Making New Year’s resolutions is the first step, but for some of us, keeping up with them during the whole year may be difficult. Family, friends and partners tell each other which specific resolutions they don’t think they intend on following and why that is.
As we explore new perspectives we invite you to step into the emotional space of connection and experience the deeper lessons that shared experiences can afford humanity. To everyone who has participated openly and vulnerably in our project - we appreciate what you have shared with us and hope others do as well.

What's a New Year's resolution
0:04
you know I'm not going to keep
0:06
and why?
0:07
This is kind of a funny question
0:08
and I'll tell you why. But go ahead.
0:10
Oh, do we make those?
0:19
A New Year's resolution
0:20
that you're not going to keep?
0:24
I was going to say something, but
0:26
it's going to make
0:26
you sound like an alcoholic
0:27
and you're not an alcoholic.
0:29
Man, I would be very disappointed.
0:31
My bourbon. - Yeah.
0:34
No, I think you can-
0:36
if you ever were to make
0:38
a thing about not drinking,
0:40
you've done it. - Yeah.
0:43
I feel like if you make a resolution
0:46
that you really mean and...
0:51
like that, willpower, you'll do it.
0:55
You're not going to set
0:56
any New Year's resolutions.
0:58
You're going to have intentions
0:59
and you shall hit all of them.
1:02
Thank you.
1:03
Well, I would like to say
1:04
that you would keep
1:05
all your New Year's resolutions,
1:08
but you have so many ideas,
1:10
little things in your head
1:12
that you're like, I'm
1:12
going to do this, this and this.
1:14
But then you go on to like the next thing.
1:16
I can't help it.
1:18
Honestly,
1:18
you have like a million
1:19
New Year's resolutions.
1:20
Like, I mean, it's not like your fault.
1:23
Right?
1:24
It's just like, sometimes,
1:25
like the way your brain works.
1:27
I don’t know.
1:28
I feel like
1:28
I'd have an answer
1:29
for myself immediately.
1:31
Really? Damn. - Yeah.
1:33
Because... - I don't know.
1:34
I never keep my resolutions
1:35
at the beginning of the year.
1:38
But the reason I think it's funny is
1:40
I don't like resolutions.
1:41
That's why, like,
1:42
I don't think you would
1:44
make a commitment to something
1:46
and not do- like...
1:49
I think I even joked when you-
1:50
I said: my New
1:51
Year's resolution
1:51
is to not have resolutions.
1:53
To keep decorating the house every year.
1:55
Like-
1:56
Yeah, I'm really bad at decorations,
1:58
aren't I? - Yeah.
1:59
Yeah, it's like, oh, an ornament.
2:01
Here's some lights and a little tree.
2:03
I know. I'm so not great at that.
2:06
I'll get better.
2:13
You won’t even make this
2:14
as a resolution, no?
2:15
I probably would, because I just see...
2:17
Well, it all depends on what we talkin’ about.
2:19
But I feel like we know what we talkin’ about. - Shoes?
2:21
Yeah.
2:21
Yeah, you would never make that your
2:22
New Year's resolution.
2:24
Yeah, I wouldn't say that.
2:25
But, I mean, just like you said,
2:27
you're not gonna buy them shoes tomorrow.
2:28
I'm pretty sure
2:29
I will be surprised if you don't.
2:32
Buy the shoes tomorrow?
2:33
Yeah. The ones that come out tomorrow.
2:36
But I also don't feel like there's
2:37
a New Year's resolution
2:38
that you would ever make- - Like this...
2:41
I would, yeah,
2:41
I would question if you were okay
2:43
if you made that.
2:46
Exercise.
2:47
I knew you're going to say that.
2:48
And I was gonna say,
2:49
you can't ask that.
2:50
Exercise.
2:50
You always-
2:51
you always have this like moment
2:52
where you do
2:53
very good for a couple of months.
2:54
You exercise, you got your shit together.
2:56
It seems like you’re gonna
2:57
keep going with it,
2:58
but you end up stopping
2:59
because work gets too busy or some shit
3:00
like that.
3:01
But definitely
3:02
yeah, man.
3:02
I feel like you're not going to
3:03
stay with the exercise one.
3:05
You know why that's not the case?
3:07
No. - Because it's not even going to be
3:08
a New Year's resolution.
3:10
I can't fail if I don't start.
3:11
Yeah, man, that's definitely...
3:13
Yeah, man, you're not
3:14
going to keep it.
3:15
If you try that
3:16
you're not going to go with it.
3:17
I know.
3:18
Oh, easy: exercise.
3:21
That's so easy.
