Hello and welcome back to season 3, episode two of 30 Old, 30 Young. You heard last week all about Charlotte's resolutions and the way she's doing it, but I'm doing things a little bit differently and that's what we're going to get into this episode, as well as some announcements, I guess Some big, big, big announcements Okay, I went over high, but they're not that big, but they're pretty cool announcements that we're going to make near the end. So if you stick around I mean you and I are sticking around Because I have no idea.
Speaker 3:I'm joking, I'm thinking about that.
Speaker 2:Okay, stick around and well, you'll hear them. So, yeah, I am taking on the new year's resolution a little bit differently to you. Um, so I'm doing little ones, I'm doing loads of little ones I think are going to then amount to big things, yeah so, and it's kind of like we're all, we're tired. Right, we're 30 and we're tired, we're in our 30s and we're tired. That's my whole thing about this. So if I start to go, well, I want to do this thing, this thing, this thing, that's going to take a huge amount of time, away from me, family and all that lot, it's just I'm just going to give up by.
Speaker 2:Like we said last episode, february is going to be a long shot for me. I'm going to be given up by mid-Jan. By the time this episode goes out, I will have given up, right, not on the podcast, on whatever, like huge thing, because I always have, at the start of every year, it's like to. It's always to run a marathon. That is always the, I think, since Run Fat Boy Run came out, every fatty loves to think, think they could run a marathon. I mean, you know, and I could, it would just take me a long fucking time, you know do you?
Speaker 3:do that because it's a thing that people do I think I do it because, because you actually want to do it, I don't think I want.
Speaker 2:You don't want to do it because you've not done it exactly, well, exactly, I think I partly want to do it, because if I, if you, don't, because you're not committed to it no, no, but you've made me finish. I partly want to do it because, um, I want to go and do the Paris one, the Berlin one, but then I thought it's easy just to go there on holiday.
Speaker 3:I was just going to say that yeah, you can, it turns out crazy.
Speaker 2:you can just go there on holiday.
Speaker 2:You don't have to go run around the city. Yeah, I didn't have to have an excuse because I do want to do. I want to do to Vegas and record a podcast, which is like a marathon, isn't it? Um, so yeah, so that is my. I'm going to do.
Speaker 2:Loads of little ones, I think, are going to make a big difference as the years go on, years as well. I think this is going to be long lasting. So first one is a nice easy one, and this is my fault. It doesn't happen already as often as it should is. I want it. It sounds so. I sound like such a tramp. I want to eat at the dining room table more Because I'm a little bit of a messy boy. A lot of the time when I come home from football or this or work or whatever, I've always got a bag that's got stuff in it and I'll put it on the dining room table and I'll be like I'll get to that later and then put the kids down and forget about it, do something else, and so the dining room table as the week goes on, it's kind of our catch-all, so it stops us from going there when we have a meal or something like that, and sometimes I even find myself I'll be stood at the counter while watching a YouTube video. I'm like what am I doing?
Speaker 3:You know I couldn't think of anything else. I can't leave you standing up in the kitchen and eat dinner.
Speaker 2:I'm always on my grind, mate that is, and that with that comes eating. So having the kids eat at the dining room, at the dining room table, because a lot of times we're out, yeah, and so I'd like to do have a sit down meal at home more.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that's nice. Yeah, even if you just do it at the weekend or Saturday morning, that's it like put it together Like we will.
Speaker 2:We will do it like and we'll sit there, but it'll always be like we're down one end of the table and it's my job and I should be doing it, so how are?
Speaker 3:you going to make?
Speaker 2:sure you do it, then I'm going to put my stuff away. I'm going to be tidier.
Speaker 3:I'm going to be checking in with you on this you know.
Speaker 2:Okay, you're going to be looking through our dining room window and be like no, yeah, I was going to like did you have dinner last night at the table yeah, well, that's it.
Speaker 2:And I mean I've I've thrown it off, obviously, with my, my fasting over the years where I wouldn't eat at night, I wouldn't eat past like five o'clock. So, and I say that I wouldn't eat past five o'clock, I wouldn't have a meal past five o'clock, but then I'd end up snacking at 11, um, so, yeah, that's number one. That's the one thing I want to do, because I genuinely think that will create like a. The kids will get used to it and they'll like it at first and then eventually grow to hate it.
