How to redeem yourself after failing your New Year's resolution

A man named Eric Zorn once said, "Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle." Maybe you wanted to exercise more but the treadmill launched you headfirst into the wall and you couldn't find the ambition (or the balance) to get back on. Or maybe you wanted to study more and then you just...didn't. But you can still make 2012 the year of change. Do it the easy way, by picking a resolution you can actually follow through to the finish, like:

Eat more vegetables.

In November, a Congressional vote maintained that pizza qualifies. Does that mean Pizza Hut is healthy?

Do less laundry and wear more deodorant.

Better for the environment and your wallet.

Learn to play an instrument.

Guitar Hero definitely counts. So do kazoos.

Stop texting "LOL" all the time.

Unless you're actually laughing every thirty seconds, in which case you should:

Calm Down.

Skip all elevators and escalators.

Take the stairs instead, which weren't put there for decoration. Pretend it's Everest and you're being chased by a fat mountain yak with the endless ambition to nibble you.

Sleep a little more.

You'll live a little longer.

Tip of the week
People have made New Year's resolutions for 4,000 years

According to History.com, the tradition started with the ancient Babylonians, who resolved to pay off debts and return borrowed farm equipment in order to curry favor with the gods.
