New Year resolutions are bullshit. If you were really committed to changing things, you'd just start now.

True.

But if you're not really committed, they can potentially act as a prompt to move you from the pre-contemplation phase into contemplation if you believe in a transtheoretical model of change, so they're not always totally without use. Just 99% of the time.

No resolutions for me. I do what I must, because I can.

For the good of all of us ... Except the ones who are dead.

That's mainly why my resolutions aren't serious. They're more "things I want to do next year" that will be easier to start after the holidays.

I agree for the most part. But I think it can work as reaffirming things you are already doing. I also have been someone who does things when I'm ready to and not a moment sooner, so picking a time can actually work for me.

There's no harm in a ritual if it leads to self-improvement.

And, by the same token, Christmas presents are bullshit. If you really want to give someone a present, you should do so at any time.

"What, no Christmas present?"
"Well, I gave you a gold bracelet last August because I love you."

I agree withe the giving gifts.. but still.. the children expect toys or any gift..

I love giving Xmas gifts to my wife, kids and grand-daughter. As for New Year's resolutions. None. I quit smoking years ago and I eat and drink pretty much anything I like so no worries there. I am already fit and intend on staying that way.

I love that people automatically jump to diet and exercise when it comes to resolutions. There are so many other things you can do!

Hey, drinking more beer is one of the resolutions I mentioned in my original post.

 

[SeerSGB]

To crush my enemies.
To see them driven before me.
And to hear to the lamentations of the women.

I shall make you the head of public relations in my new glorious empire
