The day of reckoning has come. 365 days have passed and like every year, the French have experienced joys and success, but also failures and disappointment. “In 2022, I’m quitting smoking”, “I’m learning a new hobby”, “I’m looking for true love outside of dating apps”, “I’m watching my wallet”… Among all these quoted promises, how much have you actually applied?

A few hours before New Year’s Eve, billions of people plan to celebrate the passage in 2023 with friends or family. While others, more reasonable, prefer the company of their television set, zapping between the channels and multiple bloopers rebroadcast at the end of the year. Or even think about making resolutions (and try to stick to them).

However, there is no point in brooding and thinking about the negative things that ruined our year. To put a smile on your face, here are some unusual resolutions that should inspire you from January 1.
