I've been thinking about this and for me personally, I would not even bother making a resolution, but I have been setting a goal for myself in 2019. I'm on my last year of high school and my goal is to graduate on time. I've been working hard before today, before we rang in 2019, and I continue to until May of this year. That is right, I'm on track to graduate in May. I'm gonna keep working hard like I have been before today, January 1st, the first day of 2019. That's is my goal as this year goes by.

This is a smart approach. "I want to be less lonely"... Can be more like, "Im going to join a bowling league this year". I like this!

You explained this so perfect! Thanks for the great points about how it's not just the outcome but it's the habits and systems that need to change. I'll remember this for next time!
