twice a week for 30 minutes or more. In 2013 I did a Pilates class for an hour and I managed to stick to it. This year I want to add in one other day doing some kind of exercise. I just hate sweating and find it so hard to get myself motivated to do a workout, but I always feel better after I do it. And as I get older I know it is more important to stay fit, flexible and strong. Now that I have actually told everyone, I hope it will make me more accountable.”
“Instead of the usual ‘Lose Weight’ or ‘Clear up the Clutter,’ my personal resolution will be one of accepting myself just as I am. Often we afford complete strangers a level of kindness and acceptance that we just don’t consider for ourselves. I can’t help but think taking that pressure off will somehow lead to a whole other level of happiness and, in turn, have some sort of trickle-down effect.”
“My resolution is to appreciate my wife even more than I do now. She is the glue that keeps our family together: an amazing mom, incredible wife and the best organizer in the world.”
“Reduce stress, period. My goal for 2014 is to finally learn and practice the fine art of ‘working smart.’ It’s not in my nature, but I plan to try very hard. (Irony) Throw in a few more yoga classes, some meditation and I should be able to stave off a myriad of ills. Wish me luck. I wish you a very Happy New Year!”
“I don’t do resolutions. I prefer to call them mission statements and I usually form them on my birthday, which is the start of the year for me. This year my mission is to be more chill . . . take time off to have brunches and lunches with friends rather than jetting off somewhere. Not that I won’t still travel, but to take me-time.”
“My New Year’s resolution for 2014 includes the typical ones… exercise more and spend less. But most importantly, I would like to get outside more often! I want to make time to hike, bike and play street hockey with my son!”
“I’ll continue to buy local and to champion our style and design communities; to maintain my green breakfast smoothie obsession; to eat way more salted dark chocolate; and I promise to put a complete ban on myself from watching Sons of Anarchy right before I go to bed.”
