with the edvent of new year everyone makes resolutions.even i do and fail in keeping up a couple of them..As fashion goes why does anyone require to make a resolution only on New Years Eve? and even forget them once the new year gleam is over? i make monthly resolutions to be reasonable with myself and take a decision to do something achievable. do you make monthly resolutions?

Monthly resolutions are a good idea and more realistic than the New Years resolution that people normally go for. I never make any kidn of a resolution just because I don't want to disappoint myself. I like to take things day by day and take them as they come. I think a resolution of any kind is great but not for everyone, you have to have a lot of self discipline to stick with it.

hi Jshean. day to day resolution looks really great but monthly resolution seems ok as one can review them easily and try to cover up any shortcomings and make things better. and yes without discipline these resolutions are just a matter of paperwork.

yes I do , I call them promises to myself , I am going to keep the ironing bundle down or I am not going to worry about something I can't do anything about , sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but I do keep trying xx

No i don,t because the reason being is because when I do,i usually fail,and i don,t want to fail..I do however say to myself i will try,but no promises...I use to make new years resolutions also but i don,t anymore...I just try to do better on a day to day thing.....

Oh I try not to make resolutions, that way I can't get depressed when they don't work out lol! I do set small little goals for myself though but they have to be realistic.

I make yearly resolutions but just like everyone it isnt done. One of the resolutions is to make a yearly blood test. So now I make daily resolutions. I have a small notebook with me where I write what I have to do for the day. So even when I drive and remembered, I can write it down during traffic