Speaker 3:Sure, because they'll be teenagers so whenever I go down to my grandparents, every morning, every dinner, we're always at the table it's lovely yeah, even for breakfast we're all there.
Speaker 2:I've got like cereal toast, cup of tea chatting yeah, and then, following on from that and it's kind of like a more of an engagement thing is, I'm just gonna put my phone away more. I'm on my phone too much and like the kids are there and they're only this age once and I should. It should never come to the point where and I, you see, and it's happened, it's happened where brin's like trying to get my attention I'm just like, oh, just one sec, I've just gotta, I gotta see this or something like that, and you see it in public all the time, where people be on their phone and you know they were like what do you want? You know they'll, they'll have a go at their kids because their kids are just trying to get their attention, but they're facing their phone and I never want to be that and I just you just worry that it does get to that. You just on your phone, you're just like what, what, what are you talking about? What?
Speaker 3:are you doing? I literally do that to Maisie all the time and I think to myself Charlotte, come on she's a dog.
Speaker 2:She doesn't know what you're doing. She's like. Why is she staring in one place?
Speaker 3:but sometimes, when you've got stuff to get done, it's just like you've got to be on it oh well, different story if, like I'm, oh, just scrolling if I'm just scrolling or I'm playing annoyingly Candy Crush, I've got to, it probably calms you down. It's probably that bit where you can just have a bit of calm and just chill. You can relax.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's probably why you do it, but then all it does is put off doing stuff, and then I end up thinking I probably should clear the bags off the dining room table, you know, rather than playing fucking candy crush. So, no less phones I want to bring that screen time right down. And what I did have for a while on my old phone, I had uh limits. You can put limits on your apps, yes, and so what I did was I. It used to pop up. If I spent 15 minutes on Instagram, it would pop up and be like that's 15, because you don't realise. It's mad how quickly that pops up and you can go and it sounds you sound like a crackhead. You can get rid of it. No, you sound like a crackhead because it goes like 15 more minutes, or it just goes just one more minute, or something like that. It says just one more minute. So you sound like please, please, make just one more minute of Instagram, please, please.
Speaker 3:It is. It's a trap, isn't it? Like literally all day of the day, I'm constantly on my computer screen and I'm on my phone. It's just too much. I want to leave my little screen at work so I can go look at my even smaller screen whilst I watch my big screen.
Speaker 2:Honestly, that's it I'm. I spend too much time on it, but it's hard when it's just square. Eyes mate. Well, yeah, he gets quite a rise, yeah, but the thing is that that is I just want to. Yeah, if I put the screen down, and what I'll do? Because you can set it.
Speaker 2:So when the time limit comes up, there's passcode and you have to type in that passcode to then be able to watch Instagram again. Look at Instagram again, right? So if I tell Brie, can you make up a passcode, I then can't just type in the passcode and be like I'll have 15 more minutes, thank you. So if I do that and it sounds bad that I have to have someone do that, but I realized Instagram now is obviously it's more designed, everything is more designed for keep scrolling, keep scrolling, keep scrolling. It keeps refreshing, keeps refreshing. I don't see any posts really of people. I know it's all. I think I just need to have a complete thin out and just just follow people. I know, because all of it is just celebrity shite see I don't follow, so I follow.
Speaker 3:Like motivational stuff, like quotes.
Speaker 2:I love a motivational you do love a quote yeah or just like so you're like this is reading. Actually this is an instagram, it's basically a book. So it's like motivational quote. You do love a quote, yeah. Or just like. So you're like this is reading. Actually this is an instagram, it's basically a book, yeah, so it's like a little little loophole.
Speaker 3:You're like this is actually education no, but I do, you know, I follow like business pages and stuff like that to see stats and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:I see stats, so that that's. That's an easy one. Put the phone down for a bit, you know, but I say easy, it's one of those ones. It's habit. You just pick up your phone all the time, like I'm not going to lie, it's so easy. It's happening with because now I've started wearing a watch. You know I'm showing everyone. I've started wearing a watch. I'm not wearing my pocket, I look at my watch because that's what used to happen.
Speaker 3:Like you go, oh gosh, so it's, I've now got to get out of the habit of being like oh what, yeah, that's a really good idea, that's, that's actually quite a bad thing with like these smart watches I should have said it in the patreon episode I'm binning off.
