Honestly, I am always afraid of life-changing decisions. When I finished my studies and was about to start conquering the corporate world I thought, that after 13 years at school and 4 years at University my whole life would change now. I was so excited to start working, earning money, having a nice flat and just living the good life. But honestly... nothing changed.

Without knowing for sure I am guessing that I am not the only one here who knows the ...

Specially because I ate so healthy last week." "Just one more episode on Netflix and then I'll start reading." "I deserve one piece of chocolate - I didn't eat any for a whole week." If you feel like caught in the act now and as if I just saw you eating that piece of chocolate in loneliness behind your computer,let me tell you: you are not alone. I can imagine 80% of all people with resolutions just feel the same like you. And to start this post with a big disappointment for you: I am no better.
