The reframe of local involvement as something equally worthy of resolution culture is genuinely clever. What stands out is how much the barrier isn't capability but the permission structure we give ourselves to start messy and iterate. I tried someting similar last year with a monthly meet-a-neighbor commitment and it changed the texture of living here way more than any skill-building habit ever did.
Would love to hear more about your meet the neighbor commitment too! I'm not sure how to get started. Like I know the names of most of my neighbors but I don't think that's the same as really knowing them.
I actually love this reframe, because I think the new world we live in forces us to make ‘wellness’ collective. I could always commit to another journaling or exercise practice, but the thing that REALLY makes me feel more okay is building community first. If we have to set very intentional resolutions to make that happen, I think we should!

I’d love to hear more about what your meet-a-neighbor commitment looked like! Gathering inspo (and courage) for my own meet my neighbors endeavor.
