Question by MeaCulpa: How do you “move on” after breaking your resolutions yet again?
Mine involved smoking, coffee, avoiding processed foods and more. Currently I’m functioning with all my “addictions” well satisfied and feel like a failure on this level. From past experience when I live with this negative feeling it’s completely counter productive to any success in fact my appetite for these things increases. I know I need to lighten up and not beat myself up but that’s a challenge right now.
Thanks so much for any insight!

Set smaller goals. Instead of trying to give up smoking, for instance, set a reasonable limit to how many cigarettes you smoke a day. Look for healthier replacements until you can keep cutting back to none at all.

Maybe you have to narrow your resolutions into one attainable goal. Start with coffee or smoking, it’s easier to attain desired goal when you focused only on one resolution at a time. When you succeed, follow up with the next resolution on the list and so on.
