This is the end of the year message from the souvlakis:
Do not make the resolution:
- I’m going to go to the gym
- I’m going to make the fitness
- I’m going to run and do this and make the more moneys
and do all this and make sure and do that, you’re not going to do this –
we all know this is the lie, yeah, so make this more the realistic:
- I am going to put more kilo
- yeah, I’m not going to make too much money, yeah,
if you make like this and you put less kilo and you make more money – you got to be happy, you see, so don’t say the lie to yourself the beginning of the year, yeah, because you start with the lie, you end with the lie – start with the lie and end with the lie, you understand? happy new year, i love you.

The end-of-year souvlaki wisdom and a yippy new year’s wish
Every December, we start talking about fresh starts, bold goals, and magical transformations that kick in on January 1. But there’s one comedic voice who wants us to keep it real: Cypriot Smurf, whose viral reel reminds us that most resolutions quickly turn into half-baked dreams. So, before we all pledge to do 10,000 squats a day while saving a gazillion dollars, let’s hear from the souvlaki master himself.
Funny truth + yippy positivity = a new year’s reality check
We love the honesty here – it’s true that big, flashy resolutions often go belly-up by mid-February.
In fact, research shows that:
- About half of us make New Year’s resolutions each year.
- 80% abandon them by the second week of February.
- Top goals like losing weight, starting a diet, and saving more money often get derailed by life’s busyness (hello, leftover holiday cookies!).
But don’t worry-yippy encourages you to keep things simple, fun, and realistic. Instead of setting a big, lofty resolution, celebrate the small victories. Maybe it’s trying a new exercise class for a week, or swapping out one sugary snack a day. And if you decide your resolution is to “gain a little weight” and then you happen to lose a few pounds – hey, that’s a bonus!
Harnessing positivity for a healthier mindset
One of the best gifts you can give yourself in the new year is a daily dose of positive self-talk. Studies show that when we focus on gratitude and self-compassion, we naturally feel more energized and resilient. Even a simple habit like writing down one good thing that happened each day can boost your mood. Remember, positivity isn’t about ignoring life’s challenges – it’s about training your mind to see opportunities within them.
Boosting energy through small rituals
Rather than vowing to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight, try starting with tiny rituals that keep your motivation high. For example, take a five-minute walk after lunch or treat yourself to a calming tea break in the afternoon. These micro-habits can help you feel more engaged, reduce stress, and ultimately give you the energy you need to tackle bigger goals – no souvlaki required (though we won’t say no to a tasty bite!).
Wrapping up & sharing the laughter
At yippy, we believe in starting the new year with a wink and a smile, not a checklist of impossible tasks. If Cypriot Smurf’s comedic wisdom speaks to you, share this article with friends and on social media – spread the souvlaki love and remind everyone it’s okay to keep things real.
Happy New Year from yippy!
May your resolutions be as deliciously attainable as a freshly grilled souvlaki …
