My new year's resolution is to stretch. Literally and figuratively. I need to become a more active person.
On the literal side, I don't think I get enough physical activity regularly enough. I'm starting to feel like I'm aging, with my body getting stiff and crampy more often than I'd like. So I think I should make a point to stretch more, and that stretching should come with being more physically active.
In the figurative sense, I want to stretch out of my comfort zone. I have many interests and there are lots of things I'd like to do, but I pursue very few of them because I don't want to try new things on my own and I have trouble recruiting friends to do things with me. If I'm honest, that's mostly because I'm a little afraid to ask. So I'm going to make an effort to be more proactive and also more independent, and take charge of my evenings and weekends. I'll have to be more focused and proactive at work in order to allow myself to leave early enough to have evenings in which to do things. I'll have to make plans in advance for weekends so that I have accountability to get me out of the house. I'll have to put myself out there and invite people to do things with me. Also, I think I will finally, finally sign up for a dance class.
This mindset will also be helpful at work, as I expect to finally have data from my postdoc. It will be a kind of data that I've never worked with before, so I'll have to stretch my mind to conduct the analyses and interpret the results. It will be cool.

oh... I recognise this "I'll have to be more focused and proactive at work in order to allow myself to leave early enough to have evenings in which to do things"
so, my little promise to myself this spring is to start waking up earlier and going to the gym at least one morning a week.... It might sound like a petty goal, but if you'd seen me in te morning, you'd know it is quite a feat ;)
I feel almost like I wrote this post! (Minus the dance class thing!) I'm also feeling stiffer and in more need of stretching as I get older, and I also find it hard to persuade people to do new stuff with me and so end up doing the same old same old. It's a hard rut to break out of, especially at this coldest, darkest time of year, but well worth the effort I think. The very best of luck!
