I've actually done an okay job at keeping some resolutions I've made a few days ago, thanks to moral support from my
girlfriend @iamthemostnormalhumantrustme@shitpost.cloud

thanks

@Paultron @lain is it, though? Maybe you just haven't been made the right offer?

@lain or better:
1. Decide what you want to do
2. Do it
3. Become unhealthily attached to it

@lain "one day at a time" works for this as well. no point in beating yourself up for past mistakes.

@lain still focusing on the past, while it's much more sensible to think about the future instead

@lain unless you try your new habit just for one day, then you won't feel bad tomorrow. the regular bad-feeling schedule can commence the day after tomorrow.
