My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we'll seek out a fruit or vegetable we've never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

I don't make new years resolutions myself, but I just had to say your profile pic gave me a little giggle, thanks
(also really like the new veg of the month idea!)

Sounds dumb, but eat more soup. Like miso soup with veggies and an egg, for example. Low calorie but filling and tasty. Trying to skip the noodles and rice with this one. Might add beans or quinoa if it isn't filling enough

I want to create Polish-Russian language exchange group on Discord.

Also I want to start learning another language, probably Italian, Turkish or Latin.

In the realm of low-stakes New Year's resolutions, I've decided to approach things like a turtle: slow, steady, and deliberate.

One of my goals is to read a few pages before bed each night, embracing the tranquility of the night like a ghostly whisper weaving through the pages.

Another resolution involves culinary adventures—I plan to try a new recipe every month, daring my taste buds to dance to flavors they've yet to meet, maybe even conjuring a dish that turns a stinky apple into a delicious surprise. And to inject some movement into my work-from-home routine, I aim to take short walks during breaks, not as a sprint but as a turtle's amble, allowing myself to soak in the world outside my screen.

These resolutions are gentle nudges toward a better self without the weight of undue pressure.

Low stakes would be getting back into a study routine, I want to improve my Norwegian. I'm quite proficient but plateaued at some point and stopped putting any effort in.

Use VPN more often

Improve my Spanish. It's low stakes because I was going to be doing it anyway, but this makes it a formal goal :)

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I’ll skip all resolutions and promises. Instead, I’ll go with a theme.
