Nearly a week in and so far I'm doing ok with the resolutions. Whilst I've not actually made any concrete plans yet, I've made a start contacting a couple of friends to arrange to meet up.
On a few occasions I've made a conscious effort to put my tablet down and pick up my book instead so I'm pleased about that. And I've managed a short yoga session most days :-)
Yesterday I was really struggling with my mental health and was particularly proud of myself for remembering the central tenet of the Fischy song, "keep the blues away" which encourages us to talk, sing, move. My usual go-to tactics are the first two but I tried the third. I wanted to cycle to my nearby cafe but apparently the bikes needed checking over so it was suggested we walked instead. This might have been a bluff but I agreed, and set off at a fast pace, as after all the point was to get the endorphins going, not merely amble. At 9.75 miles it was dark by the time we got back, but it certainly helped.
