Iltalehti found out the plans of people known to the public for their New Year’s resolutions.
Actor and presenter Ernest Lawson hasn’t planned a New Year’s resolution, but decides to make one during a phone conversation. In the past, Lawson has started a candy and treat strike and set various goals, for example going to the gym four times a week.
– I’ve noticed that it turns into a moron who haunts me all the time, reprimands me if I have thoughts of wanting to buy a bag of candy or not being able to go to the gym, Lawson describes.
Such promises have not worked, but the promises have “fallen into the mud”. However, during the phone conversation, an insight emerges.
– I could promise here in front of the watching eyes of the entire nation that I could take more naps in 2025, he comes up with.
Lawson thinks that naps could be a form of self-care. He has napped a lot throughout his life, but in the last couple of years the naps have stopped due to being busy or feeling like it. A month ago, the family had a third child. It is often thought that parents teach children things, but Lawson thinks the situation is the other way around.
– The child has taught me again the noble art of napping. In 2025, I will try to rhythm my life so that when the baby sleeps through the night, the father also sleeps through the night. Let that be my New Year’s resolution, Lawson concludes.
Baby year 2025 is therefore the year of Lawson’s pacifiers.
I must always have some compulsion
Virpi Kätkä answers the phone and says that he just happened to think of New Year’s resolutions. Now, the necessary small posture movement coincides appropriately with the new year. Kätkä says he suffers from high cholesterol. The doctor warned him that if the values did not improve, he would have to start medication.
– I always have to have something to control my weight, he says.

Now, in order to avoid starting the medicine, hard fats must be left out and walks should be taken as a direction. Kätkä laughs as an example that he always has to go to one of the Survivors to lose weight or fit into a Eurovision costume or something similar. He must be a wonderful thing.
Kätkä likes to use organic butter and cream.
– I haven’t really been a fan of soft fats, he admits.
However, hard fats cause Kätkä a headache. He noticed that again at Christmas, when there were reportedly “a million boxes” of candies at home.
You can cope better in a weaker condition, and losing weight would also help Kätkä’s reflux disease. Weight loss Kätkä notices that the clothes fit.
– I haven’t been to the scale for years, I don’t count weights, he reveals.
“I’ve never done”

– I have never made any big promises like that. It’s better to keep promises when you don’t make them, he says to himself.
The helper you know from TV decides, according to what he has told, to do things as they come. Even the change of the year is not a special place of celebration for him.
– There are no plans, it’s a normal day like any other, the TV personality says on the phone.
“Now is the time to understand”
Media personality and rally karter Janni Hussi would like to be more interesting, but he has to admit that the whole new year is a bit over his head. Likewise, New Year’s resolutions.

– I feel that every year I promise that next year I will slow down and focus on well-being and relaxation. It hasn’t worked in a single year, so I’ve already given up on it, Hussi laughs.
According to Huss, the head has now been hit against the wall so many times that now is the time to understand. He signs the statement on the phone that no one needs unsecured promises.
– Namely, especially from himself to himself, he shouts out loud.
Even the actual New Year’s celebration will be peaceful while sitting behind the wheel of a car.
– We hung out with the guys last weekend, so I’m totally committed to being a driver. It’ll be too soon, can’t, he laughs.
A constant well of hope
Entrepreneur Sampo Kaulanen is not going to make New Year’s resolutions.
– Actually, I’m not doing it, I don’t feel like lying, he says straight away on the phone.
Kaulanen clarifies that if you want something, you have to do the work throughout the year.
– At least I have a constant well of hope in my head. It won’t come just by wishing, he clarifies.
There is a lot of talk about manifesting, but Kaulanen has interpreted it so that clean work and doing is needed if you want to get something.

– If you dare to promise that it is in beach condition, then the fact is that the backbone needs to be dug. He still hasn’t found a spine that is good enough to be in good shape for the summer, he admits.
However, Kaulanen tries to improve things in life. As one example, he mentions giving up the trade and doing new things. At the moment, the construction of a new resort is on the mind every day.
Kaulanen sometimes remembers as a “puppy” that he made New Year’s resolutions, for example, about a zero-drop January.
– They probably didn’t last more than the first week, he recalls.
Instead, Kaulanen has now been without alcohol for more than three years, so at least the promises of a drip-free January are permanently off the agenda.
