I am making 3, the two will be a nice effort to maintain (fitness / house related).the 3rd one already feels impossible (enforced from yesterday). I have decided not to say anything bitchy about other people out loud. Straight away, I have realised how mean and petty I often am. So, it will be a challenge not to only keep my mouth shut, but also I hope this effort will force me to focus more on seeing more beauty in the world.

I dont make them, not because I think I am perfect, more because I know I wouldn't keep them so why set myself up for a fall?

IF I ever did, I know the hardest one to keep would be to stop drinking.
I LOVE my large cold glass of Chardonnay in the evening with my main meal of the day.
Life would be just that bit emptier without it. 😥

Giving up sugar in tea or coffee. In reality that means giving up tea and coffee, which is going to be miserable.

Giving up sugar and exercising. I struggle to motivate myself, especially in the winter when it's cold.

I bought myself a treadmill not long ago though so absolutely no excuse now as I can run/jog in my living room.

I'm going to try cutting out sugar again but this time I might give myself a bit less pressure and allow myself one day a week to enjoy a sweet treat. I think that's my problem, I put too much pressure on myself to do everything perfectly

The mindset ones are the type I always find more difficult.

I’ve decided to try and not say anything negative about my FIL, especially to my DH, as it’s his dad, and as much as we both really dislike him, or rather his attitude and behaviour, DH feels the need to apologise for his dad constantly, so we both need to stop it.
