site event New Year, New Resolution!

[Twilight Sparkle 401]

Hello, everypony! 

I hope that everyone's been having a wonderful January, so far!

As we welcome the New Year, that means that the time has comes for some New Year's Resolutions! 

It's always so much fun to create a number of goals that we wish to achieve.

Some of them might be a bit more difficult than others, so not all of them may be possible to complete this year. 

Which means that they can still be worked on to be accomplished next time!

I even have a few goals I wish to achieve this year! Those being:

- Read more books

- Work on my time management

- Aim to be a better friend

- Have better confidence as a leader

Whether it's one goal or more, it always feels rewarding to accomplish something you put your mind towards. 

Which is why for the rest of the month, I want to challenge anypony that's reading this!

Do you have a New Year's Resolution list that you wish to accomplish? 

Were there any goals that you hadn't achieved last time that you wish to try to this year?

If you do, you can post them here and you will receive a badge! 

I look forward to seeing all of your resolutions, and I hope that you will be able to accomplish them!

Here's to an amazing January, everypony! 

[Snoopy Fan 687]

My New Year’s resolution is hopefully find a new job, my current job is kind of stressful. I know that every job is going to be a bit stressful, but I think I need a change.

goal last year

-lose the belly 

-werk more

just like the goal this year  except I feel a bit more confident about the werk.

ooh! also learn to drive! Maybe I can actually achieve that one.

Ask how my friends are doing more often. 

[Livealarm 508]

My new year's resolutions are:

• Write at least 30 stories/fimfictions,

Spoiler

By the way, the first one is done. Go here to read it: https://mlpforums.com/blogs/entry/27260-the-bad-beginning-part-1/

• participate in an art contest, 

• learn how to bake pie, 

• learn to code? 

[Clawdeen 14,893]

I've got a looooot lol.

Get back to driving and doing more things outside the house. As an add on it would be cool to even meet some new friends to hang out with.

Read at least one book a month. 

Doing Kundalini Yoga almost everyday. Everyday is an unrealistic goal, but as often a possible is good. 

Write and finish my own solo publication. Not that I don't like hopping in on anthologies/group projects and will continue to do so. It's just time I fly solo and build a name for myself. Holding a book in my hands I took part in is cool. But holding my very own in my hands would be even cooler.

Get the GI issues taken care of, for real. If that means visiting the GI doctor weekly till they take me seriously than so be it.

I am currently self teaching myself to make patchwork stuffed animals. If I could successfully make some cool stuffed animals that would be great. I promised to make a friend one if I can successfully do it.

Finding a better job. Remote would be great. 

Lastly my 72 paintings project will get finished. I've only got nine left. I've been slacking at finishing them but it will happen this year. 

[Deae Rising Shine~ 55,766]

not much really, survive and trying too eat healthier again/losing weight.

[Ganondorf8 11,322]

My usual New Year resolution is to lose weight, but then this is something a lot of people pledge to do. A more unique resolution for me would be to get a fourth cosplay though this is going to be a lot harder than in previous years because of 'circumstances'.

Sorry, doubleposting.

Oh, that's a cool topic, @Twilight Sparkle! Thanks ^•^

And you have some nice goals, ponies ^•^

I have some stuff in my list too!

- In this year I want to setup a cozy living room with a comfy armchair, a vinyl turntable, a fireplace, and a giant 3 meter book shelf so you need a ladder to reach upper levels LOL.  There I could relax and have a quality digital detox time.

- In addition, I want to travel to Europe with my darling this year.

- Also I want to master some traditional art technique like inking and draw more in general.

- And I have one secret project in mind. Challenging and related to personal and professional growth. But I think I can do it for several months, devoting my free time to it  

Good luck in achieving your resolutions, ponies!

I all ready posted my New Years Resolution on a status update, but I'll be glad to sum it up again here. 

• Finish an old model kit I started so I can begin working on a Gundam model kit I have on standby.
• Watch the final season of Sonic Boom.
• Watch the live action One Piece show.

I also have a couple of bonus resolutions, in case I finish the main ones rather quickly.

• Watch the 2nd season of My Adventures With Superman.
• Try to get a new job.

No big deal if I only manage to do one of the bonus resolution points or none at all. The main three are the ones I am focused on.

shucks maybe ah am  

 last year I was a bit lazy - I turned it around towards the end, but I need to pick up the pace if I'm not to get the bosses mad at meh

[Isac pp13 14]

My new year resolution is make more friends,watch more cartoons,study more and learn to play guitar

[SharpWit 2,682]

Stop regularly having late nights and get more sleep. I've done pretty well this week, going to bed before 11PM.

Last night was a little more difficult because I had something I wanted to figure out and I've got an idea for it but need to find some more answers before I can proceed, and it might be another 2 weeks until I have them. Nothing serious, but it was keeping me up.

[Lucky Fire]

my new year's resolutions are to also become more confident as a leader and be a better friend.

OOC: same here on the leadership, but in like, a group setting type way. i've become more leader than follower. i never thought myself as more than just a follower, but in recent times, i've shown a little leadership. and still same on being a better friend. another one is to find a job that suits me. i'm autistic and get overwhelmed way too easily. this next one isn't really a resolution, but i'm hoping to do well in this upcoming musical that i'm in. i'm the Narrator and i also will be in a few of the dance numbers/songs and stuff. i even have a sort of solo, too. i just hope that i know my cues and can keep up... this is my first musical, so i'm extremely nervous. and as always, i'm trying to lose weight and trying to get my teeth fixed... a never ending task, it feels like...

[Astralshy 26,997]

as for mine

- be more open and trust people more

- make more sport

- try things which I haven tried in my life so far

- go to more pony cons

I've never been to any pony cons, though it's cool that some people do go to them.

I don't really have a new years resolution, it never occurred to me that I needed one, not saying I'm flawless, no one is, though, I suppose it isn't too late to create one, as it's still January. Caring less about what others may think of me for liking MLP FIM or any of its episodes? I would have thought this would be an unwritten rule regardless of whether it's new year or not, everyone has their opinions. I've even gotten a few officially licensed MLP posters coming, got a few t shirts too.

[Tao 7,867]

Hmmmm Goals this year:

• Read 100 books
• Write More

I wish you success. (Though if you ever figure out the secret to it, remember Apple Jack sayz it's important to share.) 

[Emerald Heart 24,938]

I want to get back into some of my old hobbies and also get a job. 

[Snow 7,126]

I think the big ones for this and any year are:

Progress to my pilots licence (haven't done a lesson since Covid kicked off in 2019, its high time I got back into it and 2025 may very well be the year)

Start Guitar lessons, I gotta face the music with this one  I hardly pick the darn thing up on my own time so dedicated lesson will be much more productive.

Draw more and improve mu pony art.

[MangoFoalix 25,022]

To be honest, completely get off social media which I've already done to block out the culture of people being incredibly aggressive and hating anyone possible.

Also to be much nicer of a person, stop having any form of hatred in my mind because it does no good for me. Be a lot more kind to people in general and get some mental health help with therapy.