Speaker 2:Leave smartwatches in 2024. Yeah, can't be bothered. It's constant, because even when you're away from your phone, it gets you. You could be, I could be, I could leave my phone in the bedroom and I'm across the house doing something and then suddenly you get like a bing bong oh shit, I've got to go reply to that. And you go back upstairs and stop what you're doing, empty your bags off the dining room table. It's a nightmare. So that's another thing. And then I'm going to read a book.
Speaker 3:I love reading books.
Speaker 2:Honestly, they just transport you to another place. I mean fully, fully, fully gonna read all the way through. I'm gonna read it all the way through and it's I. I I've got a, because there's obviously whenever you enjoy it. I like an audio book, but I want to read it. I want to sit down and read a book.
Speaker 3:What do you take him more when you listen or visually?
Speaker 2:well, the thing is like I think it's neil gaiman said for thousands of years, books, stories have been audiobooks, because stories have just been told from person to person to person. You used to listen to stories. It's only been in the last like 300, 400 years that we've written them down. Yeah, probably longer than that.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, but yeah, in the span of humanity, we've only been reading for a little bit, so listening to a book is absolutely fine. However, I just want to have if I am going to have some down time, I want it to be away from a screen. Just carrying on with the lack of screen thing, I do agree.
Speaker 3:It's like you know the other night. I think it was about half an them. I was like, right, jake, I'm going to switch off now yeah. I've got my book out and I ran and I was a sleeper. I know I was literally got my book out and I couldn't put it down oh shit, really yeah, because I just needed time just to like, just not be focused on something and just enjoy and just quiet down. I love and I really enjoyed it. I'm obsessed with the book that's nice.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, that's what I need to find. I need to find a book, because I've listened to books and I've got at the end of it. As you know. I've really enjoyed it and I thought I probably could have, I probably could and should have just read that and sat down and read it and really like thumbed over the pages and really just like got into it. But I just haven't. I've tried, you know, I've tried and I've just fallen asleep after about five minutes and that's really bad because that's obviously my attention deficit from being on TikTok and Instagram and all that lot is now spilling into yeah, but you might not be interested in the book.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie. I could get a page in. I could be, but what I need to get is a lamp.
Speaker 3:But you actually fall asleep reading a book.
Speaker 2:I could fall asleep reading a book very quickly.
Speaker 3:I've never been able to do that, that's amazing.
Speaker 2:So what I need to get is a lamp. Do you literally fall asleep? I could fall asleep so quickly, gosh, so I'd be out like a light. So what I need to get is a lamp, because a little bit more, I'm quite slow to go to bed, like I'll be in the bed but I'll be like scrolling or whatever. I just need to get a little lamp next to my bed and just, instead of scrolling, just have a little bit of a read and do that, and I think that's a very easy thing just to and I'm setting myself a target of one book and what for the year?
Speaker 2:Just one book, because I'm hoping it's going to snowball, because I'm going to just read that book. But what I know will happen is december 30th. I'll knock about and be like shit, shit, shit, as we read frantically, reading up, being like I will complete this one. So I need to. I need to not put it off. I need to first. You know I need to. I haven't started yet, which isn't a good sign, but I have a book that I want to read and it's there see that book you gave me then the one I still not read yet, which I will read one day still rude yep no, but I will read it one day but, did you fall asleep reading that?
Speaker 3:because I know you love that.
Speaker 2:I love that book and I I listen. Obviously I listened to it and then, yeah, I did have the copy and I took it. I was at the gym once and I was sat, bree was doing her class and I sat waiting and I did get a bit. Like you know, however, it is also the worst part of the book that I was reading. So, yeah, read a book and I'm hoping it's going to start with read one book and I'm going to go.
Speaker 2:I'm a bit of that's a bit of all right, I like that, and it's going to snowball, snowball, snowball. And I've read three in a year crazy. So that is what is that? My third one yeah, less phones, reading books, eat at a dining table. And then the most fun one, I think it's going to be a bit of you. I want to do more karaoke. Yeah, I just it is a. I don't think I've got a bad bad voice and it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's karaoke. It's all about how you perform to the room, rather than how good your voice is. You know, if you put on a performance, that means a lot more than just having good pipes right, and now, with this weight loss, I've got a bit more confidence about it. I feel like I don't have to have 10 pints to do it, and that's what it usually takes, like I have to be absolutely off my nut. Terrible I am. Yeah, you can just do this shit, can't you?
