Leeds locals reveal their New Year’s Resolutions

Following the first week of 2025, how are you getting on with your New Year's Resolutions?

Transcript

00:00I'm trying to lose a bit of weight, more exercise, hence walking around town, for example, you

00:06know, sort of thing. But I think that's a way to sort of start the new year off. Positive

00:10thinking, healthy mind, healthy body.

00:13I want to get my driving licence, to be honest. Yeah, I'm doing some lessons at the moment.

00:18Yeah.

00:19I don't think I've made any fresh ones. I do run, and I like to think I like to keep

00:24running. So that will be my resolution, is to continue, because as I'm getting older,

00:28I'm getting slower, but I'm wanting to continue, if that makes sense. So it's keeping up with

00:34it, even though I'm nowhere near as good as I was.

00:37In my family, it was always, keep your New Year's resolutions secret, because then they

00:40won't happen, blah, blah, blah. But I will actually openly say this. I think my New Year's

00:44resolution going into 2025 is just to sort of just explore more of the world. I've seen

00:50most of Europe, but I think now it's sort of going to sort of the dark corners of the

00:55world for me. Countries that most people wouldn't dare to go, for example, you know, Kazakhstan

00:59and stuff like that.

01:00I'm hoping to start the new year with a bit of a healthier, more active start, but without

01:04putting too many caveats on that, that I'll probably fail at. So just a more general overview,

01:11but also maybe to make sure that I have a prayer life and some still time, as well as

01:16being very busy and active.

01:18I'm in a group that are doing Couch to 5K. I can't fault, I mean, I ran way before those,

01:26so I can't fault them. I've known loads of people who started with that. Or on a running

01:30nap, people have done it with that and picked it up, marvellous.

01:34To people out there, I'd say it's a sort of like motivation. I would actually self, do

01:39something that at first you were afraid to do. Set yourself a goal that like, you fought

01:44last year, well, I'll save it for next year. I'll say, okay, it's next year and that, it's

01:48next year now, do it. Whether it's scary like climbing a mountain or something, all I'll

01:54say to you is do it. The greatest risk that you cannot take is by not taking a risk.
