How Do You “Move on” After Breaking Your Resolutions Yet Again?

Published February 14, 2014

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!

Answer by Mad Mac
In Ben Franklin’s “twelve virtues (plus one)” number 4 is resolution. He says, “Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.” Try again and if you keep failing you might consider just not making New Year’s resolutions.
