Does anyone set New Year Resolutions anymore or do you set a intentional word for the year?

This past year I didn’t do a resolution and I unintentionally committed to the word Boundaries for my own peace & although uncomfortable at times setting boundaries have made a difference. For 2023 I think my word needs to be Consistent 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

I don't have any new year resolutions. Someone is usually bluffing when they say they have one. I just do my best every year and make sure that I don't make decisions that I will regret when the year ends.

I hadn't really thought about it like that, but I suppose I'd fall into the intentional word category. Last year, my goal was less. Basically, I want to simplify my life. Get rid of things that don't serve me or add value and just live a more peaceful existence. I wouldn't say I've fully achieved this, but I've made some progress. Might have to double down in 2023.

I definitely make a list of financial, professional, and health goals. They’re usually achievable but I use the list to remind myself what my priorities are. Of course it can change. This year, I’m adding the phrase “Trust yourself” after reading a book that recommended trusting yourself to do what you envision doing.

Anyone feel as if it’s hard to stay with a company when you’re the only one of color? (&young) I’ve work for 3 companies in past 5 years and have yet to make meaningful colleague relationships. I just do not relate to the conversation and just find it hard to picture myself being a long-term employee. I’ve had better relationships when working at wal-mart when I was in college. I feel it takes away some of the joy of having to go to work.