Speaker 3:I remember being in London once and there's a piano bar and it wasn't even karaoke. This guy's playing tunes on his piano and I'm like can I come and sing Shallow with you In London, in Kensington?
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, how'd it go? Everyone like loving it. They're like can you sing some more? Were they loving it or were you drunk?
Speaker 3:no, they were loving it. I've got on instagram.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're all like clapping, but everyone's drunk, so okay, that's fine, and but your work, if you're working then when you listen to the video like oh no, but if you work in the audience as well, because obviously there's karaoke where you see the person and like the grip is on the microphone and they're staring at the screen trying to, and then they, then they miss time a bit of it, and then because what you got to do is people, they do karaoke and you've really got it. You've really got to know that song because you can get, if you get thrown off halfway through, you got to win that crowd back because if you stumble, everyone goes ooh oh, can we do.
Speaker 2:Uncle David loves a bit of karaoke oh, he loves it, loves it. Yeah, he'll be, he'll be all over it. He'll be like do you want it now? Can we do it?
Speaker 3:yeah, I mean where karaoke? Well, holly's back in soon.
Speaker 2:So where are we going? Where are we going? I don't know. We'll do Bustler. It would just be us. Might as well just do it in the living room, you know. So I'm all yeah, you've got to know, and also you've got to have the chops for it, like, because there's there's songs that also go on for too long, because I have a playlist. I have a playlist of songs I would sing at karaoke that I know in. Oh yeah, so I can belt them, I know them in, and out, I got Wagon Wheel oh yeah, I forget.
Speaker 2:You're a big country girl, so you know Wagon Wheel. However, wagon Wheel, that's a hard song to sing. At the end it does go on. There is about a minute where they're just repeating it over and over again. If people are sick of hearing you say Wagon Wheel, they're going to be like alright, okay, tie it all up. The one I sang on my stag which I don't know if my friends would just be nice was Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin no no come on, is this where you?
Speaker 2:saw it. No, but I saw it on my career, yeah. So that's like that was one I would lean into because I think I could just put on a pretty decent accent, because people say they can't sing or can you do an impression of someone singing? Yes, if you can do an impression of someone singing, you can sing right. So I can do a decent impression of Bobby Darin and you will know the song 100%. Play it, yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh damn, Everyone knows the song play it?
Speaker 2:yeah, oh, everyone knows this song. Can you, can you sing this? Yeah, I think I do a pretty decent effort, you know, and however it is graphed, I fully understand it. You know, you know, when someone has like a one hit wonder, or they have like their one big hit and they get sick of singing it, I get it because there's songs on playlists where it'll come up and be like I don't have it in me tonight and I'll skip past it I'm like guys, guys, not tonight, I've not got it, I've not got it in me.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, so that's what I want to karaoke more I want to have, I want, and with that is that's like a how are you gonna do this?
Speaker 3:well, yeah, because I've got friends who don't fucking text back I mean, I'm very much I can help you on this, because I do love a bit of curry yeah, but how are you gonna?
Speaker 2:do it. It's a subtitle to a bigger goal, and the bigger goal is to put myself out there more so, and a way of doing it is to, because one of the main things I'm always afraid of doing new things is because of embarrassment. Right, that's why it took us like four months to release an episode of this. It's because we we didn't think it was quite there. I think we were worried that we would be embarrassed by what gets released, right and like. We wanted, we wanted to practice and we wanted to get better at it. But but obviously that first, first episode or whatever way, we're all sat around and we're talking into microphones. It's quite, at first it's embarrassing and then it becomes more natural and you become okay with it and it just becomes like a natural thing. But you're always, theoretically, you have to break through that embarrassment barrier at first I do know what you mean.
Speaker 3:It's like with anything I was like that with how I looked. I used to care like, honestly, even taking something out to the bin, like if you ask my mum, she'll be like shall you just going out to the bin? It doesn't matter what shoes you've got on and what clothes you've got on, you're going out to the bin where.
Speaker 2:Now, you never know who's going to be out there.
Speaker 3:I couldn't care less. I look at me, I'm just rocking that jaw hair oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you really have gone the other way. I've gone the other way completely. Jesus, yeah, wearing a Santa dress over a Christmas special. You know she's lost it, but yeah, no, it is that thing of like you have to, you have to be fine, and it's something that I don't want the kids to have. I don't want them to be embarrassed to try new things because of embarrassment, because if if they want to try new things and they make a bit of a tit of themselves, it's absolutely fine.
