Hello everyone and happy new year,

I feel kind of doomy today, but I thought I'd open the cafe with a traditional new year's question:

What positive goals do you have for 2026?

Mine is:

Lose 6 kg in weight
Take up tai chi
Start meditating again
Finish the porches on the house
Finish the hall
Finish the landing
Finish another 2 bedrooms
Do the gutters on the house
Start the garden

Happy New Year everybody!

Happy new year @Inastorm.

I haven't really set any specific goals. Try to run a 10k under an hour again, maybe. Tackle the 2 monster hills again, run 10 miles again.

2025 was so unrelentingly awful I'd just settle for a quiet year without too much stress or anxiety.

Good luck with all your house stuff and goals! I just hope to avoid any major disasters 😹

Thank you for opening and the tag @Inastorm
Happy New Year!

What positive goals do you have for 2026?

This is a difficult one. i haven't thought ahead like that yet.
i guess one i would have it to be able to sell my impkins and other creatures and also maybe to get back into puppeteering.

Thanks for the tag @Inastorm 2025 was a so so year not great but not bad either. In 2026 I have to
1. Lose weight and get more exercise
2. Learn how to be retired or get a job
3. Change my diet to avoid getting more medication

I don’t have specific goals so anything is good. But I need to do #2 because it affects the other two. I eat when I’m bored and not so good things.

 

[Atreides]

Happy New Year! Maybe this year will be better than the last!

 

[cev77]

Happy New Year! I really just want to try to be more organized. Also not let trash and recycling pile up in my room, take them out quicker.

 

[Butterfly]

I just want me, my family and friends to be happy and healthy.

Thanks @Inastorm ! I don't usually do resolutions, but more rest and sleep is a definite goal. I'm getting too old and tired to work all year long! 😂

Tysm for posting this cafe Inastorm, and also for tagging me.

Wishing you, and everyone else, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳🎊🎉

Those are great goals you have there too. Enjoyed reading everyone’s goals for this new year, all excellent for sure.

My positive goals for the year are:

- Lose at least 50 or more pounds
- Exercise more
- Eat healthier (especially more veggies/salads)
- Being less hard on myself
- Caring a lot less about what others think of me
- Worrying less about things beyond my control, relaxing/staying calm about things more.

Wishing everyone the best of luck with their goals!

No real resolutions, or goals. I mainly just plod along and always have. I do hope that all here, every one of us has better events and things coming our way, a bit of luck, success and peace and contentment.

 

[Fbr27]

Lose some 4 kgs (?)
Try therapy

Wishing you and others good luck with the losing weight. I admit I could stand to lose a few teddy bear tummy pounds, but I believe they make me cuddly.

It would be nice to lose 6 kg for me, because I have gained 6 lbs (not quite 3 kilograms) in the last month. I keep seeing my profile in the mirror and I think I look like 15 lbs heavier. Losing 6kg would mean 13 lbs. since I am at 85 kg now that would get me under 80, which is a good weight for me.

But more importantly my top goals are:

1. Get a job.
2. Get a job.
3. Get a job.
4. Get a job.
5. Get a job.

My main resolution for this year, which I've started in the beginning of December, is to read books. I made a list of specifically English literature and I intend to read about 2 books per month. That is very ambitious considering last time it took me years to finish one, but I am motivated.
