Ring in a Joyful 2023 with These Funny Resolutions
Forget your juice cleanses. Hang up your jump ropes and boxing gloves. Put that credit card down and forget about buying that expensive gym membership or personal life coach. Sure those things can be helpful and maybe lead to some lasting change and better habits if you keep your “New Year, New You” motto past January 15. But for the rest of us, who are either burnt out on resolutions altogether or have to disguise them with words like “goals” or “new hobby,” we think the new year should be fun and not bum us out as much as the last two seasons of the pandemic have. Let’s look at 2023 as an opportunity to take on a bucket list of ways to make ourselves and our families experience even more joy or at the very least, laugh a little bit (we have New Year's jokes for that!). Maybe even at ourselves for how much we want to make resolutions.
This list encompasses fun ideas and challenges to try throughout the year that may or may not exist on anyone's bucket list—but should! You'll also find tucked away here and there a few tongue-in-cheek resolutions you are guaranteed to keep—cause no doubt you're already doing them. (Happy hour wine, anyone?) Whatever way you slice it, make 2022 a year you can look back on and smile and feel less stressed about. If you're looking for even more ideas of New Year's resolutions that are actually doable, check out our Best New Year's Resolutions You'll Actually Keep.
