I don't make real resolutions but I do try to make a mental list of things I would like to change. I've found that if it's important to me, I can do it. If not, it won't happen.
For example, I got tired of the non-stop battles with my child so I decided I would have to change, she sure wasn't going to. Even before I ever heard of The Explosive Child, I started putting things in baskets of sorts. It saved a lot of battles. I should lose weight and I should quit smoking. Neither is all that important to me to change, so they don't happen.