Speaker 3:I think you have. No one cares. You have been working on it quite a bit. I think it's since we've been doing the podcast, isn't?
Speaker 2:it For sure.
Speaker 3:You've been working on it quite a lot.
Speaker 2:Like literally, if anyone goes to me like, oh, I've listened to the podcast, I go, oh shit, and I'm not, we're obviously not. It's not just some like we've got some alt-right podcasts where it wasn't meant to be seen by them. It's literally, you know, friendly stuff that we're talking about, but it just gives me like the. I just get like a about it. I don't know why, I don't know why, but it's just a opposite of what you need from a podcast. So I need to get rid of that in me.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't know what it is, because I think I'm overtly confident in some things and just completely underconfident in others and there seems to be no middle ground. Like I don't know, I don't know what it is. It's strange because, like, I have no worries about like walking into a cold call customer potentially and just walking in and you know, going in and facing rejection, couldn't, couldn't, care less, doesn't, doesn't, touch the sides, it's fine, it's whatever. But then the idea of someone listening to our podcast makes me like feel sick and it's mental, that's crazy and it's something I need to work on and I genuinely think you are for sure yeah and like, and it's stuff like eye contact and things like that.
Speaker 2:It's stuff I don't do. I don't make eye contact unless I'm in a cold call talking to a customer. I'll make eye contact with them, but then I'm having a conversation with Bri and I'm like I do see what you mean, because communication.
Speaker 3:I've said to you since I've started this podcast in a meeting. I can get my points across clear. I can win things. I can go in, do it. When it comes to talking about emotions and something really close to me, different story, oh, absolutely.
Speaker 2:Things don't come out right to me, absolutely and with a podcast.
Speaker 3:There's a lot of stuff that you talk about.
Speaker 2:That is very much about how you feel and your motive and stuff it because you are. There's no real distraction from it, is literally just us talking. So so I do get it yeah so, and I so I think, yeah, like I say, I think the karaoke thing is going to be easy, but it is just. It's a small part of something much bigger that I need to work on, and so it's just a kind of like a baby step and it's putting myself out there more and I think, I think the podcast done it back to darby because he loves a bit she loves it yeah we'll go out.
Speaker 2:We'll go out one evening and also I don't want to force it, I don't. I don't want everyone to go. My friends, if you're listening, I don't want to think that if we're on a night out, they're gonna be like fucking, he's gonna take us to karaoke. If it naturally comes about. We happen to be in one of the many research bars that just happens to be playing karaoke the night we're going out. If it just happens to happen, fine, yeah, I want to be in a position where, if someone goes, oh you want to fancy doing this, I go. I don't go. Oh, I'm gonna, let me get a few more in me first. Yeah, you know, because that's just a bit like you're, I'm relying on drink. I don't need to. Yeah, because I'm not. I'm not terrible, you know. Yeah, it's not, you know. So that is it. That is my, they are my things, they are my four main targets. Was it four?
Speaker 3:Karaoke. Sit at the dining room table. Be on your phone less yeah was there another one?
Speaker 2:read a book read a book read a book. Four, four manageable things, I think. Four manageable resolutions that's great. I think that's really good, but I think they're gonna. Hopefully. The aim is that they do a bigger picture yeah, and that is so I'm going baby steps into bigger, like journey of a thousand or what is it?
Speaker 3:journey of a million steps starts with a single footstep or whatever that kind of thing so so how are you gonna have you got anything in place to make sure you keep to these? Um obviously what's that quote? A goal without a plan is just a wish, mm yeah, it's one of those things.
Speaker 2:It's like what is it? The other phrase is wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up quicker, you know but anyway completely unrelated. Um, oh, my legs, um, yeah. So I think what I've got to do is yeah, like you, like you're going to do with your writing. I think I just need to set time aside or get more into a habit of being like why is it 10, 30 and I'm doom scrolling instagram. Why am I not, but sometimes, reading a book?
Speaker 3:it is hard because sometimes you don't realize you're doing it. Yeah, oh yeah I think that's the one thing because sometimes I've literally and I was saying this to one of my friends the other day because when maze is there sometimes I'm thinking, oh shit, and then I go back to the point when I almost lost her and I thought she was to die and I was like these are the times right now where I'm blessed.
