101 Funny New Year’s Resolutions For 2022

Forget Your Boring Juice Cleanse… Take Up These Realistic New Year’s Resolutions and Avoid Disappointment

Can you believe we’re halfway through January already?! The dust has well and truly settled after the festive season. We’ve waved goodbye to Santa, a healthy bank balance, and the DPD man (until next week); and we’ve waved hello to that human space hopper we see in the mirror every morning. 

By now most of us have probably abandoned those New Year’s resolutions that were meant to define our 2022.

Most of our ill-fated forays into self-improvement are linked to living our bestest, healthiest lives. Eat less KFC; drink more green tea. That kind of thing.

But if mantras like “eat clean, train dirty” make you throw up in your mouth, there is another way. We’ve compiled a list of 101 funny New Year’s resolutions for 2022 to put a smile on your face and help you realise what silly nonsense it all is. (Remember when Kim Kardashian vowed to learn to do the splits in 2016!?!)

These resolutions might not help with your health goals, but they will make you happier. As if we’d ever encourage you to eat fewer Greggs sausage rolls…
