It gets better because it has to get better.

We're all made of human.

Hello and thank you for listening to the made of human

podcast on this episode it's the Jemma Kearney episode and it's like a new year

special because Jemma is so amazing and I think she'll really get you excited about the new year

you know because I think we all need 2017 to happen very very quickly and fingers crossed that it's not just going to get

worse I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that but you know we should all be thinking

it here's my idea for the New Year, what I do, or what I did last New Year and I might do it again.

It's last New Year I made a list of 12 things that I really, really wanted to do, but that I never did. It was things like, you know, go for a swim or go to a concert or visit the Natural History Museum, taste oysters, stuff like that.

And I just, because that's like 12 things in a year, that's one a month.

And I thought, I can do that.

That should be possible.

And I think I did nine of them and then I you know

that life happened and I got too busy and I lost my motivation and stuff like that but

still I did I did like nine things I went to a concert and I you know I wrote a chapter of a book

and I I never got to visit the Natural History Museum but I met a guy who works there who can and I got his email so I'll be able to write him and get like a I in my head I'm going to be able to get a tour around the National History Museum when it's closed and there's no people around.

I don't know if you can actually do that, but that's my dream.

And I went to Paris on like a whim for one day and I tasted oysters and hung out my friend who lived there and my goal was to fall in love with Paris which I've already hated Paris and then I went there and it was lovely. So I did that and that's just a lovely thing because I don't think New Year's resolution should be about restrictions and what you can't do anymore.

You know, it shouldn't be about I need to stop eating sugar and stop having fun and stop drinking and stop all of the you know it has to be

about I want to gain these things and I want to do all these good things for

myself and you know I would write like a monthly, like a monthly, I knew I couldn't start writing like a daily journal because I wouldn't go through with that.

But I would write like every month I would put down, you know, ten good things that happened in the past month.
