Last year, I made a resolution to focus on my mental health and choices for myself. I focused on actually having boundaries for myself. If I don’t focus on myself, nobody will. I’ve kept that resolution all year. Every person needs to focus on themselves, and not just as a New Year’s resolution.

Cashier
Probably not. I had a resolution a few years ago, and I can’t even remember what it was now. Maybe it was about working out more or some self-improvement thing—and that didn’t work out. I got chubbier. I haven’t even thought about next year’s resolution. This year has passed by so fast that I haven’t had the time to think about it; I’m just going through the motions.
Amanda Gonzales
Receptionist
No. I always try to make a resolution about going to the gym. A lot of other people seem to have the same resolution, and the gym is always packed after New Year’s. This year’s resolution is that I’m going to try to go to the gym that I’ve had a membership at for the past two years—and try to have a dry January.

Maintenance worker
Five years ago, my New Year’s resolution was to incorporate fasting into my life. While some people fast for religious reasons, I did it for health reasons—my family history of diabetes. My routine is fasting for 48 hours each month. I only consume liquids, such as Ensure or protein drinks. I try to eat a healthy diet for the rest of the month.

Come on! Nobody keeps a resolution. Maybe for a couple or three days. But eight years ago, I actually quit tobacco and never looked back. I made a promise and was done—and that’s the only resolution that I’ve ever kept.
