00:00 So New Year's resolutions, do you have any and what are they?
00:06 No, none at all.
00:08 Do you usually keep New Year's resolutions?
00:11 I don't even make them because I know I won't keep them.
00:14 I've kind of already started mine, I've cut out alcohol and I'm trying to stick to that.
00:19 I've already tested myself in a few situations where I've been out with friends and I've
00:23 decided not to drink and I've found myself being fine in those scenarios so I'm going
00:27 to stick to that.
00:28 I make New Year's resolutions, I do.
00:32 And tell me, have you got one in mind that you're going to make?
00:36 Work less, enjoy life more and start beekeeping.
00:42 Probably to be more motivated and to stop being in my head so much.
00:47 But yeah I think that's what my New Year's resolutions will be.
00:49 Do they work in general, have you tried them before?
00:52 No, actually I feel like I do very unrealistic ones which is why they've never worked before
00:56 but I think yeah, those are the ones I'm going to try and hopefully.
01:01 I probably have all the usual ones which are soon forgotten but nothing major.
01:07 Do you find then that if you make them you don't keep them?
01:11 Depends what they are, I mean on particular subjects but not generally about perhaps fitness
01:17 and diet and things like that.
01:22 I never do New Year's resolutions so I don't think I'll be any different this year so no
01:27 New Year's resolutions for me.
01:29 Do you think a lot of people will be the same this year and just kind of go with the flow
01:32 and see what happens?
01:33 I think that people always tend to use the New Year to say 'I'm going to exercise, I'm
01:39 going to stop smoking, I'm going to stop drinking' and then it never happens so yeah, why bother?
01:47 I never make any because I've gotten on to break then have I?
01:54 What do you think of New Year's resolutions?
01:56 Yeah, it's up to the people in general if they want to carry on from home.
02:05 Yeah I would like to start my own business again so I've had a few of my own previous
02:10 ones and yeah hopefully this time around it's going to be a successful one so I'm hoping
02:16 to progress within that.
02:18 Do you think they're a good idea New Year's resolutions?
02:23 I feel as though it makes people think a little bit more of what they want to do, like concentrate
02:34 on the things that they want to do.
02:35 It's like throughout the year they do their own thing and they're just concentrating on
02:39 that.
02:40 However when they bring back into the New Year's resolutions as you say they literally
02:45 just concentrate on that specific aspect and literally think to themselves in the future
02:49 well maybe I need to change something about it.
02:51 What do you think the best resolutions are to make?
02:55 Good health, look after your family and look after all your grandchildren, everybody you