Speaker 3:She's still alive, she's still here so the other day I was on my phone, I was actually in podcast work and she was sad, honestly, nearly broke my heart. She was lying on the floor and she kept looking at me and you know the board that you left here that she front of her and she was lying on the floor looking at me and I did. She hadn't given her much attention for a couple of hours and I was like shit, I put it down and played with her, but sometimes you don't realize.
Speaker 3:No, what you're doing so. It's hard, but now you're more aware than you want to put that's it I think I want.
Speaker 2:I want to become more aware of what I'm doing. Yeah, and not kind of float, because you can just get into that kind of like rhythm of like I'm going to the toilet on my phone. Suddenly you're on the toilet for half hour. I'm going to going to go have a shower. I'm going to put on a YouTube video On the side. You're in the shower for 20 minutes, so you've lost 50 minutes of your day on a pee or poo and a shower.
Speaker 3:Sometimes it's good Fine show.
Speaker 2:Set the limits oh, music's fine because you can do the thing is, you can shower, you can always do stuff alongside music being on right, you can always clean the kitchen or whatever. Yeah, and I guess, I guess that also will be my fifth resolution and it's kind of in the dining room, one tied in the dining room. I've got to be more tidy. Tidy Because with the tidiness will come like more organization, more like not more not spending time looking for stuff, because, oh my God, the hours I spend in a day looking for something that I literally just had and I'm just like why have I not got a place where this goes? Why is my key someday on the shoe thing, some days in the kitchen? Someday I've left it in the upstairs bathroom. Some days I've left it like why have I not got a place where this goes? Why is my key someday on the shoe thing, some days in the kitchen? Someday I've left it in the upstairs bathroom, some days I've left it next to the toilet. You know why has this happened? Do?
Speaker 3:you know what they're talking about that. One thing that I did do um this year is got rid of loads of shit, like I said with the tv box that I had in the understairs cupboard get rid got rid of it all and I had such a declutter and a massive spring clean and I feel like it's just starting my year like good. I feel like I've got rid of all the crap yeah fresh house cleaning, smelling nice, feel good.
Speaker 2:Start the year right and it's good to because I've got it's something I'm going to mention in the bonus episode is my, is my big resolution I want to go into in the bonus episode right, guys.
Speaker 3:I'm really sorry, but we might have to cut this short yeah we want to get to the bonus. I want to hear this because it's something.
Speaker 2:It's about that and it's something that I'm going to tack on. It's going to be. It's well, I'm going to Prince, but we'll talk about it in the bonus episode. So thank you for joining us this week for my resolutions, we will be putting some polls up on Instagram to see how yours are going. Like I said, by the time this gets released it will be mid-Jan, which I think was probably the I know you said February it all starts to go to shit, but mid-Jan is probably a time where people are like I'm so bored with the gym right now. Send us a message, let's see if we can give you any motivation to keep it going, and so we want to have a check-in with how your resolutions are going through these polls and through these Instagram messages.
Speaker 2:But we're also going to take it to the next step and, as part of our Patreon joining the lowest level, you will be part of a WhatsApp group, and that WhatsApp group is to keep in touch with us and to talk about your resolutions, send messages, send pictures through of you running up the side of a hill, send pictures in of you knitting your third scarf of the year, of all your different resolutions, like Charlotte and I have got different ones. We're going to send pictures through of me absolutely belting karaoke. It's going to be a way for us to all kind of back each other and support each other in these resolutions or support each other in when, when someone says this resolution is just it's, it's too, it's too much, I can't do it right now, and we we talk about different ways we could attack the situation, you know, and that's that's what we want to do because the thing is, sometimes you can be going through the year and you might change.
Speaker 3:Sometimes you might be like I actually don't want to do this anymore. But I want to do this and it's okay to change as long as you keep checking in with yourself. And this is what our whole group's about.
Speaker 2:It's about building a community no-transcript out there and you get roasted and you know you fit someone in the group is going to make you feel like absolute crap. It's not going to be like that. It's going to be a safe space where, even if you've got loads of little resolutions like me and you just like you just I post in the group that I've finally read my first book by April. You know there'll be support for it. Hopefully and that's what we're aiming for is a safe space, whereas 30 year olds or younger or older, or wherever you're at we're in it together we're in it together.
Speaker 2:That's it, thanks everyone.
