10 New Year’s Resolutions That Have Nothing to Do with Weight Loss

2021 is here and you know what that means: New Year’s Resolutions. It also means a lot of diet culture being pushed on us from every angle. For a lot of us, it’s uncomfortable and triggering. “New Year: New You” is everywhere you turn.

Table of Contents
1) Be okay with not being included/invited.2) Do things by yourself. 3) Say no and mean it.4) Do something you’ve always dreamed of.5) Go to therapy.6) Evaluate your friendships.7)  Let go of those bad family members too.8) Step out of your fashion comfort zone.9) Take more pictures. 10) Make time for what you’re passionate about. A bonus one: Stop hustling so hard.

While we spoke of going with a New Year’s theme, some of you may want to work with and rock out with a few resolutions… Not everyone is trying to crowd the gym for a month or jump on the latest diet craze. Some of us are just looking to improve internally.

Without the noise of toxic diet culture. If you’re looking for a few solutions, these 10 New Year’s Resolutions may be for you!

In no particular order,

Here are 10 New Year’s Resolutions that have nothing to do with weight loss

1) Be okay with not being included/invited.

In the age of social media, it’s very easy to get a case of FOMO (fear of missing out). How many times have you seen people out and thought to yourself ” Wait..why didn’t they tell me?!”

Sometimes, you may not be welcomed and you end up putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation. Other times, people genuinely might forget to tell you.

At the end of the day, you should learn to be okay with not being included in every aspect of someone’s life. It’s not even personal sometimes.

And even if it is, you now know your position in that person’s life. It’s up to you to act accordingly.

2) Do things by yourself.

Missed out on a movie you wanted to see? Passed up on a great airline deal? You know why? Because you waited for your friends and they bailed last minute.

Think of all the art show openings, concerts, trips etc. you didn’t go to because you were hoping someone would go with you.

Life is way too short to miss out. Take that solo trip. Try that new restaurant. Truth be told, you will find someone to take a picture for you and you’ll create some new memories. Time waits for no one.

Go for it!

3) Say no and mean it.

via GIPHY

It’s tough to say no. So often we say yes and regret it before the person even hangs up the phone. As soon as we press send on a text. You end up trying to find ways to get out of it.

Why bother?

If you know you don’t want to do something say no and stick to it. Will people be upset? Sure! But it’s not worth the energy you’ll spend dreading the task at hand.

To be fair, it also gives the person on the receiving end of the no a chance to figure out other options.

This goes for family, friends, work, and anyone else you feel like saying no to!

Just say no.

4) Do something you’ve always dreamed of.

Always wanted to do stand-up? Want to be a blogger? Start a business? What are you waiting for?

The worst that can happen is that it doesn’t work out how you intended it to. The best thing that can happen is that it goes well and you’ll wonder why you didn’t take the leap.

In the end, at least you tried and that’s the most important thing.

5) Go to therapy.

Trauma is not your fault. However, you are responsible for healing.

The thought of opening up to a complete stranger can be daunting. Having to revisit traumatic situations in your life can be terrifying.

But a therapist can set you on a path that will lead you to a better place. A place where you can learn how to thrive instead of just survive.

You don’t have to be a product of your past.

6) Evaluate your friendships.

Should old acquaintance be forgot?

YES!! 

We all have a friend we have known for what feels like a lifetime. Sometime that friend isn’t the best. And yet you have a hard time letting them go because they’ve been around a long time. Our longest friendships can be our most toxic.

When someone asks you why you’re friends with them and you say “We have known each other a long time!” It might be time to really think about what that person means to you.

Time doesn’t always equal a valuable relationship. A person you met a month ago might do more for you emotionally than someone you met when you were two.

It’s okay to outgrow a friend. Don’t force yourself to nourish a stale friendship that expired ages ago. 

7)  Let go of those bad family members too.

Speaking of relationships, it’s okay to stop dealing with people in your family who mistreat you and make you feel less than.

Have a cousin that is rude every time you see them?

An uncle that makes you uncomfortable? Don’t talk to them! Just because they are related to you does not mean you are obligated to be around them.

This goes for parents too. You don’t deserve to be mistreated by anyone.

8) Step out of your fashion comfort zone.

via GIPHY

When you’re shopping online and you see something you have only dreamed of wearing, buy it.

Don’t wait to shed a few pounds.

Don’t wait to have an occasion.

Don’t worry about other people’s opinions.

If it brings you joy, wear it. If you want to try something new, do it. 

9) Take more pictures. 

We get so wrapped up in our self consciousness that we miss out on being part of great memories. You’re worried about whether or not you look bad.

Whether or not it can be edited. Whether or not it’s the perfect photo.

None of those things matter.

Everyone wants to look back and remember that you were there. Stop hiding! Life’s too short.

Jump in every photo you can!

10) Make time for what you’re passionate about. 

It is hard to find the energy for extra activities after a long day of work. Especially if it is a job you don’t love.

People like to say “Beyoncé has the same 24 hours and look at what she has accomplished!”

That’s not realistic by any means.

Beyonce has a lot of money and a team. You have well… you. There IS time to do what you love.

Buy yourself a planner (or find a great one online!) and create a schedule. When you write down what you actually do, you’ll see that you have time.

Instead of spending hours scrolling on social media, use that time to work on something you are passionate about!

A bonus one: Stop hustling so hard.

sleep is for the weak

The “sleep when I’m dead” culture is so strong. Too strong in fact. You’re no good to anyone, especially yourself, if you’re running on an empty cup. It’s okay to do a little less.

It’s okay to rest and take care of yourself. 

You might feel like a new year brings new pressures. It doesn’t have to. In 2021, do whatever you need to live your best life.

Do any of these 10 New Year’s Resolutions speak to you?
