One common theme is self - improvement. For example, in many stories, people resolve to overcome a negative trait like anger or impatience, which is about making themselves better.
Sure. There was a guy who made a resolution to stop using his phone in the bathroom. One day, he accidentally dropped his phone in the toilet while trying to quickly check a message. After that, he was so disgusted that it made it really easy to keep his resolution.
One funny story is about a person who resolved to stop being late. They set multiple alarms, but still managed to oversleep. So they decided to put their alarm clock across the room. The first morning, they were so startled by the loud noise that they jumped out of bed immediately and made it to work on time. After that, they continued this method and finally broke their habit of being late.
A young man made a spiritual resolution to be more self - reflective. He began to keep a journal. Every day, he wrote about his thoughts, actions, and how he could improve. One day, he realized that he had been too judgmental towards his friends. So, he made an effort to change. He apologized to his friends and became a much more understanding person. His journal became a record of his spiritual journey.
One funny story involves a man who resolved to stop using his phone so much. He put his phone in a drawer to keep himself from using it. But then he started to feel really anxious without it. After an hour, he took the phone out, saying, 'I just need to check if there are any important messages. I'll start my resolution tomorrow.' It shows how difficult it can be to break a habit and the humorous side of new year resolutions.
Surprise is one key element. For example, in a story where two people were fighting over a parking space, instead of arguing more, one of them suddenly offered the other a cupcake. It was so unexpected that it immediately diffused the tension.
Here's one. In an office, two colleagues were constantly bickering over the use of the coffee machine. They finally resolved it by creating a coffee schedule with funny doodles on it. It not only stopped the conflict but also made the whole office laugh. Every time they looked at the schedule, they remembered how silly they were being before.
Here's another one. A woman resolved to exercise more. So she went to the gym on January 1st. She got on the treadmill and set it to a very slow speed. After just five minutes, she thought she was going to pass out. She then sat on the treadmill, called her friend and said, 'This exercise thing is way harder than I thought. I might need to re - evaluate my resolution.'
Sure. One story is about a guy who resolved to stop using his phone while on the toilet. But the first day of the new year, he was so used to it that he absent - mindedly took his phone in there. When he realized, he laughed at himself. Another is a woman who decided to learn to cook. She tried to make a simple omelette but ended up setting off the smoke alarm. It was a total mess but also really funny.
Sure! One person's New Years resolution was to stop using exclamation marks in their texts for a whole year. But every time they got excited, they had to rewrite the message multiple times to avoid that mark. It was really funny seeing them struggle with self - control in their digital communication.
