Over 50 New Year's Resolutions

Here comes the mother of all New Year's resolution loads. It's January 1st, still questioning what your New Year's resolution should be? Look no more. Here's over 50 2011 New Year's resolutions to consider as this list continues to roll in new resolution ideas.

Giving up smoking, alcohol or drugs would be the ultimate New Year's resolutions for an addict. Make it a clean year and kick it off sober. Spending more time with family or children is perfect for those who believe they should have. Sitting less, walking more is a New Year's resolution geared for the couch potato. Weight-loss goals can be easier said than done for those wishing for a smaller size in 2011.

Quitting or cutting down on donuts, sweets and treats can prove a beneficial new year. Eating more vegetables and fruits can be a healthy resolution. Giving up late night snacks is a tough pattern to break. The same applies to fast food or weaning soda from the general menu. Cutting down on high calorie foods and drinks or lowering caffeine intake both can prove of healthy value. All great 2011 New Year's resolutions to consider but we can't leave out the electronics.

Reality television addicts may want to lessen their reality viewing as a resolution. Those burning the midnight oil with late night television only to wake up tired may want to regulate night time television viewing as their resolution.

Paying attention and turning off unused electrical appliances or machines is truly an energy saving New Year's resolution. It is amazing to find that most households tend to waste electric just by not paying attention to fans and lights being left on for little or no reason.

Too much gaming can cause all sorts of problems. A gaming addict should include a New Year's resolution surrounding cutting game time by at least half. With 2011 internet gaming and live X-Box continuing popularity children tend to stay on for long periods of time. Cut the potential game addict's time short. But why stop there? If you are online 20/7 make less internet usage your own resolution.

Other excellent New Year's resolutions can include less texts, more visits, better long and short distance communication, less critical, floss more, clutter less, dust more, gossip less, read more, use coupons more, jog more, worry less, smile more, get out more, listen more, be more positive - not negative, bike ride more, Religion related New Year's resolutions can include attending church more.

Being on time rather than a habitual tardy client, student, or any which applies, can share a responsible side of a person. For the habi-tards following the "on time" resolution can make all the difference whether in an office, a job or school related. Employees can work towards becoming more dedicated within the workforce as a New Year's resolution. Yes, the same can be applied to the student.

Becoming a better advocate or volunteer are great New Year's resolutions. Deciding to donate more as a New Year's resolution is something we all should consider. Giving more, taking less is also an unselfish resolution pick.

Saying hello more to your neighbors should result in a positive outcome. That is if your neighbors replicate. Whether or not, it is the nice thing to do. So, start being nice. Another good resolution is to interact with the community more. Make yourself more accessible and less unsociable as a resolution.

Organizing documents is one thing but keeping the sorted is a whole new can of worms. The "getting rid of old paperwork" resolution should do the trick. And if you don't recycle, add recycling on as a resolution. If you have not yet gone green, say bye to old ways and get with the times as a resolution to welcome 2011.

Buy more U.S. items and products. Giving up the purchase of foreign items and products is not a political resolution but more of an economical survival tactic these days. One can stand proud as a United States citizen following this resolution. I'm proud - for the most part. There are some items and products the U.S. does not make enough of. Guess we know what my New Year's resolution should be.

Stop complaining! If you can't quit complaining at least cut down some as a New Year's resolution - not just for you, for everyone. Promising to stop cursing all together is not an easy task for a person who swears like a sailor, but can be done - even for New Jersey.

2011 naturally should come with a couple of timely resolutions such as focusing on goals more, taking more photos of loved ones, communicating offline more, doing better at furthering your education, listening to your doctor's advice more and supporting goals more of those around you. Resolutions should consist of less of and more of. Whatever takes you away from some of the fitted suggestions above perhaps you should do less of.

Loving yourself and sharing yourself with others in a healthy loving manner is one of our favorite New Year's resolutions. Love makes the world go round - hate just buries it.

Lastly, for a writer who skips around the mulberry bush, down to the corner, straight into the park, over to the post office with a b-line back to mulberry bush just to send this New Year's resolution list, it seems favoritable for me to choose the "wrap it up" and "cut it short" resolution.
