lol!
Years ago, I read a thing about how to/how not to make resolutions. The gist:
1 Make no more than 5 resolutions, 3 or less is better
2 Make each resolution something with a finite goal (I am going to work up to walking 1/2 hour 3 times per week, for example, rather than, I am going to walk this year, or I am going to exercise more this year.)
3 Don't pick something that you KNOW you won't do/stop/start. Start with things you KNOW you can accomplish, but just need a little boost to get going.
4 Try to phrase it in a positive way, rather than negative, our minds don't like to be told what not to do. Always replace a bad habit with a good one for a reward. Instead of, I'm going to stop eating candy, say, whenever I want candy and I don't eat it, I get...x. (In college I said, I get to play a game of Gallaga or Tempest)
5 It doesn't matter when you start, or if you mess up, you jump right in again that day. Didn't make your bed you discover at 6pm?, Make it right then. Ate caviar at noon? Say, it's okay, I won't eat it the rest of the day.
Resolutions or goals aren't set in fine china, you break it, it's done, instead you do like the Japanese, and you make, Kintsugi (“golden joinery”) or kintsukuroi (“golden repair”). step by step you make a beautiful new you.
