Gwyneth Paltrow claims she is ‘too old’ for New Year’s resolutions

Gwyneth Paltrow has claimed she’s “too old” for New Year’s resolutions and the health-conscious Hollywood star admits she “has nothing to give up”

The 50-year-old Iron Man actress has said she doesn’t like the idea of ​​making New Year’s resolutions because she believes they “set us up to fail”, so she would prefer to set “broader goals” for next year, though He admitted that he is also running out of vices to give up.

She said in her Goop newsletter: ‘I’m not a big resolution person because I think it sets us up to fail. I try to set bigger goals and work towards them all year long.

“I think about the small incremental changes I can make rather than something big and radical.

“Besides, I’m so old now and I’ve been doing this for so long that I don’t have anything to leave anymore. It is about less tangible things.

She continued: ‘I think the new year is a good time to reevaluate: What kind of leader do I want to be? What are my goals at work?

‘What kind of father do I want to be now that my children are older? I always imagine an ideal future state, and then I think: What do I have to do to get there?

Gwyneth used to follow a strict macrobiotic diet, which relies heavily on eating organic whole grains.

But after her beloved producer father, Bruce, died in October 2002, she relaxed her strict diet.

She told Glamor magazine in 2004: ‘Since my father died, I’ve been easier on myself.

‘I want to see the world, eat ice cream. Sometimes I eat takeout, crispy duck with pancakes. Life is too short not to relax, enjoy, even smoke a cigarette.

The star, who is married to Brad Falchuk and has Apple, 18, and Moses, 16, with ex-husband Chris Martin, also reflected on how her daughter’s departure for college last year taught her how to “let go” and examine your new parent/child relationship.

Speaking of the lessons he learned in 2022, he wrote: ‘Oh my gosh, there were a ton. I think my deepest lesson was letting go when Apple went to college.

‘As a parent, you are so entwined with your child. When they are little, you are their sun and moon, and they are yours. And then when they leave the house, you’re faced with these new ideas of progressions and chapters in life.

“The way I got over the pain of that was continuous abandonment: letting go of control, ideas, perceptions, what I hope for her. And hunkering down, you know, you can always be someone’s sunshine.

‘The role of a father is to give love and give light. And you don’t expect much in return.

“When they’re little, you get lots and lots of hugs, and they sleep in bed with you when they have a nightmare.

‘When they are adults, you have to go back to the sun. I had to embody that, and I really had to let it go.’
