Resolutions: Love them or loathe them we talked in this old episode about how best to make ones that stick. Susie's not a fan. I LOVE them, because they have transformed my life.  Whichever camp you're in, you're right; do what suits you. Here's my process. 1: Write down what you achieved in 2023 and take time to appreciate it. 2: Create categories that are meaningful to you. Mine: Joy, Learning, Fitness and health. Then write in those categories what you would like to change or tweak. 3: Pick the ONE that feels most important right now then hone it down to a very specific action. eg 'I want to see my friends more' is whittled down to 'I will contact these people every Monday to find out who is free for a dog walk that week. I will set aside x night a week for a one hour drink with these friends and always turn up. 4: Put a reminder post-it note on your bathroom mirror by your toothbrush. 5: Only do this one thing until it's a habit then move to the next. 6: If you 'fail' you then know that it's either something you really didn't care about that much and you can strike it off your list or you weren't specific enough in how to execute it so you can tweak it. 7: Once it's a habit move to the next thing on your list.  Treat it like a compass re-set to find your true North, not something to beat yourself up with. The beauty of this system is that it helps you to realise what things genuinely matter to you rather than everyone else. NB: Write your list somewhere that won't get lost or forgotten. I use a simple paperback that is slotted into a beautiful book cover which can hold the pen I use. Be the person you want to be, not the person others think you should be, and take time to appreciate all of your wins. #newyear #resolutions #success #happiness #joy #change #true #lists #parenting #teen #teens #tween #jobhunt https://lnkd.in/e4FGcXmJ

Great tips Rachel. I had great catch up with my friends over holidays just wish they lived closer that we could meet up more often. But then it feels really special when we finally do :)
