10 Crazy New Year Resolutions Ideas To Try

A new year is a marvelous time to become a new you. You have grown, you have had new experiences, you have learned new things, and now it is time for you to make new plans based on all the lovely, fresh new information you have. New Year’s resolutions are a timeworn tradition dating back to ancient times.

Babylonians would start each year promising the gods that they would return borrowed objects and repay debts. Romans did the same to the god Janus, whose name is where we get January from. Knights of the Middle Ages would take the peacock vow at the end of the Christmas season, which renews their commitment to the code of chivalry. And there are lots of examples that suggest that, indeed, New Year’s is a time for self-improvement.

There are classic self-improvement resolutions, like working out, being more patient, and all that stuff. But what we will be showcasing on our list are the ten crazy New Year resolutions you’d want to put on your list.

1. Take More Time Off – New Year Resolution

If you are a workaholic, then you probably forget that there is, in fact, life outside of work. We know it is incredibly tempting to throw yourself into your work, especially if you are really passionate about it.

But we have to take some time and experience the myriad of amazing things that the world has to offer that are not job-related, like shopping for groceries and cleaning your laundry.

2. Be More Open-Minded To Try New Things

When we think really hard and long about it, there really is not any reason why we should do that. When it comes to people, we are instantly put off by young corporate professionals. We immediately think they must be the most boring human beings on earth.

Walking, talking flow charts, whose sole purpose is analyzing best practices and stuff like that. But we know that they are, in fact, real people, and we are sure that if we get to know them, they are going to be just as lovely as, well, non-corporate peeps.

As for experiences, we finally stepped up last year and took up hiking, so one of our crazy New Year resolutions for this year is to do even more hiking.

3. Learn Something New and Entirely Unnecessary

Plenty of people promise themselves that they are going to learn something new. Whether it is another language (be it for speaking or programming), a new software, or maybe guitar or piano lessons. But you need to think outside the box. If you want to go for music, why not try the didgeridoo? New software?

Try some basic engineering. Never mind software. Hardware is the way to go, baby! Build that computer from the ground up, using copper wire, duct tape, and random pieces of wood, MacGyver style.

4. Test The Strength Of Your Clothes

Most people want to get in shape because they wish to look like the ladies and gentlemen prancing around in their underwear on magazine covers. But you are not a drone, and neither are we! We are queen bees, so the world should get to our level!

Take your clothes and, every day, tie one end to the door handle and the other as far as it can take. Repeat that exercise for 365 days, and see just where your clothes will tear.

5. Swim With Sharks As A Part of Your New Year Resolution

Dolphins are adorable creatures; some say swimming with them can help cure diseases. But swimming with these friendly, docile creatures can dull your senses, and in today’s competitive, fast-paced free market, you need your senses sharpened, not blunted.

Rather than getting in the water with dolphins, we suggest you swim with nature’s most efficient killing machines: sharks. Swimming with these death dispensers will keep you on the edge, making the whole exercise excellent training for achieving success.

6. Give Yourself A Large Present Every Day

A previous article on this website mentioned that giving yourself a small present every day improves your overall state of mind because the frequency of the gifts counts rather than their intensity. But think about how you feel when you receive something big and gift-wrapped.

Right? Big things are excellent!

8. Spend More Time In Your Pajamas

Remember Christmas day when you were a kid, and you would wake up in your PJs and go to the tree to see if Santa got you that expensive thing you wanted? Well, Christmas day can be every day, throughout all your street clothes, and buy yourself enough pajamas so you will never have to wear a shirt or jeans ever again.

This is an easily doable, crazy New Year resolution idea.

9. Prepare a New Year Resolutions List For All Your Friends

Not everyone has New Year’s resolutions. Apparently, about 60% of Americans do not do the whole crazy New Year resolutions thing, and we would be willing to wager that the percentage drops below even that worldwide. Some people are just content with it wherever it is. But content breeds stagnation, and stagnation is the opposite of progress.

So, in your magnanimity, this year, you should endeavor to make resolutions for all your friends and help them out of the rut they are in.

10. Replace Friends That Have Refused Your Crazy New Year Resolutions

You are on your way to success, and you can’t have slackers dragging you down. Just as King Arthur gathered his best knights at his round table, so should you surround yourself with only the winningest of winners.
